Love this place, we’ve been coming for years. The outhouse was nice and clean, with no odor. I’d give it five stars, except the grill is completely rusted out on both sides. We weren’t able to use it. It’s been that way for about two years.

This is a beautiful website that we have camped out for multiple years when kayaking on the James River. Excellent hiking also nearby. The pit toilet was in good shape with lots of toilet paper. The staff appears to be keeping up the site well.

We love this place, we’ve been coming here for years. Last year it seemed a little neglected, but they cleaned it up this year. The big fire pit had been dug out, and there were new trash containers. The restroom was clean for an outhouse, and it didn’t smell bad. It’s a nice, modern outhouse. This is a primitive site, no potable water, or electricity. The creek is lovely, although in the late summer it can get pretty low. The kids and dogs love the creek. We bring lawn and board games, and just relax. The are numerous great hiking trails nearby, including the Appalachian trail, and lots of breweries and wineries. Cave Mountain Lake Campground, another US Forest site is just up the road, and has a nice swimming and fishing pond, and showers available. There is a day use fee for the campground. The Blue Ridge Parkway is a reasonable distance away, about 30 minutes on nice fire roads. I’ve been told the Dinosaur Kingdom is not to be missed, and the Virginia Safari Park is really cool. A drive through zoo, with a small walk through section of smaller animals. We did notice that the entrance sign and the information board were missing this year. I’m assuming they’re being updated and will be replaced. The Glenwood and Pedlar Ranger Station is nearby, oped on weekdays with lots of information about hiking trails and the Jefferson National Forest. The best thing about this is that there are no other people there at all. Just your group, and Mother Nature.

It's a great group area that has a good, clean pit toilet. Bring your own water.

We love this place. It’s always quiet and clean. Lots to do in the area, too.

Our group had an awesome time at Hooper Creek. The toilet needed to be cleaned. The grounds are a gentle slope down hill. The warsh has exposed large tree roots, so be careful at night. The driveway and parking is nice. Quite and secluded.

The bathroom was clean and the campsites were free of debris. I've camped there for several years and thus know the routine regarding opening the gate and using the showers at Mountain Lake, but wonder about the experience of those new to the campsite, since there is no interaction with park employees. We did have sleep delayed Sat. evening due to the noise of folks somewhere nearby chasing after their baying hound dogs, but no one entered the campground.
