Nice quiet site the day after new years. Only one car parked at the trailhead. Had site #20 with the old fireplace. Saw some wild cat prints in the fresh snow. Overall a nice place but not for $16.50 TBH. Especially in the winter when no one is around & facilities are quite a drive away.

Masten trailhead is a perfect place to start The Old Loggers Trail. There’s also state forest campsites nearby at the Masten Camping Area. I drove up Friday night and reserved a spot to camp: then did a two day counterclockwise loop of the OLP. I never had to move may car. This is a very rural spot. Gravel roads for the last few miles.

My dad and I used to camp by the chimney every year. Sadly every year we had to come and clean the chimney out because it was full of garbage.
