We stayed in campsite #1. This site was very difficult to back our 26-ft trailer into. We feel the difficulty was primarily due to the narrow campground road and extensive erosion of the shoulders of the road resulting in difficult positioning of our truck for and easy back-in. The bathhouse could use a remodel / upgrade, especially the showers. We like showers where: 1) the shower spray is not directed toward the drying area, 2) each shower has its own sitting bench, and 3) there is a mat in the drying area so your feet don’t get muddy right after you shower.

Ft Hamby is a wonderful place to get away from everything and just catch your breath. No frills - but everything you could want in a camping experience.
The Park Rangers and
Every Park Eemployees were very thoughtful, courteous, just so very nice. [Our Yorki came with us and the lady at the gate always gave him a treat when she was working.
A treat for us was seeing deer on 3 different occasions (2 of these times it was a family of deer)
We camped for 2 weeks and left the camp feeling revived and ready to return to the adult world.
Looking forward to our next trip!

Park is nice but the roads in the park are narrow and steep. If you have back or knee issues or be aware it is a chore to walk roads or paths because of the topo .

It is always a great place to stay. We have always been able to stay there and enjoy a quite restful time. Would recommend it to folks that want to get away for a great place to rest and enjoy a bit of the nature God has given us. Thanks to the workers that keep it clean and quite.

We enjoyed our stay at the park. Everyone was so nice. Although the time of year we arrived the water was still to cold for us to partake in water activities the availability of being able to launch our kayaks and the swiming beach was nice.

This is an awesome campground! I don't think there is a bad site and the trail to the waterfall was great. No sewer hookups but the dump station was just fine. We will definitely be coming back here as soon as we can!
