"We had never been to site before so when we booked, we thought we were next to a bathroom. Turns out you had to walk through woods to get there in the mud."
"There was a potable water spigot a few sites over and a bathroom with showers a short walk away.
This is a great spot for tent camping, so if that’s your vibe this place is perfect."
"The campground is still being minimally maintained as a group of 8 drive-in campsites on the north side, and 4 other scattered sites on the east and of the pond."
"This is a relatively unknown oasis outside of the county, but this state forest has a network of miles of trails for both hiking and criss country skiing."
"This is a relatively new location for primitive camping in the Pharsalia Woods State Forest."

"Two entrances, one to the kitchen and the other to the porch. Outside was a fire ring.
An easy hike to a nearby lake was very pretty."
"Great place to stay, Close to Cooperstown. Nice lake for the kids to go swimming and fishing. If you like to hike they have some great trails. Nice size sites, the only down fall is they fill up fast."
"This campsite is a hike in stop on the Finger Lakes Trail, but can also be accessed by a short walk-in from Elmer Jackson Rd, or by paddling in from the parking area in the west side of the pond."
ScoutHad a great stay, loved the good WiFi, showers, laundry, and bathrooms!
GuideVery quiet small campground - friendly staff - large spots/mainly bigger setups. Only downside is there is not a hiking/walking path down to the lake from the campground. Very nice bathrooms w shower and wash station. Electricity and water available at or near each campsite.
ScoutEasy to find and very nice space.
TravelerThis campground has sites on both Dry Brook and the Butternut Creek. Some sites are electric/water, and some are full srvice. Nice bathrooms and showers with ADA compliant bathrooms and showers on the one side of the park. Also, a dumping station and garbage dumpsters.
TravelerI have been coming here since I was a kid and now take my family too. My 3 year old loves the swimming pool and the ice cream and craft carts that come around. Highly recommend for those seeking a family friendly- jellystone or koa type park with a mom and pop atmosphere
ScoutMy first time to Oneida was amazing. The staff and people there were welcoming and accepting i felt the bond the community has there its something special and im hoping eventually i can get a parcel of land there i would like to be a seasonal there. Its a place where you can be yourself and express yourself without fear or worry of judgement by your peers. Ive never been some where that felt so inviting and peacefull. Im going to Oneida again it was an amazing experience. Thank you so much everyone who made my trip and visit there so special.
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.
LegendThis is a relatively new location for primitive camping in the Pharsalia Woods State Forest. There is a parking area just off the Plymouth Reservoir Rd that allows you to access a network of trails that traverse the state preserve around the unique Round Pond and adjacent bog. Primitive camping is allowed anywhere in the vicinity as long as you are 150 feet from the waters edge and away from the parking lot. The parking lot has an info kiosk with a map of the trail network and info about the unique bog ecosystem. You need to sign in at the kiosk, but otherwise there are no permits needed and no fees. One amazing aspect at this site is a beautiful and accessible raised boardwalk to a unique overlook that has a beautiful vista over the bog and is an amazing place for birdwatching especially during spring migration. You can also access the bog pond here if using kayaks or canoes. It is like a unique wilderness location fir primitive camping, but only 15 minutes from the village of Norwich!
