It’s close to Capitol Reef NP, Torrey & fuel. Night Sky telescope available, bikes for kids, clean bathrooms and traveled RV sites. But I was pleased to meet the owner who came and greeted me at my site, chatting and said to call if I needed anything. Close to Scenic Byway 12 too. Stayed 2 nights.

This park is a wilderness jewel! If you cycle, the paved forest road to the campground is a roll-curvy jewel through Porcupine Wilderness area. You’ll feel like your 12 yrs old again while riding it. North Country Trail hiking trail cuts through the park and a 1 mile hike around Bass Lake would be perfect for kids. Don’t forget 3 swimming beaches! Hint: you can reserve sites through www.recreation.gov but many of the best sites are first come, first served. Only about 10% occupied this weekend but many sites reserved for Memorial Day.I’m here on 5/22 and yesterday was 80 with a gorgeous evening sun & this morning is a wet 42 degrees. No ticks or mosquitos today! Level sites, each with canopy openings and comfortable distances between sites.

A small NFS campground on a small lake. Good for afternoon sun and hiking on the North Country Trail. I camped in early May, before ticks, mosquitos & gnats got going. Locals say mosquitos are tough in summer due to marshy area nearby. Not to far from Mellen or other access points on the NCT.
