Old Headquarters Campsite

It's not often you find a camp along the trail that's large, but this one is just that! About 50 yards off of the North Country Trail, it's well worth the hike to get into. It could easily accommodate a small group of people that had a few tents and hammocks.

*Note: it was a bit hard to find (if you were coming from the west, traveling east), because it appears that the entrance to the campsite has been re-routed. I suspect to give the campsite a bit more privacy. But if you continue to follow the trail around the lake (lake would be on your right), it's just a few hundred yards past where it's located on the map. Conversely, it would be a few hundred yards before where it's supposed to be if you were approaching from the east.**

We were super glad to find this site after about 12 miles on the trail. And even happier to see lots of tent trees! We had hammocks, and there were wonderful, huge pines without lower branches that made it super easy to hang from. No underbrush made it lovely! There were a few tent pads on nice, level ground too, if you had a tent to pop up.

We had a fire ring, there was a bench, a few logs to dry my shoes on, scenery of the lake and a bathroom very nearby. Plenty of dry, downed wood for the fire too. It was just a short hike to the lake for water.

Quiet, serene, beautiful view, cleanly kept and plenty of trees (yes...even a few bear bag trees that were easy to find). Definitely worth a hike to crash at this lovely little gem.
