Enjoyed our stay here. We stayed in the upper lot on the hill which is a good hike from the water but very quiet and nicely covered in trees. I had my car but others in my group had their campers, tight curve to leave but they were all able to do it. Showers and bathrooms were clean and some of the best I have had while camping. I did bring my kayak and the water covered the docks and boat ramp but I still put in and kayaked around.

Wonderful campground, wonderful people camping there. Camp hosts were very friendly and helpful. Absolutely love Philpott Lake. Verizon cell signal was good. Camp sites in a few areas were a bit closer to each other than I like but overall a well kept campground with nice folks everywhere.

It’s a beautiful setting and we are definitely returning next year!! I hope you will consider putting trash disposal within walking distance of the campground rather than having to drive to a dumpster and also have a recycling station.

The road to get to Goose point is very steep, curvy, has a hair pin turn and is very hilly. If you are towing something you should unhook at the bottom and drive separately. The sites however are really beautiful and I’m not sure any of them have a bad view. We were in 19 and it was a little bit sloped downwards but for a campground it was really level. The one trail is very short and mostly paved but you’re close enough to Fairy Stone to go hiking and it’s gorgeous there. The lake is great and gorgeous. The bath house was very clean and the water was hot but it did drain slowly. The dump station was nice though it was up the hairpin turn so a portable waste tank is advisable unless your black tank can hold for the whole time you’re there. The wireless signal is spotty at best but that’s why you camp, right? Overall we loved our stay and the place was really nice.

I always enjoy camping at Goose Point. 75%off the activity here is water related. When we camp here we don’t leave the campground during our stay mainly because it is so far from the main road. Everyone prefers camping on the lower loop but the sites are limited and they are all very close to each other.
