We had a company cookout at Poplar Shelter. It was pristine clean. I even went the day before to check the bathrooms to see if they were clean or needed any supplies. They were fully furnished and very clean. Caleb (park ranger) came by to make sure everything was ok for us during our cookout. He told me to leave the trash in the cans and he would take care of it. The whole experience was perfect.

Staff and facilities at Littcarr Campground are excellent! Not a large facility, but easy to maneuver and great sites. We had a great time while at Littcarr. A peaceful and tranquil place with lots of beauty to explore.

Our family rented the Laurel Shelter on May 14th. There were about 21 family members. The shelter included 8 picnic tables. Two of the tables were conveniently placed against the shelter wall near the 4 or 5 electrical outlets. These tables came in handy for our crock pots and the rest of the food. We had plenty of space for drinks and eating. The area was very clean!
There was a swing set next to the shelter that the little ones loved. And there were bathrooms right behind the shelter. The lake was in sight but not too close. And the mountains behind the lake made a beautiful backdrop. A very nice park officer stopped to check our permit and it was nice to know that the park officers were nearby if there was a need.
We all had a great time and I would highly recommend this area for a family gathering.
