Just below the Presidential range, this site is pretty sweet. The hike in from route 16 is relatively easy with an uphill trend. Toward the end the trail is the steepest but it's a short climb and worth the effort. There's a water source just downhill with a nice spot to sit and relax. The campsite has a map that outlines the kitchen/cooking area and sites. Be advised, mice and perhaps other rodents WILL get your food in the box provided so store your food appropriately. They will destroy your food for sure! The tent pads aren't easily spotted so be ready to walk around and find the sites. I'm sure this spot gets busy so be sure to have a backup plan just in case. There is a large AMC run campsite nearby that is certainly more popular than this one, but this one is free!
