Swimming in Lillian Brook is cold, a fact worth knowing before you plan a dip in the rock pool beside camp. This free, hike-in site in the High Peaks Wilderness sits directly alongside the brook, where water runs clear enough to collect with a filter or purification tablets. A lean-to is on-site. The campground sees use as part of the Dix Mountain loop, making it a practical overnight stop for those covering that route. Campers exploring campgrounds near High Peaks Wilderness will find this one among the more water-accessible options in the area. Drinking water and toilets are available, pets are welcome, and there is no fee to stay.
