Itβs very quieter and private for the most part, I do wish they would have some electric sites so it would give people more options running a generator is costly and loud. The upkeep on the bathrooms was done well, in my opinion they are in need an upgrade it would entice more people to visit this campground instead of just the bath county side.

Nice quiet camp. On top of a hill literally and the drive to it was beautiful. Great motorcycle ride to and from I-64.
Would camp here again.
Donβt if you have to have cell coverage.

I love this campground. Itβs nice and quiet. Thereβs good spacing between neighboring camp spots. The hosts are great and friendly. And the bathrooms are decently clean. One of my favorite places to go camping!!

Very nice little campground the hosts were super nice brought wood by the camp for us fairly quiet considering some rvs had generators our neighbors were super respectful and cut theirs off before 10pm some down the road we heard all night but didn't really bother us much but that's a chance u take in a tent lol only complaint is whoever was before us left old fruit right in the tree line behind our spot so we cleaned it up to avoid any critters visiting but overall we loved it and will be back

We arrived without a reservation but had checked availability. Luckily we had just enough cell phone service to book once there. You must have a reservation. No payment envelopes there. We have a 24 foot travel trailer and fit easily in site 37. We did not use the facilities as it was raining. We were amazed at how empty the place was since it's near a boat launch on a reservoir. The sites are good size and looked to be mostly level. A nicely wooded area. A bit out of the way on a narrow curvy road. Longer rigs could have a harder time with the curve on the road to the south. Google maps is slightly off on location. A big sign at the entrance would have been helpful as we had to turn around and go back. Not easy with a trailer.

A group of moms rented the group campgrounds for us & our kids to enjoy for a few nights. The location was a bit remote, but we chose it because we wanted privacy & access to the lake.
Our first day & night went off without a hitch. We kept the campground clean & clear of food debris, while storing food in the cars.
The second day, we enjoyed the beach & some of our party left. Upon leaving, multiple people, who left a separate times saw a bear on the main road.
One of the moms went to the camp host to inquire about bear activity & a rumor that the campground was not fully open due to the bear activity. The camp hosts denied there was an issue & sent the mom on her way.
After dinner, the same mom was at the main campground washing dishes. When she returned back to the group campground, the rest of the moms were scattered. Some were keeping kids safe in cars, while others were banging on pots and pans, throwing rocks & shooting off firecrackers at a bear that was about 15' from the campground. The bear just sat & watched, unphased. Further down at the next group campsites, the campers were away, so the bear took advantage of this time to sniff around and climb up on their table.
We sent a mom to go ask the camp hosts for help distracting the bear, while we packed up our things. She was met with an annoyed man who asked her if she was sure that the bear wouldn't leave. They did finally come to help but, they arrived with mace and more firecrackers. Thankfully, they stayed until everyone was packed up.
This situation could've been avoided had the camp hosts been honest with us. We were put in a situation where we forced to rush to pack up, with extremally frightened children screaming & crying; as the sun was setting.
I reached out to the Dept of Forestry & was told this has been an ongoing problem for years. I feel that this information should be made available to future campers prior to booking. The last mom to leave said the bear came and sat on thetableagain
