There’s no water. There is nothing to do around here. No good hikes, no lakes, ponds or streams nearby. The campground is hilly so biking for kids is tough. Even the 4-wheeling is just bumpy dirt roads.
McGill is beautiful. The wind whispering in the incredibly tall trees is incredible. But this is dry camping: no water, electricity or sewage. No showers, just toilets. Haul in all your water, electricity (generators), games, food. Some hiking trails, but not much to do except enjoy this absolutely beautiful area. You’ll probably stick to your campsite, perhaps walk the roads and look at the beautiful trees, or go all the way to the top of the main road to see where where the cross-country ski trails start, or where some astrology groups periodically meet over the weekend for some incredible startgazing. Dry camping is the theme.
