Lovely camping area with swimming and easy to moderate walking & hiking trails accessible by foot. Bathrooms/shower facilities have recently been updated and were well-cleaned. Excellent base camp for those interested in trying the nearby Devil's Marbleyard hike/scramble or visiting the Natural Bridge.

The site was perfect, the bathroom house was clean and well stocked. It was a great place to stay and we enjoyed out 9 days there.

The Taylor Hollow Fire was ~11 miles from the campsite, the aqi was unhealthy, and the canadian wildfire smoke added to the local only 60% contained fire. I was refused a refund. I had a 3 and a 6 year old with me, who while champion campers can't reliably wear a mask sleeping or enjoying the lake. Enjoy the 48 bucks, but I'll be darned if I ever give the great state of virginia another dollar. I cannot believe I even had to ask, in Michigan they refunded everyone without question. Embarrassing for the commonwealth.
