Gorgeous spot

Lots of trees and trails. Quiet, scenic spot for a one night stay. No water pressure in the showers so don’t plan on washing your hair!

Two Nights at Ferne Clyffe

Spent two night at Ferne Clyffe. Camped at spot 13. Dog friendly, pretty well spaced out campsites but some are used as paths with to get to farther back campsites. Good set up, not too close to neighbors and it’s heavily wooded in between. Nice large clearing with picnic tables and outhouses. Camped in mid August and it was in the 80s during the day and 65 at night.

Quiet campground with lots of hiking trails and wildlife. Clean bathrooms

Nice quiet campground with lots of trees and nicely separated camp spots. Water only available at few spots and you would need a really long hose to attach if open faucet available. No answer to phone calls and reservation webpage dropped us twice. You take an open spot and pay the park ranger or host when they come around. There are some really nice hiking trails there.
