Great campground, in a beautiful location, been camping here for years…but definitely not peaceful anymore! Seems everyone has a generator now, and will run them 4-5 hours at a time, in the mornings and late afternoon. All you hear is engine noise! We camped next to two guys in an older RV, and their onboard gen blasted right into our camp multiple times a day, so we had to keep our trailer closed up and was so loud it would echo throughout the campground. And dog barking! Everyone has dogs and just lets the bark excessively, with zero consideration for others. And our camp host did nothing. I’d suggest setting generator hours between 11 and 1pm ONLY for people to charge their batteries and/or precook their dinner. And then have a strict excessive no-barking policy, if they can’t control their dog barking, more than 2 complaints, would be forced to leave.

We do not camp here but mainly drive up to swim and fish for the afternoon. There are multiple swim holes and fish are stocked through early summer. You can enjoy a picnic here or hike a ways to find your own secluded hole. Keep in mind this place is popular in summer but if you arrive early you have a pick of spots. The fishing can be fair to incredible depending on the time of year. I have caught some rather large brook trout in here as well as brown trout and rainbow trout are the main stay. I suggest bringing lifejackets because some holes are rather deep.

I visited pre Memorial Day weekend and the campground was wide open. The campground is well maintained with flush toilets and water in the restrooms. Campsites were distributed in a way where you are not on top of each other. Great experience.

Great place to bring your family. Campground is very large and each site is nicely spaced out from your neighbor. Restrooms are well kept. Bring your own water to do chores like washing dishes washing hands. The water sites are "boil before use." Camp host are friendly and helpful. They have paid per use showers I didn't use them but they are there. Plenty to do around the area. lots of opportunities to explore. Bears are in the area, so come prepared. Over all, I'd give this campground 10/10.
