The campground was nice. The bathrooms could have been cleaner. The trails weren't really clear, but it was a nice stay. We'll be back.

Camp hosts were very friendly and informative. Campsites are well spaced and well maintained (site 21). Restrooms were clean and maintained. We were very surprised at the lack of mosquitos, which was a definite plus sitting out at night.
Went swimming and had a cookout at Quaddick State Park.
Next time we will be taking our kayak.
Overall it was a great stay and campground.
