Quiet camping at a beautiful lake in Northern Mass. We camped here on site 7 over Memorial Day weekend. This state forest was booked up though you would hardly have known it. It was so quiet! Most sites were far apart from each other, with a fair walk to the nearest toilet. Toilets are either porta potties or composting toilets without water. They are very clean however! There is large bathroom with showers and sinks past site 17, and a bathroom with changing rooms at the lake (entrance to the campground). Showers required quarters (about 50-75 cents for a decent shower) so bring yours or get them at the contact station.

Dry, cured firewood is available also at the contact station for $5 a bundle. Or forage for your own in the woods!

The sites are sandy and easy to stake tents into. We brought a pop-up and had some trouble leveling it on our site as the campground sits on the side of a hill.

We usually bring bikes, but this campground was not very bike-friendly. The Camp Road from the lake started with a very steep hill.

If you want to camp with another group, I'd recommend calling ahead to ask which sites are near each other. The map does not accurately reflect the proximity of sites to each other. Sites and 8 and 9 are adjacent.

The highlight of this campground is the BEAUTIFUL lake for swimming, which was cold in May, but we still enjoyed. Overall the campground is VERY clean, well attended with some recreational activities posted by the small Nature Center near the showers.

I am taking away one star as the hills, and the distance between sites and bathrooms and the poor maps makes it hard to understand how to book and plan for visiting this state forest. But overall a nice weekend.
