We love this campground. We go for the Halloween Weekends and love all the children's activities, the deco and community. We can't wait to come back!

We arrived late, and after hours arrival was basically a grassy spot to park. No picnic table. We did have access to restrooms and showers. They were not very clean. I would not stay here again, especially if I could not arrive before check in closed. Paid way too much for what we got.

STAY AWAY, unless you want your items stolen and the campground take no responsibility for it! God forbid you ask a question in their Facebook page about your stolen items and the campground block you too (guilty much?) We were seasonals for over 20+ years, and good riddance. Place has completely fallen apart and should be ashamed of themselves. Money hungry at the least. Wouldn’t step foot there ever again.

The only thing to really do around Wolfs Den campgroundis to visit Gillette Castle. The Campground itself was OK. They have a nice pool. It’s the usual lot of seasonal campers that tend to neglect their sites. It makes it look trashy. plenty of much better Campground to go to.

The gentleman in the office was not friendly and seemed inconvenienced by checking us in… he was in a conversation with a seasonal guest about everyday chatter. I think he should have checked new arrivals in and then carried on with the conversation, instead of having us standing there listening for 10 minutes. The campground was nice, pool was great and overall a nice experience.
