Beautiful lake for kayaking. Very peaceful. However, there are thousands of ticks. Found 20+ ticks on my dog.

As a man who grew up free camping in this area before the camps were set up, there is no spot like this on earth if you know what is around and can drive on old fire roads and dirt bike trails!

Not for everyone, but if you want great solitude and walks with nature, this is your place.

This is a true gem if you are looking for a quiet place to camp! At night there was no noise but the sounds from the forest. It got really dark as well and peaceful, it made for a great night's sleep! This is a nature lovers paradise with a lot to walk and hike around. The campsites are really cheap, just 3 dollars for a jersey resident and only 6 for non residents! It is "primitive" camping so that means no electric or wifi, a pit toilet is on-site and bring bug spray. There is a water pump which is potable but best to bring your own and toilet paper. All in all this is just a perfect place to get away from it all!
