The sites are level and spacious. Plus you can go tubing on the river. A great service ,Sugar River adventures picks you up at the campground and you float down back to the campground. I'd go back again.

Love coming to this place every once in a while. Looking forward to maybe camping there this summer. The trails are well kept and overall friendly to walk on. it's always full of wildlife whenever I go. Spring peepers make the area sound so alive this time of year. I took lots of photos for my photography class this week.

Beautiful, quiet campground with first-come, first-serve spots available (10/31/20). Cash only and no attendant, but we had our pick of almost all of the campsites. Water was still on in the main bathroom, and toilet paper was well stocked in the pit toilets. Lots of downed wood nearby for firewood, which was good as we never saw anyone to purchase wood. Beautiful, well-groomed trails for hiking or a couple for horses. A good bit of horse poop, but otherwise very well maintained. Gorgeous fall views! Would stay again!

Wonderful camp site and hosts. Most sites with electric hookup, but no water. Bring along a long hose and you might reach a tap to refill. Wooded lots. Near the river, good for canoeing and nice trails (mostly grassy).
