TravelerThe coordinates are wrong. Search for sugar hill fire tower and you’ll find it. (42.3868868, -77.0025425)
The place itself is really great.
TravelerThis campground is basically a big field surrounded by the forest. The sites are really nice, each one has a table with benches and a fire place. You can drive your car in here (gravel road). It has a toilet house.
TravelerBeautiful camp site with electricity. Close to lots of trails.
ScoutThe campground is under new ownership and is being renovated. The pool and cabins are being replaced. The camper lots hook ups could use an upgrade.
ScoutCampsites are VERY close to neighbors. Rules are excessive and unneeded. One must stay at site at all times. It is not a free campground. It is $30 a night, $8 per car. Max is 2 cars. Sites are gravel so tent fixing is Hard. There are no flotation devices allowed in the water. Beach hours are 12am-6pm even when it’s extremely hot outside. Nature is drowned out by the noise of the residence.
GuideThis campground is very small, only 12 sites. It is a gravel lot with full hookups located behind a Gastropub with an outstanding menu. Its called Rusted Acres CG and the gastropub is The Rusted Nut. You call the pub and make a reservation. Check in on arrival. All hookups are located at the back of the sites, so you might need a longer sewer hose and water hose.
Note: You must pay cash for the site for now.
The location is quiet, minor road noise. Close by is a grocery store and gas station, post office is a short walk away.
GuideThis CG has two distinct sections. Near the entrance is the Pull Through Area. Behind a row of trees there are several sites with full hookups including cable TV and Wi-Fi. The sites are open, reasonably level, and a good size. The other sites are in the woods, most of these sites do not have sewer connections. There is a honey wagon service available. We camped with a relative who was new and we were teaching them how to operate their camper. We had a couple of dry days then some rain. Still was a great teaching/learning experience.
Make sure you use a water filter, there was a lot of sediment in the water when we were there. See pictures of 4 days on a new cartridge.
We had a fantastic sunrise one morning.
TravelerThis is a good place to camp . Good working utilities on nice sites . The views from the campground are great .
TravelerLots of fisherman frequent the pond. Toilet isn’t set up yet but will once the season opens.
The first few campsites are the best the further down you go the worse the sites get for tent set up. Smaller tents would be best do here.
Great trees for hammock camping though.
