We were able to get our favorite camping spot! The campground host was very friendly. The toilets were always clean and stocked! Bring mosquito nets. I used Irish spring soap by our door of the RV to help
Keep mosquitos bearable. We also have a gazebo that is very easy to put up, so sat in there to read later in the day.
Fill your RV tank at Gooseberry Falls before going up to the lake. Otherwise it will take forever to fill from the pump. Can empty tanks in Silver bay at the municipal site.
Bring extra bottles for drinking water from the pump.
PS. Can get some Verizon service at campsite #7 by the water

What beauty! The site was just as I remembered, but with a fall colors veil. We were delighted by the presence of three otters volleying a caught fish, and of course the loons were singing. We will be back!

Campground host was very helpful. Sites well maintained. Bathrooms always clean and well supplied. Drinking water was clean with no bad taste or color.
Only concern was that the map of the campground showed a hiking trail that appeared to be overgrown and not maintained. This is the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars.
Definitely coming back!

Gorgeous views from our campsite. A little weird, as the picnic table was on one side of the camper and the fire ring was on the other. Pleasant camp host (Jack). Would go again in a minute.
