About

The campground is located near the entrance to Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest. The main portion of the campground is closed indefinitely due to a water system issue. The lower 6 sites are open year-round. These sites are primitive with access to a vault toilet, but no running water. There is a creek nearby.
