Different size sites, att cell reception. Mostly clean short drive to pond and stores.

Very nice

The camp spots were all pretty spread out from each other and the road was easy to drive on. There were only about 10 spots along the access road. Brewery, distillery, beautiful lakes and scenic towns all within 15 minutes of the sites.

Cool Spot!

It had rained a lot prior to our arrival, and several sites were damp. We found a perfect site off the road on the right side. It was large and flat. We were off the road by 100 feet or so. It made it more private. I would highly recommend this site. We stopped on our way through to Stowe Vermont. 

Nice Night

It was getting dark when we arrived and it had been raining all day. We just needed a night and it was great. Some sites were really wet but we found a nice dry place. 

Beautiful, Quiet and restful!

Large, well organized camping spots along the road. The spot I chose had a beautifully built fire pit. It was a little muddy from rain. 

Large sites

Great spot for quiet desolate camping. Several spots to choose from.

Easy and Desolate

I just got here.  Road was quite good.  I believe I have the last of 4 sites.  Nice camp fire area.

Wonderful spot

Site was littered with places previous campers had left human excrement. 
While not in the site directly, it was all around it. 
Also had someone who decided to use the area to sight in his rifle. Which was very unexpected as it was incredibly loud with no warning at all. 
Was not aware this was a gun range. 
Tried to flag down a park ranger, but he just drove on by. 
Attempted a winter trip, however there is a sign that says no motorized vehicles except snowmobiles. 
Most likely opens up to camping in the spring.
