Paw Paw Tunnel Campground

Reserved on recreation.org. Barely above a KOA. Just an empty field with 16 or so campsites each with a a table and a fire ring. No separation, no privacy and right off a main road with a lot of truck noise including a lot of exhaust braking. If I didn't arrive so late I probably would have left to find someplace else. Good thing is it's got a nice trail to hike and walk through the Paw Paw tunnel.

Wear good shoes and bring a flashlight! Beautiful views on the other end... However at the moment you can't go any further the tow path is closed but still worth the walk!! The walkway is very uneven so use caution.

Beautiful scenery,informative and just an all around nice quiet place to visit. The signs they have on the history are really cool and worth taking the time to read. We downloaded(or texted I can't recall.)the app.(it's given on a couple different signs.) It was worth doing. The tunnel is worth walking thru and checking it out. It's amazing that they were able 2 build it using the man power and tools they had back then.The architecture is outstanding.Make sure u take a flashlight,wear your walking shoes and bring a light jacket if u are going in the Summer months.(it is cooler due 2 the plant life & shade.) We saw a bunch of wildlife on our walk to the tunnel. I think every inch of the toepath is beautiful. To think that donkeys use 2 pull boats down it and the amount of ppl that have walked the same path u are for 100+ yrs.is so neat.

Small primitive campground with well water and outhouse. Nice short hike to the tunnel.

Great place to have a picnic after hiking through or over the Paw Paw Tunnel.
