We as a group had a wonderful time together. The Rangers were very informative and very helpful. They thought the kids about the Smoky Bear 🐻. I too learned with them. I learnt the attitude of gratitude from the Rangers. God bless them and give them strength to do this community service for more years yet to come.
Went to camping last month
For tre years in a road ben there
Nice and secure place.
Awesome experience for our Cub Scout Pack. The facilities are excellent, clean and well maintained.
The ranger even came to clean out fire puts while we were there.
Quiet and off the road enough that there is not road noise. Also, quite close to Blue Ridge campground and reservoir for fishing.
I would highly recommend and will use this camp ground again.
