We stayed in the campground for an extended weekend. Sites were large and relatively flat. Each site has a grill and fire pit. The fire pits could also double as a grill as they have a grate over top. Campgrounds are close to a few trails if you're wanting to hike. There are several towns nearby if you're wanting to go out. Salem isn't too far either, so if you're looking to visit there, it's an easy drive in.

Stayed here for four nights in May 2024. The campground is very clean, the staff are very attentive to guests needs. The bathrooms are cleaned daily, some bathrooms are newer and some old, but all clean and have showers. Dog friendly and very quiet and peaceful. Campfires need to be put out by midnight. The park rangers do drive around from time to time. Would stay here again. The only thing is no water hookups but there are plenty of bathrooms located throughout the campground. They do have small playground which looks new. They do have a small pond but you can’t swim in it. Bring a book!

I just happened to drive by, noticing the small bodies of water on either side of the road. Where I stopped didn't have a lot of parking, but I was lucky to get a spot next to two other vehicles. The area seemed to fit four comfortably. Across from where I parked is a map of the area and in that immediate location seemed to be ongoing construction. The map showed a two mile hike called "the friends loop." I began the trail just past where my vehicle was parked. It's an easy trail that takes you along the edges of Collins Pond and Brackett Pond, beautiful the whole way. When I went it was the day after a heavy rain so some of the trail was soggy and some streams overtook the planks that would help you cross so there's some navigating and leaping along the way. The park seems huge, happy to come again and see the rest.
