Nice weekend getaway

This place was really nice. Easy to pull our 20ft camper in. Two minutes drive to the very cute town of Wilmington. Good places to eat there. The campsite was really private. Had a picnic table and fire pit. The pond was sweet and the Deerfield Valley Trail is right off the campsite. We would definitely like to stay there again.

A peaceful pondside retreat.

Picnic table & grated fire ring close to small pond, with ducks, frogs, & a heron during our stay. Short setback from Rte 9, (can be a bit of road noise during day, quieter at night). Sites are pretty flat, easy access.
3 bars USCellular LTE.
