Small but good location

This campsite is very small and you can see everything going on in almost all of the other sites, all of the time. Aside from that, well kept, friendly camp host and a short drive from Blue Ridge Reservoir (C.C. Cragen). Has been fully renovated in the past few years will all new tables and tent pads.  Must be a creek bed nearby as there were a lot of gnats and other bugs in the evenings/mornings.

Only one set of toilets for the entire site so this can get busy.  Short drive to Clint's Well for supplies if needed, including water and firewood.

Camping on wheels

We are pretty new to camping and I haven't been to a ton of campgrounds but in all the campgrounds that we camped at this is by far the most accessible if your a chair user. Each campsite had a grill, the campsites were locked off with cemete in perfect boxes for your tent and hanging out area around the campfire. The staff was extremely nice. They came to our campsite and talked with us about the facilities. Only down side is that the lake is not accessible at all if you can't walk. There is only a boat ramp no rocks or anything to sit on if you just want to go fishing. You definely need a boat of some sort.
