Although it rained most of the day the issue I had was with all the sand in the camping area made it very difficult not to get dirty.

Beautiful campground surrounded by hills on all sides. Close to the interstate and a dirt road away from the Blue Ridge Parkway. Good sized private camping spots. Clean bathrooms and very nice private showers. Nearby lake and some small trails. I have AT&T and there was not a single crumb of reception anywhere in the area.

They have an old closed bathroom which was operational (even though dated) pre-COVID. There is definitely a need for it to be reopened or replaced as only 2 stalls in the men's room is not many for 25 campsites in the main loop. Also would love to see a footbridge cutting across the center creek to the main bathroom. Otherwise it is a long walk.
The campsites are very spacious and this is a wonderful place to camp. I have been coming here for over 50 years. It is a hidden gem!

Great family trip to Cave Mtn Lake. We took the kids over to Natural Bridge one day and did some hiking around the lake area. Campground was great, nice facilities, and wonderful host. Make sure you plan ahead to get firewood outside the campground. There are several options to buy it nearby, but none available at the campground. Looking forward to a return trip soon!

Really nice campground. Only thing missing in my opinion is a sink to wash dishes at. Showers and facilities were nice.
