Customer Reviews
Stayed at Clint Converse State Forest campground. Very unkept, trees down, never mowed. There seems to be homeless people living there without paying, loud generators running all night long. There is a travel trailer at the campground host site but no one is ever there. It has a hiking area but it's overgrown and unusable, it has a beach area but overgrown and fallen trees, so you can't swim there. Locals leave there boats shored fulltime at the beach anyway, so there is no room for swimming. It appears this is a forgotten area, and the state has allowed it to go into disrepair.
No dumpster, so bags of trash can be found in pit toilets and woods behind campsites. Very disappointing. Otherwise, it is quiet during the week with nice flat spots and massive red and white pines. Caught pike, bluegill and largemouth bass from the bank despite being shallow. Can hear cars on the road but hardly any traffic at night during the week. Fire rings have high walls so hard to see the fire unless you're above it
We enjoy this campground, it’s quiet and very peaceful, no amenities but that’s ok. We stayed there for 3 nights and this time was a difficult stay, we had a party next To us with a dog, the couple would leave late morning/ early angternoon and not come home until after 11:00pm. The dog was left in the camper for appx 12 hours and would wine and cry… the party would get home, put the dog outside tied up all night and the poor thing would continue wine and cry but outside all night, this poor dog didn’t deserve the treatment it’s getting and it broke my heart. I couldn’t sleep hearing this dog. All it wants is love. They need to have the dog taken away from them.
Rustic campground with only satellite toilets and a hand pump for water, no electric hook ups. There is a dock on the lower part of the park for fishing and a boat launch. The upper part of the park has some great level campsites. It's close to a county road or highway that gets a decent amount of traffic so you will hear cars going by a lot but we love it here.
It's very rustic, but this is a nice peaceful campground with a boat launch on Lake Washburn. It has picnic areas and vault toilets. Camping area is quite roomy and has unique upper and lower camping areas. There's a self-service payment drop box. Hiking/skiing trails are nearby.
