Great access to Cooke Pond. On my wish list for the Sawmill campground: pump that would provide access to clean drinking water. Would be willing to pay higher camping fee for this addition.

Make sure you get there before the local ranger station close. There was someone in our site refusing to leave. There is no after hours number to call if there is an issue. We called the reservation phone number but they were not able to help. We called every number we could find but there was no answer at any. We left messages but only one called back, four days later, and said they could not do anything and contact the local ranger station. The site was great but this really was frustrating.

This place is amazing. Firepit with grill cover and typically some stumps left around to sit on
