One of virginias hiden campground thats totally awesome , its our favorite always plenty of kids for the kids to play with enough privacy. You don’t feel like you’re stuck up under another camper. Restrooms and showers are usually always clean. Awesome beach.

I have a small camper, the site was so steep had extremely hard time getting in and hitching up to leave. Have a 4 wheel drive vehicle, even in 4 wheel. The beach swimming are is no longer fun as the day use people are highly vocalizing 4 letter words constantly in front of children and families. I do not feel I can take my grandkids here anymore. This behavior is ongoing and getting worse. The Handicap Bathroom shower does not work, the cleanliness is no longer of the high level it used to be. There is no longer any recycling containers that I saw. The water pressure at the site I was on was extremely high, even with my pressure reducing element. A loud drunk or whatever guy in a pick up truck sped all screech all around the parking lot and thru the campground unstopped frightening many campers. Have camped here for years, it is going downhill fast. What is going on? Hoping things change. The employees are all very good. That's it in a nutshell.

Goosepoint is my favorite place to camp! The sites are nice and spacious! I love being able to look at the lake. Our site and others I saw could use some gravel. It made it dusty without enough gravel. Other than that it has been great!!

Had a wonderful stay at Goose Point Campground. We did have a problem with our 50amp power not working when we arrived, but the park ranger Jason went out of his way to try to help us find a solution. We appreciate the excellent customer service! The campsite itself was flat and clean and private. The bathrooms were kept clean as well. The showers could be better designed as water did not drain properly and flooded the floors, but convenient to have after a day at the lake. We enjoyed our 2 night stay. Thanks again to the amazing park rangers!!

For the view you have, I think this is the best spot we have had here. The PAD is a little narrow but there is a wider open spot just below. Our only problem was some guy trying to fish thinking our camp spot was open to anyone. But is was funny watching him. Might have been his first time ever fishing.
