As expected, Pokegama is a well maintained campground. Only negative is some noise from the nearby US 2, however it quieted down as darkness fell. Very nice woods trail on the far side of the dam. This was our second stay and we will stay again if our travels take us near here.

We arrived on Sunday and the campground was pretty quiet. We noticed immediately that we did not need a code for the showers/bathrooms and there did not appear to be a campground host in the park. This wasn't a huge problem until Monday morning I went to take a shower and a woman with dogs walked out of the bathroom. It was obvious that there were many people using the bathrooms and showers and they were not staying at the campground. Overall this is a nice campground in spite of non-campers using the facilities and the noisy highway and train.
