Beautiful camp site. We booked #38 or #19 I forgot. It’s one of those carry in one and the well doesn’t work. We had to drive to another well to get water. It’s not that bad.

Surprising there isn’t much mosquito but a lot of inch worm. Spending two night the max I would do since there isn’t a shower or decent toilet.

It’s peaceful and the campsites are evenly spaced out. I would suggest to dress long pants and shirt.

Best to do ridge line trail counter clockwise. Good for camping. Less traffic than trails in Kent and views are solid. Be prepared for some steeper descents and drops if you embark on the blue trail.

I spent this past weekend at Macedonia Brook State park.
26 through the 28th site 43.
It was very peaceful and pretty clean. The babbling brook running next to the campsite offered a soothing sound to relax by.
One other fact i would mention is the abundent mouse population.
Soon after dark you can expect a raiding party of little furries to run all over camp. Imagine my suprise to have one perch atop my foot while i was roasting a marshmellow over the fire. The little furries mostly avoided the campfire light but i could see them near my woodpile and under the picnic table.
My 4 season northface tent did a proper job of keeping the bugs and the little furries with tails outside of the yellow nylon walls.
I had an outhouse about 20 yards away but at night with all the activity , I was happy that i had remembered my pee jug. Thankfully no 2 am forays to an even scarier place to get relief from a ful bladder.
Mornings at site 43 you can expect the sun to peek through the trees around 8 am. If you look carefully you might see the silouette of giant millipedes on the tent wall. For those unfamilier Giant millipedes are a black and red bug about 2 inches long and about the thickness of a cigarette. I think they might be poisonis but that may just be a rumor. The brook is a fun place to fish and if you are so inclined i would recomend casting down stream to the deep holes after the manyrock drop offs. Remeber to get your fishing licence online. Follow all the park rules keep a clean camp and respect the other campers.

Nice park for hiking. There is a flat trail and a couple that are very rocky and hard. Follow blue for the longest ad more difficult. Also, it's one of the trials i've seen with best signs even in the hardest parts with rocks. It gets very slippery if there was rain. There a a few parking areas so you can also choose where to park and how much to walk.

A great park, well maintained. The staff have done an excellent job of clearing up after the recent storms.
Many trees had been taken down, and they cut though to set the path once more.
Loved the views, the sights and just nature in general and this place has it all.
My son went camping this same weekend there with friends and had an incredible time.
Definitely a keeper!

It was a great hike on white trail. Very steep though, get ready to use your handa towards the top especially. Great view, medium to hard climb down on blue to green. Again there is big drop very steep coming down. Will go back to finish the whole trail. Recommend it.

We had a wonderful time here with our dog. The blue trail is challenging though. Be prepared to climb with your hands and feet.
