Great campground FF located right next to the river for $18 per night. Only 4 sites available so get there early. There is a fire pit and bathroom (the con is that the bathroom is basically public, tons of car come to use it at all hours). We got some good size trouts walking around 2 miles on the gorgeous trail and we were so lucky to see a moose too!

Too small so could not give more stars and very strict about day visiting. I was only passing by and needed a place to rest for few hours. Didn't get dark until 8pm but was so so cold in June so loved the fire pit. Really need more generous rules for off season when no one is around camping

4 campsites, pit toilets, stream runs next to site. Follow the stream upstream 80 steps to huge boulders and small waterfalls. There is a beach area 30 ft wide with nice sand. Big sites with enough room for 3 tents and parking. Picnic tables and fire rings with grate. $18 a night

Small campground (4 sites) but well maintained and a good location for many great trails. A little close to the road so you'll have road noise all through the night but still not bad if you are lucky to snag a spot on a weekend.
