TravelerNight of Hail
Lovely place to stay, clean with trash cans and vault toilets. Unfortunately we had 5 hail storms that night.
ScoutPathetic, unmaintained property, which was once a pleasure to visit.
Ten years ago the campground was clean, weed free, well maintained and now it is an embarrassment of what it once was. Once having the American flag flying, no more. Once practically weed free, no more. Ten years ago it offered information of the region now that is gone. Stand by the Register and enjoy the Canada Thistle growing at your feet. Walk to Slater pond and work your way through the unkept, weed infested trail of Canada Thistle and Leafy Spurge. What a disappointment in such a short period of time. I can see my money is not well spent.
RangerVery nice and quiet
Only a handful of spots but they are nicely separated with some privacy. Small maintained trails and really pretty. It is a wet year and everything is very green and yes you need to be prepared for ticks to hike in the tall grass. The trails are well marked and easy to follow. Not sure what more to expect from it.
