Primitive campsites with fire Rings cooking grates and Lantern posts. Most sites have a picnic table. Some sites are heavily wooded by the creek and tend to stay damp and cooler. Other sites are in a more open areas. There are two bath houses with men's and women's sides. Each bath house has push button warm showers and push button sinks with toilets and urinal. Freshwater spigots located throughout the campground. One Vault pit toilet between the two bath houses. On-site hosts are helpful. Large dumpster Midway point in the campsite convenient for throwing away your trash. Bear sighting on the road leading from the pave Road down to the campground itself. Keep your campsite clean and you won't have problems.
Quiet campground. Well-spaced sites. Access to Appalachian Trail from campground. Clean but aging bathrooms. We had site #23. Approximately 50 ft. walk in.
Great campground. Showers and bathroom were clean. The water in shower was lukewarm, but that's good enough. Weather in October in this area is perfect. Lots of hikers. The AT trail is w/in walking distance. Janeda and her husband( sorry I've forgotten his name) were so kind. Firewood was free. As much as you wanted. They are volunteers, and it's great to see people who want everyone to have a great time. The sites are private and quiet. Site 22 recommended for its privacy and closeness to bath house. All the site's are very private. The camp ground was very quiet. People really respect each other here.
This area of VA is picturesque! The campground is off the beaten path, quiet, and well maintained. The creek is swift and singing. Lots of mature, tall timber. Enjoyed the trails that intersect the campground. Grab firewood before you check in as it’s a bit of a drive to little towns for wood. Sites along the creek are in a Flood Zone. I could definitely tell some could get quiet boggy in wet weather. We had dry weather and site 4 was perfection! Please note all sites past 20 are accessed by a couple of easy switchbacks in the road. Wasn’t expecting to see that elevation change within the campground. Not tough just unexpected. Lovely private forested sites up there.
I almost hesitate to write a review because I'd like to keep this place to myself! This campground is by far our favorite. The sites are a good distance from each other, there is a shower and flush toilets, and we've always had wonderful campground hosts. There is a nice creek that runs through the campground with campsites on the creek. A bonus is access to trails without leaving the campground, including part of the Appalachian Trail.
We have been coming here over 10 years and always had a great experience. In addition to trails at the site there are many trails and interest points within short drives from the campsite.
They do not sell fire wood.
Quite atmosphere
