Perfect for ATVs
The sites were level and well maintained with fire rings. Pit toilet cleaned daily during the summer and two trash dumpsters. There is no cell reception at the campground. There is a hand crank well but the water has lots of forest debris. We filled our camper with water at Mt. Meadow Campground for $10. ATVs were respectful in the campground. Across the road is a big lot where trailers can be parked. Numerous ATV trails were easy to access.
A creek side ATV haven
Camp creek side at this small campground. Watch out for the ATVs as there are many trails for them here. One starts just across the road where there is a parking area for day use.
Some sites are by the creek and others were in the sun. Water is available and camp is well kept. 5 miles down the gravel road is Deerfield Lake where you can find hiking and fishing.
This is a nice spot amidst some beautiful scenery.

Fantastic gem
Are you looking for a quiet campground with wildlife among you? Then this the place. Campsites back up to a babbling stream. Clean bathroom and water available. we camp here several times a summer. Only downside is it is popular with the Atv's with lots of trails nearby. Dust can be an issue with the increased traffic.
