Awesome place, the swimming is fantastic, and there's lots of wildlife, probably great fishing holes... unfortunately there's a lot of poison ivy everywhere, and the rangers don't do a good job of keeping the bathrooms clean, or enforcing the quiet hours, and no alcohol rules.

Such a beautiful place to stay... gorgeous trails around the glacial ponds as well as paved bike paths. Facilities were as clean as can be expected from a campground with continually opening doors. People at the shop are so friendly... I do think based on reading reviews and an interaction we witnessed that the park staff is leary of late teens early 20's individuals (and I can imagine its not without reason) but are otherwise very nice. Both times we have been quiet hours have been pretty closely adhered to which was also nice.
