Peaceful, remote but easy to get to!

We spent two wonderful mid-week nights in our 25' converted shuttle bus.  We stayed in site 32 (no hookups}.  It was a grassy site surrounded by trees and brush, so pretty private.  It was not on the lake, there are about 7 RV sites right on the lake with full hookups which are great but they do not have the privacy of 32.

The staff was great, cheerful and helpful.  Like everyone else, they are short staffed this year so they had to cut out the canoe/kayak rentals.  The woman at the desk/shop gave us two names to call for kayak rentals,  I called North Country Paddle (603-538-6565) and they were very helpful and we had two kayaks delivered within 40 minutes.

The camp store had very limited supplies, but did have ice, firewood, t-shirts, sweatshirts and candy bars.

There is a store -  Young's General Store less than 3 miles away that says they "have pretty much everything".  We didn't need anything so we didn't stop in, but it looked like a place that would have what you'd need while camping.

Bathrooms and showers are fairly new and well maintained.  Hot showers are $0.25/3 minutes.  I must say that I've never had a shower that felt like I was being power washed ;-)  Great water pressure!

If you are into ATV'ing, this is a great area for that as there is a large trail network and there is a large outfitter - Bear Rock Adventures- which rents ATVs less than 4 miles from the campground.  Some of the camp sites are accessible by ATVs.

Overall, a nice place to be!
