Hapgood Pond campground has 28 sites without hookups and no dump station on site. Firewood is not sold here, however JJ Hapgoods sells firewood as do other local stores. Water and vault toilets are available in the campground. Quiet hours are 10 pm to 6 am and most campers are considerate of those hours. Sites 1 to 8 are first come first serve. These sites generally have openings during the week but are full on weekends. Sites 9 to 28 are reservable with sites 18 and 19 being walk in. Cell service is better in sites 23 to 28 and you are closer to the day use area however the sites are closer to your neighbors. Sites 6, 8, and 10 have more open sky than the rest of the sites as most sites have trees around them with shade. The day use area has a bathhouse, pavilions, pond, and walking trail. Weekends are quite busy with weekdays being way less crowded. Swimming and kayaking are very popular at Hapgood as is dog walks on the one mile wooded trail around the pond. Dogs are not allowed on the beach so most find other areas at the pond to play in the water. Hapgood is a beautiful recreation area and I highly recommend it. Ive added this review to answer questions that I have been asked while I hosted at Hapgood Pond.

The camping experience was very good. We were especially interested in bird watching. We brought a canoe. There were none available for rent. The pond is lovely and quiet and was great for bird watching. We enjoyed hiking the trail around the pond an had good luck sighting birds there also. Our site had lots of room for our small camper-trailer and a tent. The toilets in the camping area are "pit" style but there are flush toilets in the main restroom at the beach.

Nice, clean campground. We had one of the best sites. We noted some sites were small, but ours was large and private. Lots of bathroom facilities scattered throughout! The showers were a bit weird as the water turned itself off after about 20 seconds and had to be turned on again every 20 seconds in one stall. The other shower lasted much longer. We enjoyed swimming in the refreshing water of the pond. There were some large lawn areas for recreation and a large parking lot for day trippers with grills and tables, some of which were covered. We took advantage on the last night to use the cover for our dinner prep as it was raining out. Overall a very nice experience. The website could use some work, though. I ended up calling the booking office, even though I booked online bc I needed to understand the cancellation policy as well as ad-on days policy which was not explained. I am used to staying at a place where the booking is done on-site so lots of info is helpful.
