Hooks Brook Campground

Nice secluded campground.

NO FRESH WATER AT CAMPGROUND! The well is capped off. My second stop of my week of canoe camping, found better developed sites, that were level and properly trenched for rain runoff. However, many sites, particularly the ones nearest the outer limits of the campground, were badly neglected, picnic tables rotted beyond use, and fire rings, from years of ground erosion, suspended high above the ground, making them useless for cooking on. Apparently, Hooks Brook is the campground city folk come to stay. Many noisy people blaring radios, dogs running loose, firecrackers. Again, I stayed at the farthest fringe site that wasn't dilapidated, to avoiding the noise, but it didn't stop their dog from coming into my camp and nosing through my gear. Also, seems people don't leave firewood for others, like you commonly see in the BWCA, so I processed and left some for the next person.

Can only be realistically accessed by kayak or hiking to. Its rarely used and rarely maintained, but it does have a restroom and firepits.
