Leesville Lake Campground, LLC

First let me say this, this so called "man" shouldnt be able to run anything and this includes his skinny beanpole mouth, my daughter who is a nurse came to see me after work and while she was changing her work scrubs being there ten minutes without knowing any check in policies at 9 in the morning he proceeded to bang on my door and curse my daughter and me for the god awful act of not checking in, when offered to do so and a apology he then decided to call the cops and kept 500 dollars that was paid for my month long stay despite kicking us out after nine days, do not stay at this dump who has barney fife acting like a big boy when he needs to get put back in his little small mans position. shamefull child boy!

We stayed in a 32' TT in the upper area and had a great spot. Make sure you call before arriving as we had to back up the road to get in the spot. But it was not that bad. Jeff was very helpful getting us in. We had the main water hydrant break below ground. Jeff promptly came over and got us fixed up within a hour or so. The sites are very spacious, we didn't have a problem leveling. Our site had crushed rock and small retaining wall. For the memorial day weekend Jeff played taps every night and even gave a memorial day live concert. The park is a small family owned and we felt like family when staying here. They do have a pool which was very cold in May but the girls still braved it for a few minutes. Also have a playground for the kids. They do have trash receptacles for the short stay folks. The views of the mountains and trees were amazing. It was a very slow paced relaxing weekend. The lake is a 2 min drive down the road complete with boat ramp, fishing dock and plenty of bank fishing or just take in the view of the lake. We would definitely return.

We had a great time over the weekend. We were tent camping in a 20 person tent. Which is similar to a base camp tent. This place is mainly an RV Park which is ok. They only allow 2 sites to have tents in the campground. The rest are RV's. They have two regular home style bathrooms with full shower/tubs in them that are dedicated to your campsite if camping in a tent. They also have a pool that you can sign up for to use for one hour for your family and only your family each day. There are no trails here to hike. They have a small playground geared for smaller children. On Saturday evening's, Jeff, which by the way, is an awesomely talented musician, plays mutiple instruments in his vey own Covid19 Concert. We throughly enjoyed his wide variation of songs that he played on multiple instruments. All of their sites are gravel with picnic tables and a fire ring. If you are cooking using the fire ring you need to bring your own cook grate for over the fire. All sites have electric, water and black water hook up. The only down side was that fishing. You need to ride in your vehicle to the near by Leesville Lake. Because of COVID-19, the parking lot to access the fishing pier was gated. So you had to park in the grass, walk the whole parking lot then down this steep hill to access the fishing dock. The walk back up the steep hill was a lot especially in the heat. Then you have to walk the entire parking lot, then around the gate to get to your vehicle. Leesville Lake Campground does not own the lake or it's access for the fishing pier or boat ramp. The lake itself is beautiful. When we went this weekend it had rained severely the day and night before our arrival on Friday. So the lake was way above normal levels and there was a ton of wood and debris floating all over the lake. The boat ramp was so covered in logs and debris, if we had our boat we wouldn't feel comfortable in putting our boat in the water there. The dock at the boat ramp was 90 percent underwater. This lake is owned by the power company. The boat ramp and fishing pier are very close to the dam. There are also picnic tables and a huge picnic shelter with picnic tables down on the edge of the water near the fishing pier. There is a gas station that has ice and other things close to the campground. There is a Food Lion within 15 minutes, a Walmart within 20 minutes and Lynchburg within 30 minutes of the campground. You can also buy firewood at the campground for 5 dollars for a half of tractor front end bucket full. Tracy and Jeff that own and run this campground are very nice people. They keep the grounds, sites and office very well maintained and clean. They are also on site 24 hours a day. If you need anything or need help with anything they a very willing, able, polite, understanding, and have great hospitality to do so. We will be back to camp again.

Leesville Lake campground is a smaller laid-back facility that will appeal to campers that have a relaxing stay in mind. It’s divided into two areas, a lower loop that has shaded and sunny sites and an upper field that is suited to big rigs. The campground is operated by friendly owners who have put a lot of sweat equity into the facility and it’s obviously a labor of love. Leesville Lake is within walking distance and has a boat ramp and a fishing dock to drop in a line. Nighttime was quiet and we enjoyed our stay. Off-air TV reception is quite good with a variety of channels. Cellular (Verizon & US Cellular) was able to make calls, but had slow data speeds. The camp WiFi worked but only allowed e-mail & casual internet surfing due to speed restrictions. The owner was in the process of upgrading to Starlink for WiFi as of Oct 2023. Overall, we would recommend this campground and would come back.
