It was great!

Spent a weekend here in July. There was only one other site is use while we were there. Very secluded and set back in the woods, but only a short drive to Nockamixon. Would definitely stay again!

quiet secluded campground

Great place to camp if it’s your first time, clean restrooms, nice sites, showers, and cellphone service. Garbage bins are available but bring additional bags it really helps. 

Don’t forget the firewood!

GREAT, Cozy Sites

Small (13-site) Bucks County Pennsylvania campground. The entrance and loop road, along with the campsites are all gravel. Some sites appeared to be more defined than others. Each site had a picnic table, fire ring, and garbage can. No hookups. 

  

The restrooms were dated and passable; I did not use the shower. 

  

The lake is separate from the campground and there did not appear to be defined access from the campground to the lake, although there was a sort of path from site 13 that I followed as far as I could. While I could see the lake from this path, there did not seem to be any way to get into the lake (and there was a lot of algae and water lilies). We checked out the lake the next day. There is a (dirt) boat ramp but there was a red flag warning, and the lake had a lot of algae bloom. 

  

This campground did not appear to be a very popular one; on the Thursday before Memorial Day, only two sites were occupied, and I only saw a few reservation tags for the upcoming holiday weekend. It felt a bit neglected, but it was very quiet. If you are looking for a small, uncrowded campground with no amenities, this would be a good choice, but we were just passing through.
