Quiet, wooded, SPACIOUS sites

We stayed here October 6-9 2021 as our third trip to this campground.

Site #44 is HUGELY HUGE. Seriously, you could put down three tents and a couple of campers and not feel crowded.

It's got three fire opportunities:

- Normal fire ring with adjustable grate for cooking.

- "Box on a post" style charcoal cooking device with an adjustable grate for cooking.

- BIG rock fire ring up off the dirt with a nonadjustable (bent-to-bits) grill

One of the places to setup a tent was sandy and flat. The other one had some pretty serious rocks sticking out, so we didn't use that one.

It's a bit of a hike to the bathrooms/showers/dishwashing station from this site, but we like it like that. It keeps the noise down from the slamming bathroom doors.

FREE hot showers! Only two showers for the whole camp, but there's almost no one camping in October, so there was never a wait.

Hot-water LARGE stainless-steel sing for dishwashing. NICE.

There might be bears, so there's a bear box to store all your stuff in when you are not using it. They do run dogs through the campground once a week or so to scare the poor critters away, but they say they have never had an issue in the last fifteen years, so I had zero concern about bears.

Hiking is pretty awesome from the campsite.

The hike from site 44 to the fire tower is only 0.6 miles and gets you a great view.
Hike back via the Long Trail and it's 1.6 Miles back.

Bobcat trail to the beaver dam is a great hike, but the dam is not really anything much to see, so just enjoy the hiking.
