Amazing sights, I get a thrill for steep and tricky climbs so I was very happy! Prepare to use your hands and knees sometimes. Little cell service in the park unless you are up high on the mountain. Have a flashlight, print a trail map beforehand (no physical maps available anymore). Blue trail is no joke. Next year we’ll aim to finish it!
Absolutely loved camping here!
We stayed at campsites 46 and 47 — peaceful, secluded spots despite the road running in front of them. Surprisingly, it remained quiet and serene throughout.
Important heads-up: black bears are active in the area!
We had one wander right up to our picnic table in broad daylight. Make sure not to leave any food out. A bear horn and a quick honk from your car should help scare them off if needed.
There’s a beautiful brook running alongside the campsites, which made the whole experience feel even more tranquil and relaxing. Compared to other state parks, this one feels much more remote and peaceful — a real hidden gem.
Just a note: there’s zero cell service, so be sure to download offline maps and any hiking trail info in advance.
Hope you enjoy your time here as much as we did!
Found a nice secluded campsite on a rainy weekend where it was pretty empty. Not a whole lot to do in the area but its quiet, pretty and theres nice hikes.
Beautiful camp site. We booked #38 or #19 I forgot. It’s one of those carry in one and the well doesn’t work. We had to drive to another well to get water. It’s not that bad.
Surprising there isn’t much mosquito but a lot of inch worm. Spending two night the max I would do since there isn’t a shower or decent toilet.
It’s peaceful and the campsites are evenly spaced out. I would suggest to dress long pants and shirt.
