Perfect place for a weekend getaway. Just show up, sign the registry, pick your site and set up your tent or camper. The only downside is that the well at the entrance to the camping area seemed to have run dry.
This was our second free camping site in New York and it didn't fail to uphold the gold standard for free campgrounds here. There are nine good sites here with 2 well maintained potro potties. As an end to our trip the weather decided not to hold out anymore and it rained again. We were able to get the tent setup between the downpours but the fire had to be started in the dark. With rivers running through our campsite we set out to enjoy our last night, the weather would not get us down! The temperature also decided to drop from lows in the 60s to a low of 34 that night. Once we had the fire going and made dinner, we enjoyed ourselves by listening to music and singing and dancing by the fire. Nature enjoyed our revelry and the clouds parted and we had a beautiful view of the moon and the stars. We have some experience with camping in the cold and were well prepared with blankets and sleeping bags which had us nice and warm all night. In the morning we slowly packed up discussing the next time we could try this camping ground.
Nice campground. Had clean facilities. Only downside was had some inconsiderate neighbor's that were up all night playing music and carrying on.
Great place to camp. Real clean! Definitely going back.
The roads are very well maintained, and the trail access is very good. It was pretty quiet, and seemed like a nice place if you're looking for a rough camping experience. They do have portable toilets, and a water pump wheel should you need water. If you're looking for amenities this isn't the camping area for you, but if you want a really northern woods camping experience this looks like a great place. You could see an assortment of animals including deer, raccoons, and wild fox.
