I camped out at Hufstedler's on 8/10/07 and floated the next day. The night I camped the campground was very quiet, and there were not very many people there. (Whether or not it's usually busier at different times, I can only guess).
The facilities are not pristine, but they were relatively clean with running water (sinks, toilets, multiple showers).
Overall the campground has a very rustic feel, and is heavily wooded. Campers were sparse so it was nice to feel like we had our own private area far away from other campers.
The staff was helpful and polite, and it was easy to get a shuttle service for our self-owned kayaks for the float.
There is a store near the road which serves as the main office for the campground, they seemed to have supplies and knick-knacks there, they also sell fishing licenses, and they do take a credit card.
The campground was clean of trash. The location is settled on a hill, which made finding a nice flat spot to camp nearly impossible. The best spots were most likely already taken by the few campers that arrived previously.
The terrain is pretty rocky too, which is not a good thing without a cot or a camping mattress of some sort. The biggest drawbacks were the rocks and the slight incline which made finding a good camping spot difficult.
Due to it being in the woods, firewood was plentiful and easy to acquire. The campground also provides bundles of wood if needed. We didn't need to take any of the bundled wood.
My overall experience with the campground and canoe service was positive. However I wouldn't be opposed for trying out other campgrounds that are possibly better. Unfortunately, I don't have a basis of comparison to other Eleven Point campgrounds, but I wouldn't be disinclined to camp at Hufstedler's again.
