How do I put into words the fun time I had her back in 2017? It's not easy, but I'll try. It was a weekend trip with my mom, my sister and my nephew, and my aunt and uncle were there too at a nearby campsite. The gentle yodeling of the loons was some of the most relaxing music I ever fell asleep to, and the next day my uncle cooked Puerto Rican chicken for dinner at his campsite. Saturday evening saw the hayride around the campground, and then came the time for the bonfire. Appropriately enough, "Girl On Fire" by Alicia Keys was playing as Justin lit the bonfire. Then somebody turned around and had "Play That Funky Music" by Wild Cherry, and the dancing feet took over. I did get to talk to Justin later on and say "Thank you so much for a dynamite camping experience", and I was majorly bumming when we had to leave on Sunday morning. Man, I hope we get to go back this summer. That would be a real treat.

Made our week. All our needs were met. What a road trip station! Clean baths, forested sites and wifi everywhere.

Giving a 3 due to no enforcement of park rules. This is a good place, quiet, nice people. Biggest issue was the speeding. Everybody we saw speeding were seasonal as well. Such a shame. I know it’s hard to enforce rules like that with short staffing but a friendly reminder to your seasonal campers can’t hurt. Water pressure was pretty low. WiFi not very good. Cell signal not very good either (not the parks fault obviously). Overall we had a pleasant experience. Park is in a great location. Just please get your seasonal folks to slow down.

This campground impressed us with its clean cabin, clean restrooms, friendly staff and sense of community. Even though we only stayed three nights, everyone welcomed us and the staff were flexible and accommodating. (We checked in late, ran out of firewood, left a towel behind, etc. And there was a solution for everything). We normally prefer more secluded camping, but Balsam Cove was quiet at night and upbeat during the day and we really enjoyed our stay.
