Autumn Getaway in Lakes Region
Now, everyone's idea of a perfect campsite is different, but for us, the Newfound Campground was perfection.
The most important things we look for in a campground is a friendly host, safe grounds, and clean amenities. The campground was a great base location for the local attractions and sights. Our compacted ground site was level and had a dedicated patch of grass with a small tree. We personally felt that the sites were all well-spaced, we’ve been in campgrounds much, much closer. The onsite facilities were clean and well maintained. (For those interested, the laundry is $1.50 for a wash and $1.50 for an hour dry cycle.) There are two private cubicle/stall restrooms centrally located on the grounds which were very clean. I work remotely, so having internet access is mandatory, we were able to use our AT&T hotspot with decent service. That worked well enough for my needs, so I didn’t test the onsite WiFi.
A fun plus to the campground was the nature walk and stream on the property. This was a great place to take our dog for a quick walk. There’s even a little “wishing” bridge that crosses the stream. We were visiting mid-October, so the fall colors made the nature trail even more picturesque.
For quick provisions there is a gas station/country store just up the road. They have a decent selection of groceries, a deli counter, and a few quick-serve items. There are plenty of local restaurants nearby, we personally enjoyed the Very Excellent American-Chinese Restaurant and Cielito Mexican Restaurant.
