Elizabeth Furnace Family Campground

Stayed first weekend of Spring, some of the campsites are on a creek or river. Only $1o due to Covid, loads to do including a rather enormous grass clearing for picnic, bridge and cabin, fishing and hiking complete with billboards describing the hike. It was beautiful and the stars at night were breathtaking. We met one of the volunteer park rangers who suggested we drive about 15 min into town to Woodstock to a viewpoint and right below is a local store where they make THE BEST homemade sandwiches and desserts.

This is a great, accessible, and approachable spot for campers of all sorts. Easy access to several trails with a variety of difficulties, including the challenging Maneka Peak Trail and Signal Point loop, or more tame options in and around the site. Very popular and often crowded spot, but for good reason. Good fire pit availability, nice amenities, overall a good camping experience!

Camped along the Elizabeth Furnace trails this past weekend. Originally intending to stay in the campground, we discovered that all first-come-first-serve plots had been claimed.

We set out along the numerous trails to find a spot that would provide us with some privacy from day hikers as well as proximity to passage creek to do some fishing. The forest is beautiful, the trails are very well marked and preserved.
