This is a great rural no frills campground

I’m pretty sure this is a scouting campground (Cub Scout). All the sites are in large clusters (each can accommodate 10+ tents). many of the sites are also along Wakefield Pond (big enough lake for canoe/kayak/etc. The area is heavily wooded without much else around and very few amenities.. A few of the clusters have a covered patio area with electricity. There are a few rough restrooms and some porta-potties. There’s a small somewhat sandy area that perhaps used to be a beach of sorts, though no lifeguards or anything. The water is clean and fine for swimming with a few areas that make for easy entry into the water (including the “beach”). Thos is the type of campground to just come and unwind, fish, cook, etc don’t expect much else.
