White Pines Campground is a backcountry campground, with a restroom and a fire ring. This 60 acre greenspace is mostly undeveloped, offering only parking at the main entrance and a single trail through the forest. When the original 20 acres of the park were acquired in 1927, they contained one of the few remaining pure stands of white pines in the county. The park has since been managed with the goal of preserving this stand and enhancing it with plantings of new white pine seedlings.
Great lunch with the family. Bugs were not bad. I cleaned the caterpillars out of one of the bathrooms! Busy day on the river. Everyone was friendly.
On the river access is good. Finding by vehicle is near impossible. I could not locate it via road so I don't suggest any RVs coming back as it is a tight two-track to get there and all I saw was a gate. From the river though it's perfect for an overnight stop with a big or small group.
Well maintained campground, space for probably a hundred tents or more. Nice landing for the boat. Easy ramp up off the river. The toilets were extremely smelly but I think that is to be expected, I was just glad they were there. The ground I put my tent on was level and very nice for a tent. We brought our own firewood so I did not see if there was any to be found on the ground. The woods were pretty around the campground.
