We camped in area 6 at Nickerson state forest campground, the campsites are right in top of each other. There isn't any foliage between sites for privacy the place feels like a festival, everyone is so crowded. The beaches are beautiful but are a hike through hiking trails some straight down at a 80° walking path trail. There is poison Ivy everywhere, so be careful. There are plenty of bathrooms throughout but not all have dishwashing sink. The only shower house is at the entrance to the area 6, so bit of a walk. There is a park store for necessaries and wood but its a 45 min hike from area 6. Other then all that not many bugs, haven't had to deal with mosquitoes either. The beaches have shallow spots up to 500 ft. Out in the lake, but watch out because there are deep drop-offs here and there. We are enjoying our time here besides all that I shared with you.
We gave a 4 star mostly because of lack of privacy between sites. But we had a good time, just beware the air is heavy and makes it hard to breathe and makes you sleepy.
