Customer Reviews
This campground was excellent. Set on the western side of the blue ridge mountains overlooking a great creek supplied by along the side. It is not rv friendly. However, I got in and out ok with my 27-foot Imagine. Had go divert the super tight left leaving by going up the mountain foe a mile to an easy turn around. Turkey season packs this camp.
Beautiful camp ground, sites are secluded, and spaced far enough away from each other for plenty of privacy. Very quiet and peaceful during the day. No electricity or water, but we knew that before going. My only complaint is that we never saw a park ranger or anyone patrol the grounds the entire time that we were there, and there is alot of suspicious activity after dark. There is absolutely no traffic through the campground during the day, but it turns into a very busy place at night with the same people coming in and out every night multiple times a night at all hours. It seems that they were running a "business" there if you know what I mean. Which was a little scary to be around.
Simple camping in a young forest. Very quiet. There is a long gravel road with many sites. No fire rings, primitive pack in and pack out. Not really a destination campsite, but great for a stopover if you are in the area. We had no trouble finding a place for our teardrop and could even park a small camper.
Nice, quiet and well spaced primitive campground. No running water or trash pickup. 2 sets of pit toilets.
Beautiful secluded tent campsite. Long windy roads lead to the perfect destination. Sites, located on one side of the loop, are pretty secluded keeping you from being on top of your neighbor. Two sets of pit toilets are available, and of course you have War Fork Creek. Highly recommend.
