Perfect for the quiet getaway. My husband and I came here for Independence day to escape the crowds and noise. This campground has a fire ring and bench, no tent pad but plenty of flat places for setup. There are 10 or 11 sites, all first come first served, and one of the nicest pit toilets I've ever come across. There is a water pump, but you want to bring your own drinking water.
This is an amazing campground, very much “out of the way” and with very little traffic in the area. The campground is perched high above a little lake that is commonly visited by moose, and offers 11 different spots of varying views and levels of seclusion. Most spots offer half-moon pass-through parking spots, some able to hold large or multiple vehicles. Each site has a picnic table, fire ring and at least one graded tent pad (ours had ample room for two tents). There is a clean vault toilet restroom in the middle of the campground, and while there is no power or running water, the bathrooms do have hand sanitizer dispensers. There is ‘potable’ water in the campground available from a hand pump drawing out of a well, but the water that came out was a deep yellow in color and ended up leaving a yellow sediment behind on our water vessels that had to be washed out with soap and water. I’m not sure what the deal is with the water, but we only used it for washing hands and whatnot. *BE SURE TO BRING YOUR OWN DRINKING WATER*
