What a great place to spend some time and get back to nature. The land was beautiful and well maintained. The Lake side camping spot we stayed at was just awesome, great view and no artificial lighting at all. The sites caretaker had the area ready for us with firewood we ordered delivered and stacked by the fire ring. We enjoyed the hiking trail and fishing.

While maps may not take you exactly there it gets you close enough and the red gate is clearly marked. Plenty of room to roam nice and peaceful place to kick back and relax.

I really enjoyed myself along with my son, Chris, the ground keeper was very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this campsite Lake Shore at Camp Strong Wood. Will be returning soon.
