Couldn’t be better!

First real hot day of the season. Did a solo trip ,Paid 20 for day and overnight parking at Milford beach. Paddle about 4 miles to the site 12, the first site on the right side of nomanock island.

The site was super clean and well maintained!

I saw 2 other campers at 13, pretty well distance between sites. I was a bit nervous about collecting fire wood being the place was so clean but collected enough. Definitely would stop at one of the many places along the way to buy fire wood.

Lots of peace and natural all around. Saw tons of bald eagles flying near the site and while paddles birds playing and baby geese with their mommas!

Tried to find, sites 1- 11 but no luck

Very buggy spot, LOTS of centipedes and other creatures at night, so bring a chair instead of sitting on the bench or log.

I also thought it would a good idea to paddle down stream and back up to Milford beach, Boy was I wrong! Took about 4.5 hours to paddle 3 miles then had to wave down a boat to tow me the rest of the mile. Was not fun!!!!
