We had a great stay at Foster Falls, Site 1. Under normal circumstances, this site might not be the best. It’s right at the entrance and doesn’t have a ton of privacy. However, only two other people camped in the campground that night so we had the place to ourselves. Also, the sites that appear more private at the end of the loop have to deal with an annoying vocal rooster. We had ok Verizon cell service.
The sites are large and well maintained. There was Poison Ivy all around the outside of the site, beyond the wooden timber boundaries, but not inside the pad area. Good trees for hammocks. Site was nice and shaded.
We enjoyed hiking down to the falls and taking a swim. Kids really enjoyed it. We also did the Grundy Forest loop, which was awesome. Highly recommend for a family friendly hike.
Great location for a base camp to explore the rest of the area!
We got lucky with a last minute cancellation and booked site 45. It’s an awesome site with privacy, and one of the better sites in the entire campground. There are steps leading down to the trail around the lake. We were there July 4th and the trail around the lake is lightly used, so the occasional traffic didn’t bother us, plus there’s heavy foliage. There is also a trail nearby to the platform camping, so you occasionally see those campers, but didn’t bother us. There were great trees for hanging hammocks.
We were in a truck camper and didn’t use the restrooms, although it’s just a short walk.
This site is on the “edge” of the campground and there are active bears. We saw two during our stay on the site. They were just passing through, but just something to be aware of.
