Site was not as expected from the description or pictures. Difficult to utilize with my truck camper and utility trailer. Pit toilets nearly unusable. Dirty and horrible fly problem. Good base for exploring with the SxS.

Beautiful campsite. Within walking distance to Deerfield lake and a view of it from some of the campsites. Well maintained and cared for. Best part was there were no bugs at any point of our trip

Great sites, lots of shade. Not a lot of bugs when we visited the second week of July. Camp host Curtis is awesome, will deliver firewood to your site.
