Kid friendly

Site 38 backs up to the new playground This was one of the largest sites We absolutely loved it, easy to see kids at the park and still enjoy the campsite.

Make sure to check with ranger katie she offered events for the kids to attend, almost daily.

Electric only Fill up with water before entering the campground Dump station near entrance

Bathhouse was nice and cleaned often.

Boat launch near entrance had a dock with picnic table, beautiful view and good fishing spot.

General store to the left when you exit the campground

Back in town about 20 minute drive they had a grocery store Pats and dollar general. This is the nearest gas station, make sure you are full before exploring the parks.

Easy trails: Lake of the clouds - 5 minute drive Summit peak- 15 minute drive Presque isle - 25 minute drive ( three waterfall options here)

All had a lot of stairs but worth it Our 5 and 3 year old did ok, we did end up putting the 3 year old in a carrier.

Water front sites are beautiful but all rocks, when you turn left out of the campground and head towards town there are several pull offs for beach access :)

Sprint service was ok, hit and miss

Flys were not bad when it was windy, little annoying some nights but we kept a fan running under the awning and it seemed to solve the issue.

We went end of August
