Campsite #128 was a beautiful spot with plenty of space and a great atmosphere. The terrain was a bit uneven, so it took a little scouting to find a semi-level area for my tent—but once I did, it was smooth sailing. Overall, a peaceful and scenic place to camp. Just come prepared to do a little site prep and you’ll have a great stay!

Beautiful park, awesome place to primitive camp! My choice in the time of year for camping here was kinda crazy for a tent 😅🤣, but sometimes the worst times can be the best times. Depends on your perspective in hindsight besides..lok at these amazing pics! Definitely coming back in the spring/summer

we went camping here over 4th of July, we unfortunately did have to cut our trip short due to a weird lady randomly just stopping at the entrance of our campsite and then sitting there when it was close to 10pm, we did end up leaving afterwards due to the nature of her, but that isn't the campsites fault. just a reminder to be aware of your surroundings and of people. I really enjoyed the scenery and not having any cell service, the fishing spot was slightly hard to find along with our campsite, so really have your eyes peeled. the driving to get to anything kind of takes away the whole camping experience, but it was nice nonetheless. the bathrooms are really bad, so definitely bring one of those camping toilets (we didn't, but that's our mistake). The whole experience was really good for my first time camping.

Although i did not do any camping, the area does have some nice fields with roads that lead to the Savage river. I saw quite a few people who had set up their tents, canopies, and grills all ready to relax and fish. There is access to the upper Savage Reservoir and a lot of campsite campers had kayaks. This area - the upper stream that flows into the Savage Reservoir - is just beautiful water for fly or ultralight trout fishing. There are pulloffs nearby with DNR fishing information.
