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 didnβt 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!

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.
