From north town limits: Go 2 mi N on SR-381.
I have paid $27 plus $5.50 for firewood for the night with a car and one tent on Sunday in the end of August. Every camp site has a spot for a car, a table, fireplace, spot for a tent. The sites are pretty packed, so the next spot was 5 meters away. There are flushable toilets, showers (even got, but I haven't used one), dumpster. In the night the crickets are pretty loud, a train and cars (if extremely loud) can be heard. At the reception there is a nice older man with cats and a room full of hunting trophies and snacks to buy. Overall experience there was nice, this place is on a verge of a forest and a big meadow that is mowned and available to relax. Some renovation to the toilets and showers could be done, but those are still usable.
Worst campground ever!!!
We thought that since it's private it's going to be well maintained! Boy were we wrong! Much much worse Conditions than any state park nearby or far away. Campgrounds are Rocky and uncomfortable, not well marked. Fire pit is dirty and not made to cook. No grill provided. Sites are way too cramped together.
Bathroom facilities are driving distance away! Like really far, from any site!! We actually had to bike or drive for to get to them. The you get to them and they are dark and stinky, the showers are paid 0.25$ per 5 min amd dirty! There are the occasional porter potty but it's... Well not best and still rather too far for a nighttime pee break.
Just overall not a good campground. And overly experiencive.. Just... Don't!!
Wonderful tent camping experience! We felt very secluded with our campsite surrounded by trees yet were still close to amenities. I would highly recommend Scarlett Knob to any nature-lover seeking a rustic, relaxing camping trip. We'll visit again.
Eh, it was okay. Probably not worth the price. Owners seemed nice, but the tent sites are much closer together than anticipated. When I called to book, I was told most of the sites “are pretty secluded”. I don’t expect complete privacy in a campground, but just an fyi. If you’re bringing a tent, put tarp underneath because the grounds are rocky.
My partner said it wasn’t even worth seeing the showers, because they’re so dirty. Had to drive to get to the modern bathroom at the main office which kind of sucked.
Nice to have ice and firewood available for purchase.
Overall, I’d probably come back here if I was in a pinch and needed a quick reservation.
It's an okay campground. The bathrooms and showers are atrocious, and I wouldn't go in a vehicle that doesn't have four wheel drive because you won't be able to get up the hills if it's muddy. But it is in a beautiful area and the staff were very kind. I would've rather pooped in the woods than used their latrines, and the showers required you to use a quarter, (which would be fine) but they don't work. I followed the directions to a T and it just ate quarters. The sites were very cute and ours had a cool fire ring made out of stone. But the sites were packed very closely together and I felt like I was surrounded by 6 other campsites within 30 feet. I won't choose to go here again but if it's the only open campground in the area I would go again. I just feel like for 35 dollars a night they could have better facilities.
