Reviewed Oct. 4, 2023

Poor Site Privacy Trumped by Superb Location

Blackwoods: Oct 2023 (Scale 1- bad, 5-Very good (70 yr olds in 17’ trailer). I rate based on desire for at least a moderate wilderness type experience w at least some camp site privacy. NOTE: Sunrise: a short walk that begins across from sites 10 and 11. Don’t miss it! Overall Rating: 3.5 overall Price 2023: $15 w interagency pass Usage during visit: 80%. Site Privacy: Not good Site Spacing: Pretty close. Site surface: Gravel Reservations: Yes Campground Noise: Quiet Road Noise: None Through Traffic in campground: None Electric Hookup: No Sewer Hookup: No Dump Station: Yes Potable Water Available: Spigots are bathrooms Generators: Allowed Bathroom: Flush toilets- clean Showers: No Pull Throughs: Some Cell Service (AT&T): 2 to 3 bars Setting: Wooded with no undergrowth between sites Weather: Great October weather Bugs: Not many mosquitoes Solar: Most sites no. Site B10 had some solar. Host: I did not see any site hosts.
Rig size: Pretty good size , but choose your site carefully if you have a large rig.
Sites: I did not walk through A loop too much, but I suspect the best sites will be the outer loop. Sites I thought were okay, not great: ours, B9 is open to the road, but trailer gives some privacy from adjacent sites. Also, A37 B4 , B 9. There are probably better sites. We packed a lot in during our short time in the park, so I slacked on even a good walk through in our loop. I’ll say that sites in the mid area of Loop A were packed near each other.
