Beautiful scenery, great hiking trails, plenty of water for fishing and kayak. Campsites are pretty far apart so you and your neighbor aren't ten feet apart, BIG sites with raised tent areas, plenty of room for more than one tent. Also group sites are available for multiple families or groups. Fresh water on premises but you need to stock up before u go back to your site, also toilets on premises. Last but not least, canoe rentals. I've been going since I was small, it's a great place for all seasons.

Loved coming here! My son rented his kayak here, I brought my own kayak. They didn't say anything about it. Which I thought was really nice. My son left his in another state so we came here for the afternoon so he could rent one. The staff were very polite. Even their porta potties were okay lol Definitey coming back

We live right down the road in montague so it was convenient. Once arriving, our campsite was easy to find and the neighboring campers were quiet and respectful. The people in the main office were also very kind and extremely helpful. Me and my wife have decided to go here for now on when camping is in our hearts. FYI: no mosquitos at all. But a lot of spiders

We stayed for 1 night on site 31. The site was huge, we had a camper van and a large tent, with plenty of space for chairs around the fire. The site next to us (30) was closed due to Covid spacing, so it was like we had the place to ourselves. Our site was just outside of the gate others have mentioned as being a hassle, so we lucked out, but it only seemed to be hassle if you needed it go in and out of the site frequently. All the sites seemed clean, and there was tons of sticks and branches close by for gathering firewood. Only visited the outhouse once and it was fine. No bad smells and it wasn’t dirty. I highly recommend this campsite and I look forward to returning.

Great campground. Bring your own water in, the only spicket is at the entrance. Sites are large and not very close together. No swimming at your site as all are well above the river.
