Reviewed by Guest on March 6, 2007
(0 out of 0 members found this review useful.)Its a wonderful camp groud. Over packed on holiday weekends, but when you go on slow weekends it's the best place to be. The camping is wonderful.My 10 year old will not let us miss a year. She loves fishing and hiking at Frank Gross. The children love the fish and nature exploration. Us, adults, love to sit by the fire eating fresh trout, hiking, and telling stories. Coopers Creek Store carries about whatever you need for your camping trip. I've never had a "dirty" campsite at Frank Gross. But it all depends on how you like to rough it. It's not for the KOAer's looking for a pool and rec room.
