Hammel Woods

I've lived within 2 miles of this campground for 7 years, and I've driven past it literally hundreds of times, but it wasn't until a friend of mine found himself unemployed and said "let's go camping" that we actually camped here.  They have 6 primitive sites, and you have to walk in from the parking lot.  It is NOT drive in.  The sites are all decent, have fire rings, and big solid picnic tables, and each site has it's own garbage can.  The camping sites are immediately adjacent to the dog park off Black Road.  I will say, between Black Rd, I 55, and Rt. 59, the road noise is noticeable.  The office staff and park ranger who closed the gate were all friendly and helpful.
