Overall Rating | 3 FDL | |
Type of Site | Leanto Site | |
Easy to find? | Absolutely not | The easiest way to get to it is along swamp pond road, if the gate is open. You will pass a whole bunch of weird characters along this road. I think I have seen some of them in the movie "Deliverance". Ask the ranger for help. |
Capacity | 3 Leantos | Leantos sleep 4 big fat scouters, judge for your own unit. |
Can you drive to it? | Yes, one way or the other | Either from Swamp Pond road or through Family camp you can get to it. |
Water | There is a pump across the road called Cold Spring. | I have pumped until my arm is swollen, and have not been able to get water from it. Others swear that it still works. |
Latrine | None | It is a nice site every other way. Bring a trowel. |
Biggest Advantage | It is secluded | It is a very pretty area, good for low impact camping. Right on the shore of a pond where a family of beavers live. We use this spot as our base camp when doing back packing trips. |
Secondary Advantage | It is right near the Red Dot Trail, in a very interesting part of the reservation | If you know where you are going, you can go anywhere from here. |
Primary Disadvantage | No Latrine | No Latrine, what more can I say??? |
Secondary disadvantage | It is a bit far out to get to | It can be tough if you don't know where you're going. |
