Lovely location for visiting Whittier. Sites were wooded and fairly private, limited generator use.

Campsite #42: The campsite is nicely nestled in the trees and secluded from the site immediately to the west. The site pad is paved with a picnic table and fire pit. One side of the classic bench-style picnic table has the center portion of the bench removed, so "the chef" can stand close to the surface of the table and yet there is seating on either side - very clever!
It was raining heavily on my campsite reservation day. The site slopes to the southeast, so the fire pit area was surrounded by water 2" deep. That was a deal-breaker for me . . . I bugged out after hanging out for 3 hours hoping for a break in the weather. I was Jeep-camping but didn't break out the tailgate tent, due to the heavy rain and waders needed to enjoy the fire pit.
I will definitely return! Lovely site in the woods, in beautiful Portage Valley.

Nice campground and bathrooms, clean; many have nice trees between sites so you have a little privacy. Love having trails so close by and from campground. Road traffic noise is not so great on the side nearest the road. And wish fewer people using loud generators at night and morning. Wish there could be one side of campground for people using generators and other side for people without.
