Cleanest restrooms i have ever seen at a campground. Nice people camping there. Ken and Jen were great host. We will certainly stay there again. Great place to stay for day trips to beautiful places in WVA

We were skeptical when we arrived because it was a very small place. However our hesitation changed quickly. The campground is tiny, but so so quaint. Ken is an wonderful host and made sure we had everything we needed. There was lots to do around as far as hiking and sightseeing but not much for the kiddos to do if you just want to chill out at the campground. Ken was great at letting us know places to visit and things to do. If you want quiet, quaint, clean and amazing views....give this one a try!

The owners are wonderful people who go out of their way to make your stay memorable. The bathrooms are always clean and pet friendly for all breeds.
I have to believe anyone not satisfied it was their own doing!

Arrived in November. Campground seemed nice enough. Only downhill from there. Full time worker and we live in our camper and was very disappointed by the end. They didn’t plow at all on the grounds. So when it snowed heading out to work at 6 am was a challenge. We froze up (not their fault) had to use the bathhouse. Solid ice. Not once did I feel safe walking up the sidewalk to use the bathroom in colder weather. Definitely afraid of falling.
Constant threat of my dogs being attacked by other campers dogs that were not leashed but why would they the farm dog roams in and out of campsites. My dogs were bitten twice during our stay.
I extended month by month as I needed to for work. Cause the location was convenient. I had extended Feb, March and April when I went to extend for May I was informed they rented the site for the holiday weekend. Not a phone call, didn’t stop by nothing. But did say I could move to a non full hook up site for the weekend and then move back. Very unprofessional, not a good experience. I have never had so much anxiety living the way we love to live. So glad we found another place.
I will say the owners are very nice and helpful when they are around. When the fires were burning they were readily available with I formation.
But overall not a good experience. I just think the campground is a hobby and is treated as such.
