Beautiful National Forest. Plenty of campsites, although we were the only ones there. Needs a little TLC in the outhouses. Not sure the electric worked. At primitive sites water not working.

We had rented the house in the Markham spring park early June 2021. It was a mixed bag experience. We loved the setting of the house on top of the lake. Hiking trail started basically from the house. It was a good hike up and then gradual down slope with finishing walk by the Black River. There had been lots of leaves so view of river was obstruct but you can find a few windows for sure. We got accustomed for higher quality AirB&B rental so house and equipment was pretty poor. One of the kids fall asleep on a couch just to wake up with sentipeedes crolling over him, his words "I had woke up in the horror house". Grill next to the house was broken so we walked over to camp pavilion to use large grill over there, it worked out well as pavilion was not used. Overall rating is 3 great location with house setup leaving a lot to be desired.

Markham Spring was a lovely little stop for a walk and to enjoy the crystal-clear spring water. There are camping and picnic areas all around for a stop or to have lunch. My only complaint was there was not a trash can available.

The last time I went everything was open but the very last gate pasted the pond. I was there in the early afternoon. Everything else was open.

If you go right across the street from the turn off for Markham springs, there is a very small parking lot you can walk down to the river and swim right there.
