Campsites were fantastic and the views amazing. The singular bathhouse was not maintained over a holiday weekend. The vault bathroom was not advertised as such when booking.
Paddle Boarding was amazing and also the fishing from our campsite

We ALWAYS enjoy our stays at Ft Hamby. That's why we keep going back! We only live 30 mi away but you don't have to go a long way to have a good time. Ft Hamby is our go-to campground.

Nice, fairly small campground. Near several moderate sized towns. Everything was clean but the showers have NO seats and NO hooks for keeping clothes dry of any kind. I have NEVER seen a shower that had neither. VERY inconvenient.

Very disappointed with the bath house. Paper towels were out and were not refilled after it ran out.

This stay was disappointing. We stay at COE sites a lot. And this one was in the worst shape. The roads leading into the campsites are very narrow which is fine. But there was no care to keep the sides clean. A lot of old tree branches lined the sides and also in the road. When checking in the staff was not rude, but also not very welcoming. Our site was not that level. One side of the RV needed raised 6 inches. Plus I don't think anything is done to the sites between stays. Our fire pit had trash in it and I noticed other sites were the same. Plus there is nothing to do in the campground, but to sit at your site. There is no playground for kids and no lake access. There is a day use area, but that's a LONG walk from the campground. There use to be a waterfall trail, but it has been close. Just seem whoever manages this site, really doesn't care what shape it is in. IMO there are two better COE campground on the southern part of the lake. I'll probably not book Ft Hamby again.
So if your just passing thru and need a 1 or 2 night stay, or you like just relaxing at your site, then you might like it here. We camped at Fort Hamby Park in a Fifth Wheel

Beautiful area, site #14 was very private and quiet. Weather wasn’t the best but it got better. We just stayed 2 nights so I didn’t visit the bathhouse. Over all good trip and will go back!

My husband and I had a great time at this campground! The hosts are amazing people and we wished we could have stayed longer!
We had a site right on the water which was nice!
If you’re in the area, you should definitely stop here!
