Great campground! Sites are well spaced, when we were there, it was pretty quiet. Didn't go to the beach area. The hosts were helpful. Would definitely recommend!

Campground was very well kept. No trash along road ways. Appreciate the soap and paper towels in bathrooms. So many COE parks don’t supply soap. Bugs in bathroom were a problem this year. Bushwacker Trail was closed. A favorite. Hope they fix it. Be aware of campsite location. Hard to back into some. Nice gate attendants.

We were in Site 6 - a pull thru and one of the few sites in the park that will accommodate our 38' 5th wheel and 4 door dually truck. It was challenging to get level because the site turns uphill about half way in but did leave enough room for the trailer to sit level ground with just a bit of leveling. The awning and door face the woods and there is a nice grill, fire pit and table there for an intimate private setting which we like. The bathhouse is just one site away so very convenient. We would consider this park again for a week. It is just tight and not what I would want to have to go through for just an overnight or two. We stayed here until we could get into another park that we had stayed in a few years ago.

We love coming to Ft Hamby. We were there almost 2 week fishing. through something. There is a lot of pot holes and one section of bank is caving in. You can see under the road.

Always a great experience at Fort Hamby. One of our favorite places to camp. By far the cleanest bathhouse of all the places we visit. Friendly staff. Love all the trees and the seclusion of the sites. Already have another reservation for this year.

Make sure to make your reservations as early as possible. This is a very popular campground and sites fill up quickly.

Loved Ft. Hamby, such a quiet peaceful park. Loved that most sites were private ,wooded and spacious. Staff was so helpful and pleasant. Disc golf course was fun but challenging, beach and marina well maintained. Will definitely return.
