Bath house was very clean, as was the whole camping area. Only wish there were sewage hookups, but maintenance was excellent.

Enjoyed the laid back relaxation of being able to do nothing in a peaceful atmosphere or go on leisurely hike to see the waterfalls and enjoy the excellent trout fishing all at one campground

Peaceful with the sounds of nature everywhere. Couldn't ask for a more natural environment to enjoy the peace and tranquility of it all.

I had a wonderful time at JFK campgrounds. I would have rated it with five stars but I didn’t because the water was always high and I couldn’t fish.
