Riverfront Campground

Where do I start?

We came to this campground to connect with family who was hiking the AT. We left after one miserable night. Here are some reasons:

A giant confederate flag near the entrance

Highway noise and not one but two train tracks

One Filthy “bathroom”

No shade at our campsite- despite other available sites with some shade

A trail of poison ivy on the narrow path to the river

Cigarette butts everywhere

And a creepy man on a bike who declared he was a local and wouldn’t leave our site while I was alone and insisted on talking to me about the strip club down the street, where to buy condoms and how my tent’s mesh shelf is perfect for drying out my wet panties.

We called ahead of time to reserve two sites for two nights for a bunch of people from out of state and some hikers from the AT. They said it was $35 per site per night. When we arrived we were told that we had to pay for three nights because it was a holiday weekend AND that the price was per tent. The porta potties were gross and hadn’t been serviced in a while. It was difficult to use them. During a heat wave we were given a site with little shade when several sites further along with plenty of trees were empty. The plumbed bathroom was dirty and had no soap. The shop did not in fact sell love bait, which cramped our fishing style. There is a loud rail road with constant trains on one side and a very busy highway with loud trucks on the other. The river front was lovely, but with detritus from previous campers on the rocks. We left after one night.

More of a rustic trailer park than a campground with some long term residents. Owners were nice. "Bathhouse" has flush toilets but wasn't very clean. We don't fish but if you do this might be a place for you.

Uunder new ownership & management  many upgrades , including updated bathhouse and new friendly staff

Second time here for the annual “Vanagons in the Valley” event. Water was great, the town is charming, and the hills are beautiful.

Great location with lots of riverfront sites. Pet friendly near the Appalachian trail. The propieter is also an AT shuttler. Restrooms and showers are awful. Campground needs a lot of maintenance.

Great river front location! Could be a bit muddy depending on the river. The train does run right near all night long, but I find it soothing. Bath houses are a bit rough, hence the 4 stars. Great place to kayak tube or hang out in the river. Close to Appalachian Trail. No playground.
