Chestnut Camp

Ultimately, I stayed in Sycamore. This was an accommodation made when I met Marshal so I could set up my hammock tent. The site is very large, and waking up right by a river was a real treat! Restrooms and water were sufficient. I looked at Chestnut and a few other sites when I first arrived, and noticed all seemed well maintained. Pillar and Marshall were very kind, definitely good people. 9/10 I will certainly visit again soon!

Happy Camper Campground is a lovely little campsite with a location that can't be beat! You can see the dam and the river from the campsites, and it is awesome falling asleep to the sound of the water flowing out of the damn. If you like fishing, the river is a few steps away and loaded with trout, I saw a bunch of people fishing, kayaking, and tubing! The bathroom was fine for the weekend, we didn't use the shower but heard it worked well enough! We did get some rain which made the trail to our campsite a little hard to navigate, and we slipped in the mud a few times. I contacted Marshall and he came and helped fix up the path right away! We really appreciated that! With a few improvements to the trail / stairs I think this campground would be awesome and definitely worth coming back to! Marshall was super helpful and responsive and he was willing to do anything to help us have a great time!

Dam View

The site was ideally situated for river access with only a few minutes paddle to dam. We will be back!

Chestnut Camp

Pilar has a few sites set up right next to the dam in Grafton. It was pretty quiet except for the water coming through the dam, but that was kind of peaceful! The sites are maintained and spacious. The water and toilet are just a short walk away.

Sycamore Camp

Great place for a family to relax and right by the water! Definitely recommend bringing kayaks and floats for the river!

Willow Camp

Perfect access to water. Quiet camp. Really enjoyed our stay. Only suggestion would be a shower area and better access to the spot since it's up a steep hill!
