Part of the Army Corps of Engineers' John W Flannagan Recreation Area, Lower Twin Campground sits near both river and lake terrain outside Haysi, Virginia, with drive-in access and electric hookups for RVs. Sites include picnic tables, and the campground has showers, a boat ramp, and allows pets and campfires. Rates run $20–$24 per night, with reservations available. One notable heads-up: copperheads and rattlesnakes have been reported on the grounds, so campers should watch their step, especially around vegetation and along water edges. Book ahead for fall visits, when demand at Corps-managed lakes in the region tends to pick up.
Description
Overview
The John W. Flannagan Dam & Reservoir Area boasts an expansive lake nestled in the rolling green Cumberland Mountains of southwest Virginia, offering visitors an oasis of recreation in the summer months.
