Stayed on site 17 and was huge, tons of space, lovely views. Kids had fun going down to fish, we hiked the trails. Narrow road getting around campsite so had to watch our TT wheels to stay on the road. Definitely going back.

Enjoyed my 3 night stay at Ft. Hamby. Easy access to park. Restaurants and stores with 10 miles.
Some shady sites, some sunny sites. Staff friendly and knowledgeable. Would stay again.

LOVE Fort Hamby! Great Staff, beautiful campground. It is clean and neat, beautiful lake, playground, shelter and swim areas. Canoeing, boating, fishing. Ice and wood available. Minutes away from stores. Lots of Orchards in the area.

Fort Hamby is the perfect mix of camping, canoeing, fishing, walking/hiking, Orchard hopping, great local retail and food options and relaxing peace and quiet. The bathhouse is clean with hot showers. From a women's perspective I would suggest installing hand held showers. This would be of help in bathing children or for those with limited movement disabilities. Fort Hamby is one of my favorite campgrounds!
