Longwood Campground at John H Kerr Reservoir

We didn't visit the park itself so can't judge on RV overnight stays. We kindly asked if we could fill up water and dump our RV (as you can do in a lot of campgrounds for a small fee), they refused to do so.

Wife, son and I stayed for two nights and we loved it. My son instantly made friends with the nearby kids and everyone we ran into was as friendly as can be. Highly recommend! Site 61 is VERY sunny. Didn't bother us because we were gone for most of the day, but could be a problem if you plan on being at your site midday.

The spots are pretty close together so you don’t get much privacy, luckily we had a older couple next to us who was just the sweetest. We booked last minute so beggars cant be picky I suppose. We personally prefer North Bend.

Big campground on a lake. Campsites are mostly level, are various sizes and offer various amounts of screening between sites. Look at the photos.
Of all of the campgrounds in the area, this one wasn’t fully booked. I assume it’s because most of the sites are fairly primitive in that they didn’t have water (and/or electric) and that some campground loops have only pit toilets. There is only one, centrally located, bathhouse. Despite the “primitive” accommodations, the toilets, pit and running water, were very clean and the showers had plenty of hot water, were clean and drained well. I’d only planned to stay here one night, but I liked both the campground and the surrounding area so much that I stayed another night. I highly recommend this campground if you can deal with the pack of amenities.

Site 16 Left (non-electric) September 18-21, 2020 Average Daily Temp: 76 Average Night Temp: 51 Arrived on a beautiful early Fall Friday afternoon. Host was extremely friendly and welcoming. He offered great advice and information for this first time visit. Firewood is not available on site. You have to travel back to a self service trailer about 4 miles near the local CVS on Route 58. In my humble opinion, Site 16 was the best view of the Lake and has easy accessibility (see photos). Because of the low evening temps, most of the non-electric sites were empty. We basically had run of the area. Pet friendly and very well kept areas. Rock pad for parking and tent set up. Bring a pad if you plan on sleeping on the ground. Two tables, fire pit, and lantern post on sites. Boat parking available close to this site. Swimming was fantastic. Fishing was even better. Will be back.
