the experience of fort hamby is always excellent; nice sites, close to town bt still very rural, the resevoir, wildlife, the quiet.
the bad: the website! i have noticed some improvement lately, however, the maps provided are topographical rather than an actual map (roads, parking areas). amont the worst i have seen.

Campsites were nicely laid out, with generally good privacy between sites.
Clean and well-maintained bath and shower house.
Lakefront and sandy beach area were clean and well defined.
Camp hosts were extremely friendly and accommodating.

Nice stay in site 5. Only issue was multiple cars entering campground after dark and lights shined right into our tent. Bathrooms and showers were very clean and shower had good water pressure. Take the walk to bushwhack falls.itβs short and worth the time, cute little spot.

Park road map is not accurate but signs are spot on. Nice sites but some are steep to back into. Super quiet park.
