Good for kids
Gorgeous scenery and perfect for paddling. A good place to visit for a day or to camp with family or friends. But if you are looking for a quiet, remote wilderness experience , not so great. Rte. 27 is less than a quarter mile away and trucks noisily engine-brake regularly, as well as motorcycles roaring by. And since it’s a free, non-reservable campsite, cars drive into your campsite several times a day to see if it’s available. I’m glad I went but probably won’t go back.
