Not very private, but a good close-by campground

This campground was nice enough, decent bathroom and vault toilets. The site we chose was in the older section, where though we still didn’t have much privacy, it was definitely more private than over in the meadow sites. Several sites in the area we camped, including ours, were right on the river which was lovely. The downside is this campground is bisected by the highway, so it can be noisy. It wasn’t too bad at night except when motorcycles would zoom by. The first night there was a group a few sites down that were up until 2am, very loud, and apparently oblivious to all of us around them. We talked to the kind ranger the next day (as did several others) and they spoke to the campers. The second night all was quiet. Generally we camp in much smaller campgrounds, where the camp hosts are near enough to hear and nip it on the bud. This is a big, popular campground, and we are just more into small, more private, more out of the way campgrounds in general. We enjoyed the hike that starts in the campground, and ventured down the road to Rocky Brook Falls too, which was beautiful. The entire surrounding area is just lovely.

Before leaving, we drove around and wrote down all the site numbers that were more private, because we would definitely come again when we need a close to home location that takes reservations.
