A field surrounded by wooded area. The campsites are areas that are mowed and with mowed paths. You can hammock camp as long as there are trees nearby. You're better odds are tent camping. In a clear night you can see all the stars in the sky. And during the summer time you can see the flashing lights of fireflies in sync. Sadly the only source of water in the camp is a manual hand pump. If properly filtered it could be drinkable but not recommended. Best used for cleaning. Mosquitoes and deer flies are extremely desperate for food in this area. No repellent seems to stop them. The distance from the visitor center (2.4 miles) is an easy hike. But if you are leaving from the parking lot at Little Bay I recommend biking (10 miles). During the summer time is ungodly hot trying to get through back Bay.
I stayed at campsite 8 which was in the same area but closer to the beach. It was beautiful. Perfect weather. It truly seemed to be untouched. Almost all the trails were service roads however. The illusion of being out in the middle of nowhere was dispelled by trucks driving 20ft from camp a couple times a day. Bring lots of water as there is no easy access to drinking water, though there is a well with a pump if you have a filter. Will absolutely be going again.
Boring campsites located on a fairly unattractive meadow, and Poison Ivy vines crawl up all the trees. The location was so unattractive for me that I ultimately decided to just make my hike a day trip and left. Interesting and beautiful park nonetheless - just be sure to get campsite that is not 10-12.
Beautiful campground. Serene low impact camping.
