Spacious, level camping well-suited for travel trailers over 40 ft long.

The area provides opportunities to hike, snowshoe, cross-country ski, horseback ride, mountain bike and enjoy the National Forests.

This is a nice place to camp. It is very quiet with lots of pretty scenery. It is directly across from Hungerford Recreation Area that has lots of trails to go on. Having electricity and water out in the middle of the woods was a bonus. It even has a heated outdoor shower. This was easy enough for a 30ft class C to get in and out of. There was also picnic tables and a good supply of firewood with a large central fire pit. It would be a great place for a group to camp. The owner was very helpful with directions. We plan on camping there again.

Awesome spot for family camp
Steve gave us perfect directions to get to the place and answered all my questions. The place is perfect for family gatherings! There’s electric and water and a central fire pit. There was plenty of wood we could use too! It’s super quiet and you get a great view of the stars at night. And the trailhead into the National Forest is super close. We had a beautiful hike before we left.

Remote with wilderness
The site was remote, but still had water and electricity hookups-even an outdoor shower with hot water which was lovely. Many two tracks throughout the property to hike. We saw lots of wildlife, including a small black bear 500 ft from the site! Steven was very helpful and met us there to show us around. Only con was that the road getting back there does have some questionable spots for cars without 4wd. I would check the condition with Steven before you go. Overall, it would be a great spot for a large group of friends to camp. We’ll be back!

Remote with lots of wildlife
The property was very remote but still had amenities like water and electricity. Even had an outdoor shower (with hot water!) that was very pleasant. We saw tons of wildlife-even a small black bear about 500 ft from our site! Lots of two tracks to hike and see many different landscapes-meadows, pine forest, etc. Only cons was that there was a lot of trash around the site. Steven picked up a lot of it upon our arrival and we continued to pick up pieces as we came across them. Also, the road/two track to get back there had a few spots that were questionable when pulling our trailer so just check with Steven first depending on what you’re pulling. A car without 4wd might have a difficult time. Overall, this would be a great spot for a big group of friends to enjoy camping together. We’ll book again!
