Not much privacy
As mentioned, this is a "walk in" campground. The campground itself has a road going around it and the sites are in the middle(can't recall if some might also be off to the other side of the road). With this said, there's not a whole lot of privacy.
Despite this, during the week its usually fairly tranquil. I've stayed a number of nights at this particular campground and usually Friday-Saturday its hopping so keep that in mind.
Easy to get to, and I'm pretty sure there's a trail down to the creek from one of the parking areas.
I would return, just make sure you're coming during the week if you enjoy privacy.
Walk in tenting campground
Norton campground is not for the RV crowd. This 13 site campground has only designated parking areas, no pulling into a campsite. Those camping will need to walk their gear a short distance to their camping location. The campground is a single loop with all the campsites in the center of the loop. Numbers painted on the picnic tables tell you which site you are in. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. Some site are close to each other, most are nicely spread out. This is not a location for RVs, they just won't fit, if you have anything bigger than a pickup truck with a camping in the bed then continue down the road, anything larger than a pickup or with a trail will not fit with out stealing parking availability for others. Site has water and vault toilets. The vault toilets are old and are not to ADA standards. Cost is $6 per night, first come first served. Beautiful Rock Creek, a blue ribbon stream, is near this campground. Fish Species include brown trout, rainbow trout, and brook trout. The only downside to this campground is the private home right next to it.
