This recreation area is part of John H. Kerr Dam and Reservoir
From I-85, take exit 214 and follow Highway 39 North for approximately 4.3 miles. Turn right on Nutbush Rd and take Nutbush Rd approximately 1 and a half mile. Turn Left into Nutbush SRA.
The sites are way too close and its very congested. There was a group of black families that were blasting music far after the noise curfew and openly daring anyone to stop them. The camp host wouldn't even come to their door. We finally hd to call 911 to reach the park rangers. Finally they arrived and shut the party down well into the night. Its a clean park but that's it and I'll never go back.....
Nice location but its so cramped, you could smell the neighbors farts. Also, the camp host needs to be trained or replaced. There was a fricken block party after the quiet hours this past Saturday that sounded like a ghetto Atlanta strip club. There were dirty socks left on the road afterwards. How in the hell does that happen? Foretunately, a real American hero called 911 and the Park Rangers came and punked them into submission. If that camp host is too soft to keep the peace there, let a real man like me be the camp host.
Campground is nice. They need to find a better time to clean the bathrooms than first thing in the morning when everyone is waking up. Takes them way too long and they are rude about it. Do better.
Very well maintained campgrounds. Were stayed on the 41-80 site side. There was a restroom building close by, it was cleaned daily, even on the weekends.
Water was clean, and easily accessible.
Campsites are far enough apart so you can maintain some privacy.
If you need to run to the grocery store there are a few close by.
The only thing I'd recommend is a lean-to to protect firewood in case it rains.
Beautiful view of Kerr Lake at site #12. Enjoyed a campfire each evening. Loved eating lunch at the picnic table overlooking the lake. Bath House was very clean. We had our dog with us and it was a very nice stay.
