The hostess was great. She stopped in to say Hi and she took time to answer our questions. This visit was great the campsites around us were quite at night which was nice.

Campground was extremely peaceful. Trail around the pond was closed at time of visit.

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.

Overall Good Experience. Had cell service with AT&T but was VERY in and out

@DarleneRDA2744 · Camped on Jul 3, 2024 at Campsite #27

Nice place

@KathrynW441006 · Camped on Jul 3, 2024 at Campsite #13

This is a wonderful campground. There is pretty big variation in site size however and while the hosts do a good job of keeping the place clean there is no noise police. This was not an issue 90% of the time but the last night of a holiday weekend some guests thought it was ok to blast their music through the campground until midnight, it was a problem for the little kids.

Super friendly helpful host. Great spot for our annual family campout. Nice to have the showers and flush toilet options for those who need it.

@GlendaJ3594212 · Camped on Oct 3, 2023 at Campsite #24

Such a pristine campground - beautiful, quiet surroundings, amazing stars, and friendly people. Sites were spacious and flat with fine gravel surfaces, so no mud to deal with when it rained. Pit toilets were very well maintained and convenient. Our only complaints were the low water pressure at the faucets (took a long time to fill a bucket) and no sink at the shower building to wash dishes. But we made do and had a wonderful time. We normally stay at Winhall Brook but with the closure, decided to try Hapgood. I think it is our new favorite. We will certainly be back!

The campground is beautiful and well run. Thank You U.S. Forest Service!

Beautiful less busy campground. Excellent cleanliness of facilities, which I assume is due to the camp hosts.

@JamesF9843907 · Camped on Aug 24, 2023 at Campsite #12

Our second stay this year (our other campground flooded out) and still disappointed.The good: Normally a very quiet campground with well spaced sites.Nice tables and okay fire pits.The not-so-good: The camp host quit a few weeks earlier due to "no support" for problematic campers.Rangers only visit every couple of days to collect monies, hang site cards and restock toilets.Sites vary in size drastically. Some sites can only fit tents while others can fit 25ft campers.Free showers but you need to walk or drive to the beach area. Decent hot water.The bad: No firewood available on-site.Bath house showers are shared by day users and the beach can be packed.Showers are in stalls but there are no curtains. Stall walls have "peek through" areas.Bath house rarely cleaned or sanitized, just restocked.

@LisaC6980823 · Camped on Aug 13, 2023 at Campsite #21

It was very noisy and not much privacy at the campsites also a ton of mosquitoes!

@ChrisB5203459 · Camped on Aug 5, 2023 at Campsite #9

Very nice campground. Sites are pretty. We were in 009 and it was a shaded site. Pond area and trail around the pond were nice. Bathrooms/showers could have been cleaner. Would still recommend this campground.

@KathleenH0904B · Camped on Jul 29, 2023 at Campsite #19

I love camping at hapgood. Its the best place.

@IanB1361417 · Camped on Jul 27, 2023 at Campsite #S&P Standard Nonelectric

The pond and beach are a great place for kids to play. The facilities are primitive and not particularly clean. Im not a big fan of the gravel-covered tent sites, but otherwise they were fine.

@Frederick8E8DE · Camped on Jul 8, 2023 at Campsite #12

A very well maintained campground with spacious and private campsites. The area is scenic and close to small towns to sightsee. The trail that goes around the pond is a short but pleasant walk with a delightful variety of trees and plants to see.

@SharonW8755039 · Camped on Jun 11, 2023 at Campsite #12

This place never disappoints!

@KathleenJ69344 · Camped on Jun 2, 2023 at Campsite #24

Sites were well kept and bathrooms were very clean.

@KaelaR367CDC4F · Camped on May 27, 2023 at Campsite #PS1

Right next to the water! Was able to watch the kids swim from the gazebo.

@AndrewM2888517 · Camped on Oct 9, 2022 at Campsite #S&P Standard Nonelectric

A great, cozy little campground. Fall colors were great while we were there, easy access to hiking trails and a fun little pond (too cold to swim while we were there. Pit toilets were clean. What a quiet, relaxing campsite should be.

@JenniferW73279 · Camped on Oct 2, 2022 at Campsite #19

Great secluded spot overlooking a brook. Facilities were nice although showers could’ve been warmer in the chilly fall weather. Would definitely stay here again!

@KathyT3322889 · Camped on Sep 28, 2022 at Campsite #13

Beautiful. Sites are well spaced, trees and natural landscapes provide a bit of privacy, level or close to though a few won’t work for larger campers. Multiple trails Pond itself has small swimming area though otherwise natural environment Nice bathhouse. Best of both worlds. If I come out this way again , I would definitely return

@AndrewV6203190 · Camped on Sep 28, 2022 at Campsite #15

I really loved this location. The fall colors were beginning to pop at the lake. Roads to and from the campground provided many beautiful views of the fall colors. Although the bathrooms were composting, they had air fresheners that were amazing. There were groomed hiking trails around the campground and a brook. Our site had plenty of shade.

@HeatherW288312 · Camped on Sep 23, 2022 at Campsite #27

Such a gorgeous, serene place! We had a phenomenal time...just wish we could have stayed longer! Site was clean, bathrooms were nicely kept, and the lake was beautiful! A hidden gem of a place to camp! We will definitely be back soon!

@BrianF9020222 · Camped on Sep 22, 2022 at Campsite #23

Recommend staff walk through and inspect the site prior to occupancy. Fire place needed cleaning. Blow darts (needles) were found under picnic table. Gave to ranger and informed.. We did not see anyone do site inspect or cleaning of any site the 5 days were there.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
