Belleplain is easy to get to, but it’s just remote enough that you’ll truly feel like you’re getting the outdoor experience. Make sure you have a map of the site handy, as it can be hard to navigate with the foliage and lack of marked roadways.

The staff was completely absent when we tried to check in, so we went right to the site. Finding the site was difficult because the leaves had fallen and covered the roads. It was a little tricky, but no major issue. We had some privacy, but for the most part, the sites are open to each other. I recommend staying by the lake.

The closest bathrooms were closed, so we had to drive a few minutes to a different set. That got annoying. Also, there is absolutely nowhere to leave your trash, so be prepared to pack in and pack out.
