Morris Hill Campground offers a peaceful and well-maintained camping experience, with friendly hosts and spacious sites that provide some privacy. While the campground is close to the lake, it lacks direct access and some facilities, like the bathrooms, need improvement. Overall, guests appreciate the beautiful surroundings, clean amenities, and enjoyable activities, making it a recommended spot for camping enthusiasts.

We absolutely love camping at Morris Hill Campground. It’s clean, the sites are a good size and the lake is close by. I can not say enough about the camp host. Super friendly 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!
