Awesome place. Maintained very well, with very tidy campsites. Some of them are a little close to each other, but not all. Plenty of hiking, fishing, and kayaking opportunities around.

Been going here since I was born. Been taking my kid there since he was born. Amazing place. Quiet for the most part.

Beautiful lake, but if you want a quiet spot don't go here on a weekend. Right on top of a bunch of dirt bike trails, so folks with huge trailers show up at all hours of the night and unload (without any regard to how much noise they're making). Lovely site, terrible neighbors!

Yes, open. Keep your stuff under wraps! Last weekend our group of seven camp sites had four coolers stolen.

Is the water from the well there tested?

Being a State Forezt campground I would say that the forest service would have it tested on a regular basis. Our family has been camping in that state gorezt for years, whetjer in that particular campground or one of the other ones with no problems or adverse affects. Many time with small children and babies.

Is this used for off road atv and motor cycle camping? I believe there are some trail heads close by.

No ORVs allowed. No ORV trails. It is a rustic campground. There are certain areas in that County they are not allowed, this is one. Check the County/DNR website.
