Having a shelter made the difference between this trip being good and being miserable.
Beautiful area even in the rain.

When we arrived, there was a family reunion happening, and cars were parked everywhere. After the initial attempt to park our camper in our reserved spot, the camp host moved us to another spot that was very nice. The hosts were very nice and helpful!

I stayed at site #11. It was my first time sleeping in an Adirondack style shelter. I set up a cot and used a modular sleep system for the night. It dipped into the low 50s but I was plenty warm and I had a nice view of the fire from my sleeping bag. I could also enjoy seeing the moon through the trees and the sun shining through the next day.
The campground and campsites were in great condition and the host family were very friendly.
I took advantage of hiking in the Hearts Content Scenic Area. The trail there was well maintained and traveled through some very impressive old growth forest. I also took advantage of hiking some of the North Country Trail located near by. There are other trails in and around the campground so I would consider this a hikers paradise as well.
If your looking for a quiet get away I would definitely suggest you visit the Hearts Content Campground.
