Experienced hikers should consider pitching a tent at Meadowbrook campground. About 4 miles from town, the grounds are right next to the Scarface trailhead and close to the Haystack Mountain trail. If you prefer to camp closer to town, check out the private campgrounds and camping cabins. These are also your best bets for creature comforts like wifi, as well as electrical hook-ups for RVs.
