Very peaceful

Stopped here on the way back. Not crowded on a weekend and really only the water sites were busy. Good fishing in the lake. Like all good forests it’s primitive and non reservable. Wouldn’t worry about getting a site tho. We stayed in 7 and had nobody around us. Great place to come to get away from it all.

Hidden gem

I’ve been going to this campground since 1998. I have a lot of childhood memories here and I Believe it is a hidden little gem.

A must go to if you want listen to loons and see the stars.

I marked down all the sites I’ve stayed in over the years.

Large rustic sites - FCFS

Great place to check out if everything else is booked. Water is a hand pump. Dump station in the town of Marcell. Some sites are on the water with a private set of stairs to the lake. Swim beach, wonderful campground hosts, and spotless pit toilets.
