Stony Fork Campground

Beautiful mountainside campground in a deep forested setting. Dump station and water fill station across highway from entrance, need to be careful crossing highway to and from campground due to traffic and a curve. Dump station has been designed by people who know little about camper dump needs. Weird, swampy mush, one of the worst dump stations ever designed. What a mess. Campground was great, however. Paved sites, often with slope, leveling likely needed. Fairly spacious sites, and lots of space between. There are several concrete box bridges that may become fords in wet weather, and there are depth gauges on these facilities, so it seems that flash flooding could be an issue at times on the roadway and maybe even on some of the lower campsites. People were friendly, sometimes too friendly, sometimes overbearing with regard to their "opinions" about the state you are from (get used to it, Florida has 21 million residents, and sometimes they travel about). This included some of the hosts. Unnecessary and made us feel uncomfortable. Not a whole lot to do in the area, Wytheville was not what we thought it would be with regard to tourism facilities, appears many travel businesses have gone out. Hurt by pandemic? Hard to say.

This is a wonderful campground. Sights are private and facilities are well kept. It very convenient to the highways.

Nice campground, good privacy and separation between campsites. Ample shade. Hosts were friendly and accommodating. Restrooms were clean on the whole. Good hiking and motorcycle riding (the main purpose of my trip) in the area. I had electric and water hookups at my site, #32, (not all have them), but I was just barely able to connect my cord and hose. At the rear of the paved portion of the driveway was a parking lot-type concrete block which prevented further backing. Interesting that not all sites had this, and there was plenty of room beyond the block. I bring this up only because, with the power pedestal and water spigot near the rear the back of the site, a larger rig may have needed two power cords and/or hose segments, depending on where on the rig their connections are. The biggest nit to pick is that the picnic table legs were very short, and with the benches only 13" off the ground (I measured) it made the table useless for this 6'4" frame with inflexible and somewhat arthritic lower extremity joints. Other campsites had "normal" tables, though I noticed a couple that had similar short ones. But I saw one raised with blocks -- a seemingly simple and inexpensive solution short of replacing the table. It ain't pretty but it's functional. Why not do that for all of the shorties?? Minor issue: The hot water in the closest bathhouse was malfunctioning the last night I was there. The host alerted me as I was on the way to shower and directed me to the next closest, where it was fine.

Great campground. Spaces are immense and secluded. From most spots you can’t see your neighbor. Even though the campground was full there was very little noise. Bathrooms were immaculate. The camp volunteer was available to help with whatever needed to be done. There is a very nice nature trail in the campground. If you forgot anything town is very close by. We will return again.

Nicely separated site providing privacy; sites differ in width though which makes them differently well suited for certain types of vehicles; the bathrooms/showers definitely need an update; the host is helpful and welcoming
