My husband and I just spent three days/nights at Trace Branch Campground. We thoroughly enjoyed our tent camping trip.The staff were friendly and helpful. The grounds were well maintained and the bathrooms/showers were clean. The only reason I gave Trace Branch Campground 4 stars instead of 5 stars was because the restroom/showers had 42 steps (round trip) or a very steep road/drive up to it. It seems there should be a winding concrete path to make them more accessible.
The location is wonderful, sites are spacious and showers are great. The camp host is fantastic. Getting your trailer in there though is not so great unfortunately
Lovely setting beside upper Buckhorn Lake and good facilities make this a great camping spot. It had vacant sites even late afternoon on a Saturday. Each site has water and electricity as well as a picnic table. Restroom has hot showers. Drive in is 2.6 miles and well signed, but watch for bits of loose gravel. Sites cost $24, half price with federal senior or access card.
We actually didn’t end up staying after reserving a space as the site was just simply too small (length and width) for even out jeep gladiator and 12’ camper (taxa tigermoth). If you get a waterfront spot at the back of the campground i recommend renting two to help with space.
Nice clean family atmosphere it's tucked away in the head waters of buckhorn lake if you want to kayak or just relax there is not much boat traffic at all!
