Van Hook Glade

Friendly host, and a low-light-pollution campground.

Have been camping here for many years! Always a very anticipated getaway for us. It’s secluded and kept clean. Cliffside lake is the perfect place to spend the day relaxing. Frank (this year’s host) does a fine job of helping people and keeping everything in order. Had a bear pass thru the campground this year. All the camper’s were made aware of the situation and took proper actions. Remember, we are basically setting up house in their “living room”. I Strongly recommend everyone take proper bear precautions anytime you are camping in their territory.
We are already talking about next year’s trip to Van Hook.

The campground host was very accommodating in helping us change sites. Our reservation site didn’t work for us so he helped us to pick out a better one. A bit of traffic noise during the day but nights were quiet.

We stayed at campsite 12. It’s a few steps down with roots so ensure to stay steady footed. With it being recessed down there’s a lot of privacy despite being straight across from a water pump and the bathrooms. We could barely hear the neighbors but did hear some road noises that are easily ignorable.
There was a fire pit, hanging pole, picnic table and large flat gravel pad that easily fit our 10x18’ tent.
Overall, good experience and will go back if you that way again.

Frank was an amazing manager. The bathrooms were cleaner than any campground I have stayed. He was maintaining the campground and the lake area and everything was impeccable. Check in was a breeze. I will definitely come back here.

Nice little site, but lots of daytime traffic. With camp site pass, free admission to recreation area right nextdoor with beautiful hiking and lake access. Camp host Frank is a gem and keeps bathrooms spotless. Lovely area!
