Wow, Cranberry bog! Can’t get more local/regional then that and you don’t need any more reason then that to visit. No charge to just walk or bike the trails. 6 mile loop (and mostly flat) is perfect for a good stretch of the legs. Points off for the lack of signage along the trails. Struggled a bit to stay on the right path.

TLDR: Nice, well run,mostly peaceful place to camp. Restrooms (includes showers) are newish, and cleaned daily. Warning: cleaning happens around 9am when YOU want to use the facilities. Restrooms include a third "family" restroom. Campsites vary drastically in character but all have a fire ring and a picnic table. Some are right on the road, some are back away in the woods and more private. The weird thing about this campground: The general public just strolls through. Locals use it as their exercise loop. As soon as it's light out, here come the moms with the strollers, dudebros loudly discussing football and stock prices, etc. And the bicyclists. And the guys on e-bikes, which are really just motorcycles because riding them requires ZERO effort. None of these people belong in a campground where maybe I'm trying to sleep in a little this morning. Where I climb out of my tent groggy and unkempt and stumble to the Coleman stove to make coffee. Where I've paid to camp and where visitors are specifically not allowed. As far as I can tell, if my girlfriend rides into the campground in the passenger seat of my car, she's not allowed BUT if she walks in pushing a stroller with a build‐a-bear snuggled up in it, that's fine. This is weird and a bit off-putting. Also, there are a couple of extremely aggressive raccoons, so make sure you put your food away at night and don't encourage them

Awesome hiking trails! We customize based on how much time we have to spend hiking. We've done as few as 5 miles and as much as 11 miles in one day. Beautiful views. Be prepared for mud in spring and summer and you'll be just fine.
