Pros: we camped in almost complete isolation, except for the camp hosts in their "permanent" lodging barely visible through the trees. The location was quiet and offered nice lake views after a short tramp through the woods.
Cons: we had a difficult time finding the campground due to its remote location, and also because the posted directions called for the forest road to be 24 miles West from Rt 13, when it was in fact 19 Miles. The sign identifying the road was also tiny and very easy to miss. Luckily, the local bartender was able to give good directions. Also, there was a power hook-up present, but not switched on, which I thought our $25 fee covered.
Note: the location of the forest road is 19 Miles West of Rt 13 and 5 Miles East of Rt M. Keep your eyes out for a Forest Service Campground sign. "Chippewa" does not appear on the sign!!

This is our second visit to this campground. We find it a rather quiet campground, we hear the fishing is good, but we don't fish. We go for the peace and quiet.
