Love it

Small, rustic, remote, clean and quiet. Large and level campsites that are well spaced. Although only one of the sites has a river view this campground Ideal for trout anglers. There's a access point to Gamble Creek between sites 171 and 173. I got my 20' trailer back there no problem.

Great Place

A rather modern rustic national forest campground. Very well kept. Sites are large, level and shady. Half the sites are reservable and the other half are first come first serve.

Ok

Modern Campground. Clean. Gets crowded, especially during weekends. Great trails for day hiking. Lake is a 10 minute drive. I like staying here during the spring turkey hunting season.

Fantastic

Very remote western Maryland Appalachia. Sites are right off park road, are huge, rustic, and spaced very far apart from other sites. River runs along the sites.

Nice

This was a stop over stay for us as we headed towards the Smokies. Nice family oriented modern Campground. Very large sites, well shaded, paved and all the hook ups. None of the sites are located right on the lake. You either walk the trails or drive down.

Ok

Campground was OK. 3 different loops with nicely spaced out shady sites. Really not much to do unless you're taking cave tours or hiking.

Something for everyone

We stopped by Brown County State Park for one night during our travels. This was our first visit and stopped here on a whim. We were very pleased with what the park had to offer. The campground area is very large. Several hundred sites spread out over miles of rolling hills. This place offers everything from remote rustic camping to front country modern camping. We saw a black bear at dusk digging through a garbage can at one of the picnic areas along the parks interior roads - black bears are reported as not being present in the park. I've witnessed countless black bears in the wilderness and this wasn't a case of mistaken identity. It was a black bear digging through a garbage can.

Love the Smokies!

Smokemont isn't nearly as good a Campground as Elkmont, but not to say it isn't a really good place to stay. It's clean and well kept. Sites are close together with little to no privacy. The river running through the campground makes up for it. We always see a lot of wildlife in the fields near the Oconaluftee visitor center. Bears this time around. There was a reported bear attack up near the Cosby Campground while we were staying at Smokemont

Rustic

Not the easiest place to haul a trailer into, but worth it.

Worth a visit.

This is a very pretty and well maintained family oriented State Park Campground that's situated on the southern shores of Lake Otsego. About 10 minutes from Gaylord. The lake has that touristy up north lake vibe. Campground is heavily used Memorial day through Labor day. No issues getting a data signal for my phone (T-mobile 5G).

If you're looking to get away from people, this isn't the campground for you. I personally prefer a more of a rustic, the less people the better, type campgrounds.

Relaxing

40 first come first serve rustic sites. No problem getting smaller trailers back there. None of the sites are located on the water. Lake is small but beautiful. Great for swimming and kayaking.
