Beautiful Spot

Nice little state park. The waterfront sites are great, but you can be very close to your neighbors. The last site 15 is also right next to a very busy boat launch. While the sites are nice, overall maintenance of the facilities was less than ideal. The beach has weeds, the bathrooms were not maintained at all. The lake and area are beautiful.

Small pondside campground - swimming, fishing, canoeing/kayaking

This state campground offers a variety of wooded sites, some drive in and others remote boat-in (29R-31R). The main campground offers full service bathrooms with showers; remote sites (including several drive-in sites) have an outhouse, but no potable water. If you want easy access to the beach and facilities, look to a site in the main loop, but if you want a little more solitude, check out the remote sites. That said, all waterfront sites fill quickly and for 2021 you'll be running into reservations that were moved from 2020 Sites 18-22 are on a dead-end, but there is enough space for a small trailer to turn around (I was able to negotiate it with a teardrop, but I wouldn't want something much longer). It was quiet midweek, but it was also the pandemic summer. That said, it's a smaller campground than a place like Fish Creek or Rollins Pond, so fewer people to make noise!

There's  a large beach and boat rentals are available. If you plan to fish, purchase your license before you arrive as phone signals are weak.

Busy spot

Nice grounds, clean beach. Great for kayaking because the water is calm. A couple of off site spots that are hard to snag.

Peaceful

Tent camping at its best. Quiet and nestled in the trees. Not much is nearby in the way of attractions but there is amazing hiking trails all throughout this area. If you are new to hiking in real mountains like the ones near this campground (I’m from Jersey so...) be sure to have a personal beacon since your cell phone won’t work on the hikes. The campground does get 1 bar.
