"It is my great priviledge and joy to live adjacent to this magical place. A fully thriving natural ecosystem, it's a beautiful example of a foothills biome. The Hubbard River runs through this terrain, it is beautiful and dynamic in all seasons. Some of the most beautiful wild hiking, as well as curated trails in southwest Hampden County. Here live Moose, White Tail Deer, Black Bear, Fisher Cats, Bald Eagles, Barred Owls, Red Foxes, Eastern Coyotes (Coyotes/Grey Timber Wolf naturally occurring hybrid), myriad species of mammals, reptiles and amphibians. This forest is a nature lovers' refuge, a scientific thinkers' and mycology enthusiasts' paradise! If you visit, please remember this forest is a unified being with a Mycorrhizal Network that has an a very old and established relationship with the forest. Like I said, Magical!"

"So absolutely beautiful. Very nicely maintained. Hiking paths are perfect. I loved hiking here!"

"A great place to unwind and detox from hectic work and hustle and bustle. We arrived late, checked in, very helpful at headquarters. . He even brought the wood we bought($7) to our car. I've read in reviews they do that to check if you have alcohol( prohibited) and they will ask you to leave if you do have any. If you're camping to party, this is NOT for you. 22 campsites. Some on the side of the quiet road, but most on off road, we chose a site near the camp trail for hiking, it was fabulous, quiet. The bathrooms/showers were a very quick walk. Showers were SO HOT! Bathroom's clean. Potable water outside. Big huge restaurant quality sink to clean your dishes in. Bear boxes at every site that when checking in,headquarters they will tell you to absolutely use them. Maybe a bit overkill on the warning, but I wasn't taking any risks and everything fit in there perfectly. Also told not to leave anything with scent or food in your car because a bear can damage the car. Hooting owls at night. Hiking trails were an easy/ moderate... Lead to a small waterfall that poured into a pool. Signs everywhere for no jumping off the rocks or swimming. But I'm very sure people swim here. I feel like this campground is geared more to adults that are trying to unwind,but there were families with kids and they were awesome. They all were playing outdoor games and enjoying the outside. Quiet time is 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. and everyone abided it. Fire pits in each site. Some sites have a drop off behind them, not dangerous, but if you have little ones I would be cautious. I look forward to visiting again next year"
