The Peekamoose Valley

Peekamoose is a very nice place if you’re into the primitive thing. I suppose it’s my fault for not doing my due diligence. I was in the lower area and had to walk pretty far with everything and make at least 6-8 trips for each load-in and out. I went and bought a wagon after the first day to carry the firewood down to our site, But the terrain was so rough it almost didn’t help. Site #6 is directly on the path, so people camping past you need to actually walk through your site and I feel it was more awkward for them as well. Other then those negatives the “ Blue Hole” is amazing and it’s quite beautiful to stay right on the creek. Oh, did I mention the Tics!??

We stayed here mid-March and although it was a little chilly at night, overall a great spot. We got to the spot at around 4pm, and choose a spot in the “upper field”, although we didn’t see anyone at the lower spots on the road. The upper field spots have a little more flat area and were more secluded. The only thing was there was no port-a-potty at the upper field. There was a fire pit with lots of wood available and flat ground for tents. The area was pretty big and we walked down the river to watch the sunset which was beautiful. At night, the only noise you’ll hear is from the river and animals in the forest which is of course an added benefit! In the morning we went hiking, and there are lots of cool hikes close by to do so. Really cool spot, can’t wait to return.

Camped out at one of the sites by the river and it was amazing, no one was around except a man far from our site. Good walking distance to the car especially in the cold! A few benches, and no trash cans so take your trash with u.
