A very pretty, older Campground. An easy drive from lynchburg either by 501 north or rt130 from Madison Heights, which is flatter if towing is a consideration. It is not a full featured campground but it does have restrooms with flush toilets and sinks. There is an rv dump station. The water supply there was turned off but I was able to empty the tanks. There is a potable water tap in the middle of the rv area about 50ft from the bathroom. I would imagine the B loop has one as well but didn't stay there. Plenty of pull in sites. We stayed in A57. I think it is probably as private as you can get. Lots of room and great access to the creek. Maybe 100 ft from the Bathroom. The camp host was great. Happy to assist. He showed us where our site was and gave advice where to park the trailer which was nice. We arrived after dark. He kept approved fire wood by his spot. He goes to town and picks it up and sells it by the honor system. Make sure if you bring your own that it is heat treated and approved by the park service. The James River visitors center is a nice little shop about 3 miles away next to the river and has info about the area and several trails that lead across or beside the river. There is a foot bridge suspended under the highway bridge. Be sure to look up under the bridge and see the swallows nests in the corners. It's a beautiful area and nice Campground that we will be visiting a lot.
