Mead Creek State Forest Campground

If you’re looking to get away for a primitive camping trip/experience, then this is the place. Went here for two days during first full week of August. Saw the northern lights, they absolutely lit the night sky. Just keep in mind a place like this is not for everyone. There is no cell service, except for the fact that you can only make calls up by the water pump.

Bring lots of bug spray! We had the campground to ourselves but I'm sure that was due to the swarming horse flies by day and mosquitos by night. Campground is beautiful and secluded.

We were supposed to stay 3 nights. Left after the 1st night. When we got home the whole family had a minimum of 40 mosquitoe bites each. It was unbelievable the amount of mosquitoes that there were. They came in swarms. The campground was empty. Campsite was beautiful

This is an awesome campground. I think it has 9 sites total. It is mostly for canoeists, but access by road is possible, and that is what I did. Usually I shun taking gravel roads, preferring to hike in at that point, but I decided to try the drive. The 5 miles in 2017 were easy: the road was in excellent shape. So you have a campground with no lake, no electricity, a dirt road, serving canoeists: it's idyllic. You can swim a bit in the river (it's cold and watch out for the current) but the sites are pristine and it is really quiet here. Some sites (1, 2, 3) overlook the river, the others are in the woods. At the risk of revealing a secret find, I have to say, this is a great campground. If you can do without the lake, and if you are really about connecting with nature, this place is for

Off the beaten trail. So if your looking for a rustic not so busy place to camp. I recommend. I got a spot last minute on a Saturday night labor Day weekend! It was secluded and private. Great spot. 👍
