What you should know:

  • Limited Amenities: Some campgrounds, like Bass River State Forest, have basic facilities. A visitor noted, "The bathroom (shower room?) was reasonably clean, but I have only been to this camp site, so there is no comparison."

  • Plan for Meals: Make sure to bring enough food and snacks, especially if you're at a campground without a market, like Turkey Swamp Park. One camper mentioned, "The camp store had a few necessities and importantly for us, frozen treats."
