The sites are small for our fifth wheel + truck, so we needed to park the truck in a convenient parking spot nearby. There is no cell phone service. We couldn't play much or watch anything- just mentioning this so people know to bring DVDs and have music downloaded! That would've made me experience more relaxing, but that's personal preference. The bath house was clean and the hot shower felt great. The lake was stunning! We were so impressed with the view, and I'd love to see it in October when the leaves change. I would come back with downloaded music and DVDs 🩷

Nice experience camping at Salt House Branch. Only negative was the men's hand dryer in the rest room did not work and had no paper towels as a back up.

Very good but we had to use propane for refrigerator and hot water in order to use AC. Only 30 amp. We have a 5th wheel.

The road to the campground was not RV friendly, but the campground was lovely. It was refreshing to see so many kids out bicycling, playing catch, and playing in the water. Family friendly and a throwback to when we as senior citizens went camping as kids.
