Wonderful find

My family went to tent camp and enjoyed our stay. We discovered others with campers that had wonderful campsites. The bathroom facilities are new and very clean. We enjoyed hiking. The location also had four bars of Verizon LTE. Amazing!

New River Delight

Primarily this was a quick get a away for us for a few days. Great internet at site 4. Sites with full hookups: 3, 7, [8, 12, 13, 14, 15 near bath house] 18, 19, 20 Bath house was nice and clean. Canoe up camp sites right along the River. Nice amenity; there are a few buggies provided at primitive camp sites to help with loading in and out. Thought we might be able to use our bikes, but unless you like steep hills and narrow roads, it’s really not an option.
