Everything was fine , except the owner, very weird !
I was nervous at first when I pulled up in a camper van--the "campground" was very much geared towards seasonal campers in large RVs. However, I was able to grab one of just a couple open spots on a Thursday afternoon. The staff (and residents) were so friendly and helpful. There were restrooms with coin-op showers and also a laundry room. Knocked off one star for the lack of privacy between sites and for the price ($70+ for essentially a parking spot with water/electricity is a bit much imo--at least make the showers free! lol)
The each campsite is nice and private--I was lucky enough to get a site on the lake for my stay! The shower houses/restrooms are amazing--one big open room with a large shower, toilet, sink, bench, and towel rack. The only downside is you have to press the button for the shower to run, and it's only a few seconds each push, so you're constantly pressing a button as you're mid scrubbing. But hey--after a long day of hiking or swimming, that's no big deal!
The campground was nice and quiet during our stay, but the pit toilets near our campsite were quite rough--super smelly and an endless amount of flies flying out of the toilet.
The staff was very nice and helpful during our stay. There are a variety of sites to choose from and a bunch of things to do around the campground. The campground store also had a good supply of items, too. It sounds like the new owners are making improvements around the campground, so I'm excited to see how it comes along if I'm in the area again in the future!
Tiny turn off with spots for a few cars and a few tents. No amenities. Riverbank access
Great spot is you don't mind dry camping. Amazing views of the surrounding mountains. There are two sites and plenty of space between them. When I went (labor day weekend) there was a porta-potty about 1.5 miles down the road. Plenty of trail heads nearby. About 30 mins to downtown Greenville.
The main camping area has about 10 long narrow sites that have large rocks bordering each site. Each site is bordered by the road. There is a single vaulted toilet.
The paved area of the road ends just past the campground. Lots of people drive just past the pavement and then they turn around.
Across the road from the campground is a beautiful river. The sound of the river put us to sleep and greeted us the next morning.
My large family and I spent a week here. First, the campground is easy to find and making reservations is a snap! The owners are two of the greatest people I’ve met. They are more than friendly and accommodating. They work hard keeping the entire property neat including the bathhouse. Honestly, it’s the cleanest bathroom/shower house I’ve seen. There is a playground for kids and plenty of room at each site for them to play. My family and I agree, this place is incredible and you would be foolish to go elsewhere.
There are no sewer hookups(which is fine) but you are only allowed ONE use at dump station upon leaving the campground. I arrived with a 1/3 tanks and wanted to dump on way into park because I was staying 3 days/nights and they said ok but you can’t dump on the way out(seriously?). I asked if I could pay for a second dump and it was$30. I’ll never go back.
Very friendly and helpful
This is worse than a rest area on the Jersey pike. The area consists of a bunch of pull-ins in an old gravel pit, and two semiprivate spots that are essentially pull offs from the pavement.
No service, no water, no electricity, 1 pit toilet.
On a paved road
20+ miles to the nearest town
Pack in Pack out.
There was one spot open, and I decided not to stay due to the sound of generators and the site being right on the paved road.
This location is Beautiful, but it comes at the cost of privacy. When I first discovered this spot, it wasn't an official campsite, people just came here to swim and there was a fire ring. That was over 20yrs ago.
There are 4 sites, 3 have no separation between them, 1 is at the entrance, all are on the access road with 0 privacy. This area is overused, and it shows, sites are warn in and if there was room relocating fire pits and allowing some nature to come back would be nice. I managed to tuck myself into a private alcove of trees on the #1 site, but still was in full view of headlights and people driving in to see if there was space. The site I had was big enough that I shared it with a couple that had a small child, and they had their own section.
There are no service, no water, no electricity, no to little cell coverage. There is one pit toilet.
The access road in is rough, not for normal street cars.
Did I mention lack of privacy?
See pics.
Stopped in to try and camp here, all the spots were taken. There were even people camping in their rooftop tents.
Sites that I saw looked great, trails need some maintenance though, and some of the sites need clean up.
The Road is rough, but with care you can get there, just go slow.
There are pit toilets, but no running water or electricity.
All of the sites are walk-in sites.
Bussy place!
Great place to stop for a swim, but camping is not allowed here.
Room for a few vehicles. Small sandy stream bank, right next to the road. More flat camping tucked in back... possibly a tent site or two.
We were there for 3 nights, everything was very clean and the staff were very helpful and pleasant. I'd definitely try to go for the premium sites as they are more wooded.
Round barn campsites offers a dozen or so tent sites with two big group sites. It will pretty consistently have some campers, but I've never seen all the sites full before. It is right next to the stafford brook trail to hike to the top of Bigelow and you can easily hike from your campsite to the top of the mountain and back within a day. Multiple sites including both group sites are right on the water and there is a nice beach area big enough to accomodate however many people you bring. The best tent site is on the island just offshore accessible by sandbar which is usually just knee deep. The cove makes for safe swimming away from the wind and waves offshore. Great secluded spot where you won't feel crowded like at Baxter or Grafton notch areas.
This area was truly beautiful. Quiet and safe.
Safe and beautiful camping spot
We have stayed here several times and love it here!
The sites are beautiful, well spaced and well taken care of. The only "downside" is if you have a longer camper there are tight corners you need to be aware of in the camp roads. If you're good at maneuvering you're good to go.
On our last trip we rented double kayaks and paddled over to Brickyard Hollow for pizza and beers.
Moose Creek RV Resort is in a great location in Greenville, close to town and to ATV trails. A good amount of ATV parking across the street.
The amenities are all brand new and beautiful, including the pool side bar. The sides are spacey and range from field sites to wooded more private sites.
We have tent camped in several of the sites 4X in the past 3 years. 10/28/23 was last visit for the year. We never see many trucks or people. The sites are quiet, peaceful, very clean and outhouses are always in excellent condition. We thank the folks who care so well for the sites. We got there in a compact SUV 3 years ago, but go by truck now. The road in off the Capital Road has deteriorated a fair amount in past year, due to rains, we believe. Don't make the trip if you expect good roads, but if you like logging roads, this area is wonderful.
Jake from the Dyrt here! The Hawnets Nest is the perfect stop for adventure, accommodations include a cool A-Frame or bring-your-own Tent! Check them out and leave a review about your stay on the Dyrt!
Despite a very recent personal loss, the owners welcomed us with open arms and heartfelt greetings. The grounds and sites were well maintained. The bathrooms and showers were clean and well stocked.
When we arrived, we were given a map with available sites marked and free reign to pick the spot of our liking.
The pricing has increased from the dyrt's listed prices. We paid $40 for a tent site with elec. and water.
I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
It's not our type if place, as the sites are rather close together, but it's a nice campground. Extremely clean, well- maintained. It's obviously a labor of love by the owners, because it is in pristine condition. Seasonal sites/Community events throughout the summer. Very Vintage Vibe!!
It mentioned on this site that it's for RV parking, but that isn't accurate. There is a parking lot (which you cannot camp in) and you must walk in (tent only.) We didn't have a text so we moved on. Would go back at another time with a text to check it out.
