This is a lovely campground and we have camped here several times over the past decade or so. It's always quiet and peaceful and the camp hosts are welcoming and lovely. My only major issue with this campground is that we've watched the bathhouse really degrade over the years and it is now time for a major update.

Hosts were friendly and helpful. Site was level and clean. Electrical could use some updating and restrooms also need to be remodeled.

This is beautiful campground but for the fee should have better shower facilities and hot water at the handbooks. The shower needs totally redone.

Buck Hall offers one of the most unique camping settings in America with an unmatched view of Bulls Bay. Sites are level and partly shaded with a variety of maritime forest trees. That being said, the restrooms and shower buildings are pretty rough. They are not heated and could be cleaned more thoroughly. We have a small camper with limited black water tank, so when sites don't have sewer hookup, we need the bathhouse....but we still go back to Buck Hall almost every year because of the beautiful setting.

The spot was beautiful. Had great shower facilities. Had no problems checking in or out. Thanks for taking such good care of us in your State Parks!

Nice small campground. Showers were dated and no heat. Tent camping/parking was not designed for roof top tents but due to vacancies it worked out. Host was very nice and informative. I will be back again. Rumor is that upgrades are planned.

The current camp hosts, like the prior couple, are doing a fantastic job of keeping the grounds, camp sites and bath house clean and in good order. They are also trimming back limbs from the roads where needed.

Site 13 is large with a beautiful view of the Intracoastal. Try to catch a sunrise.
