Morris Hill Campground

We came to camp during the brunt of Hurricane Helene. We knew there would be rain and time spent in our camper. During the breaks in the storm, Camp Host, David, came by to check on sites. The sites were all in expected order, the bathrooms were very clean and well stocked. Saturday turned out to be good enough weather for a family boat ride. The lake level was the lowest we've seen in years. Coles Point boat ramp was not usable due to the level and Fortney Branch only had a small section to get our boat in. The Forest Service or Army Corps maintenance employees cited draught as the reason, but we suspect they cater water flow to the papermill and other commercial purposes downstream and not for its advertised purpose (flood control/recreation). My Verizon cell phone had enough service (2 bars LTE) to stream a movie for the kids and my T-Mobile phone had no service (the closest place to get reception was back on E Morris Hill Rd). We were one of only about 4 total campers. The only drawback to Morris Hill is the lack of electric sites. Adding electricity to all or even a few sites would make this campground our usual go-to!

We stay here several times a year and it is always a good family experience. The camp host is always very approachable and helpful.

Conveniently located in Lake Moomaw- a nice campground that only takes reservations. I had to make a last minute reservation which I didn’t want to do but messed up directions to get to another campground. Really enjoyed the site but was disturbed a bit by the chain sawing at 8 AM. Overall a good spot!

Nice sites. Great camp host.

We had a great time at this quiet campground, it's in a great location for hiking, biking and kayaking! The camp host was able to tell us about some of the other sites to see within a short drive, ie the Falling Spring waterfall, and humpback covered bridge. Also told us where best place to see all the night stars without the trees to block the sky. The restrooms were clean and nice with good hot water for showers. We plan to go Virgnia in a year or two and we plan to use this campground as our base for both Virgnia and West Virgnia bike riding.

We liked the campground so much that we extended our stay for serval more days. Close to bike and hike trails. We plan to come back to this campground in the next year or two.

Loved site 36 but unfortunately was camping next to a loud party of guys from Massachusetts who were up past 1am. I should have moved sites when I pulled in at 8pm and saw them. The campground was nearly empty.

We had a very disappointing stay at this campground. Despite having reserved our site (July 2-5), the previous camper remained parked there seven hours past check-out. The camp host initially argued that we didn't have the site reserved, even after we showed proof. The host finally checked the reservation list and contacted the previous camper, who was part of a group that reserved multiple sites (49, 51, 52, 53, 54).

The previous camper, eventually moved their camper but left trash and a towel behind. We had to clean up their mess, and the camp host did not check on the site's cleanliness. On July 5th, the same group ran three generators until 3:30 AM despite being told to shut them down by the host. They initially complied but restarted them once the host left. The next night, they ran generators until 10:05 PM, only stopping because I confronted the host in the road with my complaints.

During July 5th and 6th, the group had 4-6 vehicles per site, with guests staying until midnight. Their vehicles and boats were parked hazardously, half on and half off the road. A Jeep from their group repeatedly drove the wrong way down a one-way road on both days. On July 6th, we returned at 9 PM to find their guest's vehicle blocking our campsite entrance, and they refused to move it.

The group also drank excessively both nights. When I asked the host for help with their rule violations, he casually opened a beer from his cooler and drank in front of me. Additionally, the neighboring campsite had an aggressive off-leash dog that entered our site three times, and their kids rode bikes through our site, agitating our leashed dog.

Finally, on July 6th, a guest from the troublesome group entered our site and aggressively demanded I turn off my truck lights, as they were bothered while drinking and smoking in the road. The situation was unacceptable, and the lack of action from the camp host made it worse.

Not recommended till they fix some serious issues.

No host available to show us where the group site is as it's separate from the main camp. After a 3 hour drive and about a hour knocking on both host doors and looking we decided to find it on our own. Site had garbage including a used maxi pad. The group site neighbors were up until 2 am cursing and partying. Who should I complain to the host I couldn't find. Beautiful place but wouldn't stay here again.
