Poplar Grove has great level campsites with a nice field in the middle. Beautiful setting. Perfect for scout groups (younger or older, boy or girl). Latrines were in good condition. The only annoyance was that leaving 2 cars per campsite requires some shuttling to and from the parking area (1.2 miles away). We will definitely return.

The reservation system does not mention this fact... In the winter time, no water is available. You need to pack in your own water.

Outside of that, it was a good weekend. Plenty of firewood, good campsites, and good latrines.

The stay at camp went fine; however, I'm a bit bothered by the tenor of the park ranger who approached us shortly after our arrival - he very quickly used the term "violations" regarding our presence at the site. We had apparently put our tents up where they weren't allowed; however, the permitted locations were not entirely clear from the graphic on the board at the site, and another group who had already been at the same site had made the same mistake. I'd like to ask that the park personnel be a bit more thoughtful with their language, and I would also suggest that if 2 groups independently made the same mistake, then the posted rules aren't clear enough - it would be quite simple and helpful to say "Do not pitch tents on the grass."

Our troop had 2 of the campsites, one for the younger scouts and one for the crews that hiked in. We have come to truly enjoy this site as it provides a great natural setting and opportunity to teach the scouts many of the skills needed. Well kept.
