Very quiet, not very amenities.

Esterbrook Campground is a great place to take the family. It is located about 30 miles from the town of Douglas and thankfully the road to the campground is paved most of that 30 miles and the last part is a gravel road but it is pretty well maintained. You can easily get there in a smaller sedan car. You can call ahead and get a reservation, however we didn't and still was able to get a spot. This campground isn't very busy, so you could always luck out and get a spot without calling ahead of time. The campground was pretty quiet, and we didn't have anyone to our left and right which was nice. Gave us some room! Before hand I did some research and they said they had potable water, however they did not. They had something that looked like it could be a potable water spot, but it was not in working condition. So definitely bring your own water. I would say that this campground isn't well designed, meaning you really are tent camping because they don't have very many amenities- they call it a "primitive campground." They also do not have a dump station. There is some hikes nearby, which we did one morning. Beautiful views from the top. You can also hike a little ways to a river close by where you can fish. I would say if you are looking for a place to get away last minute and you don't care if there is many amenities, then you would like this place.
