Poplar Grove Youth Group Campground

The reservation system does not mention this fact... In the winter time, no water is available. You need to pack in your own water.

Outside of that, it was a good weekend. Plenty of firewood, good campsites, and good latrines.

Excellent experience. Beautiful location.

We had a large group of children and the Rangers were able to put together a program just for our group. The tenting area is massive — plenty of space for our group of 32. The fire pit at C was a little muddy but at A was in great shape. The woodshed is a nice touch too.

It's a very private campground since it's for youth groups only. It's laid out nicely with 2 bath houses, pavillion, fire pit, 3 seperate tent camping areas, a wood shed and plenty of space.

The stay at camp went fine; however, I'm a bit bothered by the tenor of the park ranger who approached us shortly after our arrival - he very quickly used the term "violations" regarding our presence at the site. We had apparently put our tents up where they weren't allowed; however, the permitted locations were not entirely clear from the graphic on the board at the site, and another group who had already been at the same site had made the same mistake. I'd like to ask that the park personnel be a bit more thoughtful with their language, and I would also suggest that if 2 groups independently made the same mistake, then the posted rules aren't clear enough - it would be quite simple and helpful to say "Do not pitch tents on the grass."

Poplar Grove Youth Camping site was a fun and challenging campout during winter. It is about 1 mile away from parking during the winter when the road is closed, makes this a hike in event. The campsite was well setup and maintained by the park service with plenty of firewood and tent area for the entire crew. Wonderful event, very remote and quite.

Wonderful campsite!

Our troop had 2 of the campsites, one for the younger scouts and one for the crews that hiked in. We have come to truly enjoy this site as it provides a great natural setting and opportunity to teach the scouts many of the skills needed. Well kept.
