Old Stone Fort State Park Campground

Great place to see! Mile and quarter loop can be done quick or slow and shows all the beautiful sites along the big duck and little duck river. I recommend it!!

I visit here a lot! There's a great deal of history here at Old Stone Fort Park. The walls were built by Woodland Indians about 3,000 years ago. During the Civil War, there were gunpowder mills, and later on, a paper mill. On the Little Duck river side, there is a saltpeter cave. It was mined during the Civil War to make gunpowder.

This place was beautiful! We got a trail map at the little museum at the entrance and had a nice leisurely hike around the wall adjacent to the river. The waterfalls were fantastic! It’s a great place to spend an hour or two stretching your legs on a walk, or having a picnic and a swim in the river!

beyond how muddy it gets from the rain, it’s a great campground. our entire site was swampy, so tent camping would have been impossible. walking across the old bridge and checking out all of the water falls was a fun adventure. we definitely want to come back during the dry season.

While the campground is close to Manchester and waterfalls etc, the park itself can be completed in a few hours. The campground is poorly laid out, especially now that they’ve closed the 1 lane bridge. While they’ve made improvements the campground still needs lots of work. One spot next to our site has electrical cables just sticking out of the ground. I can only assume they’re old since they seem to have made electrical improvements. They do have one of the nicest shower/restroom facilities I’ve ever seen at a campground. That said, whomever decided to put jet driers in them that can be heard all over the park, should be fired. There are many campgrounds not far from here I should have chosen but we rode out our 4 nights anyway

I arrived and went straight to campsite. Ranger will check in with you once you are settled. I was traveling alone and felt extremely safe. Bathrooms were clean and lots of natural light comes in from the skylights.
There’s a 1 mile path on the grounds but you can now walk over the bridge and there’s more paths, I didn’t make it that far. I enjoyed my stay here and everyone camping was super friendly. AT&T service was fine.
Will definitely be back when passing through since it’s not far off the highway.

Camp attendant was great obtaining a great site for us as a walk up with no reservations. Site clean and level. Campground quit. Restrooms clean. Only drawbacks no WiFi or satellite channels and only one bar att cellular

The cons - We did everything wrong - new place after dark with a new to us 43’ fifth wheel. Prior to this we had diesel pushers. Either would be a challenge getting into these tight campsites - but in the dark when road weary - we set ourselves up for a headache. Life happens and so does traffic - so we arrived hours later than planned. Either way, the roads into the campground are narrow, sites are not very deep, so no place to park the truck - and almost took our awning off backing in as not only are there lots of trees, they arch over the paved pad and lots of branches scraping.

Pros - picturesque campground with the nicest shower house and secluded feel. Folks are so so nice. Had a fellow camper trying to help us last night, then the park ranger stopped by to check on us. Such nice staff and def would come back in a smaller rig. Well equipped sites, but small due to the trees. Tent pads look nice. We woke up to rain, so rather than hang out and explore, we continued on our journey.

We spent one night while traveling to Florida for a winter vacation. It was a quiet spot with about 8-10 other campsites taken. The nature and hiking trails were great. By the time we walked up to the Old Stone Fort and back we’d logged 5 miles. I should say 5 beautiful miles. Great place and very peaceful. We had both electric and water hookups. Also, 2 bars on Verizon so we could watch some college football games.

We just stayed here one night. The waterfalls in the area are absolutely beautiful and there is an amazing bridge you have to cross to get to the campsite!
We only had 30amp hookups (which we blew on our 19 degree night with all of our heaters running) but the breaker box is on the opposite side of the water. We had to step over our power chord to get to the campfire every time, which could be dangerous. The bathrooms were pretty dirty, but it was the dead of winter.
If you're looking for a place to hike, see some waterfalls and have your pets out, this is a great place. There were dogs everywhere.
It's also within walking distance of the residence in the area, so you see a lot of locals there.
The hookups are the only thing I would really fuss about. The sites were pretty narrow, but the amount of space you have to spread out is huge and there is even a spot to set up a tent.
