Stopped here for 1 night as we traveled east. This is a beautiful remote campground.

There was a reservation sign at the site with our name which was very helpful. Site 15 was well laid out with the picnic table close enough to the firepit for warmth, and the tent site was a grassy patch underneath tree branches. It helped shield the tent when the storm came through at 3am. Sorry not to have seen Grout pond itself, but enjoyed the 10 mile drive back on the well packed dirt road. Already planning a return trip. Note-we brought our own water.

Nice small campground, quite remote, with no amenities. Campground and pit toilets are very clean.

Amazing overall experience. The camp was very well maintained and the first come first serve reservation system worked well. I would definitely recommend coming back to the campground.
