Sites with good separation from neighbors are common, very nice. First campground I've seen with a wood cart to get the wood back to your site without making a mess in your vehicle.

Great campground, I enjoy it up here. The free firewood is not to be ignored. Especially given they have a free to use cart to help carry it back to your campground. However I did notice there's a little walking path that goes to the rear of the wood pile. It has better pieces of wood there than the paved road access. So I'd recommend sneaking around the to rear. The sites are decently sized. And pretty well isolated from each other. While not all are perfect, it's still very private. Local hiking is a bit of a trek away, at the bridge. But the trails are phenomenal and absolutely worth going to. There's tails for all levels.

Very quiet campground, decently private campsites and excellent staff. The Mongolian Yurt is very cute and well outfitted. Note: unlike many camp easy yurts in the province, this one is NOT pet friendly. Not a lot of activities at Anglin if you don't have a boat but if you're just looking for a relaxing & quiet weekend away to read a book and enjoy some walks through nature. Emma and Christopher Lake are nearby for activities and provisions

It's not a far hike from the campground. It's worth checking out as adults or with children as it is a neat piece of history. It's very easy to take places like this for granted. There's a lot of work that has gone into maintaining and preserving this place. Don't take my opinion, you should check it out yourself and be amazed!

13$ reservation fee when you drive there and have to go online is ridiculous. I’m not reserving anything I showed up and took an empty site.
