We enjoyed the facilities. The kids loved the lake and there is a good hiking trail (North Country Trail) going past the campground for those that want hiking options.

Many of the campsites need larger blacktop areas, long walk to bath house from certain areas and only a single shower for men. The boat launch needs repair. The caretaker does a good job.

Love this campground for its location and site size. Did NOT care for the ‘decorations’ the hosts added to camp walks and spaces. Also didn’t care for the motion activated security lights.

I don’t go to NFS camps to encounter this type of junk.

Otherwise, highly recommended.

The spongy moth caterpillars infested the whole camp. It was impossible to enjoy anything without them crawling all over. And the poop.....all over the camper. We left a day earlier than planned. We had to scrape the poop off our camper and awning. No hot water in the shower. We have camped at Nichols Lake for over 25 years. I doubt we will ever go back. It was a horrible experience.

Small and beautiful campground. Beautiful beach and lake. Nesting pair of loons and bountiful birds. Close to Baldwin and Jone’s ice cream!
