I recently stayed for 3 nights with my popup in site#10.  The site is a good size for a tent or small camper only.  Overall we were surprised by the campground based on other reviews .  In my opinion The sites are close together, poorly maintained, and most are very small.  The Trading Post is nicely stocked, and open all day.  The bathrooms near my site were the best part…it was modern, clean and the showers were hot with good pressure.  But other than the bathrooms everything felt like it hadn’t been maintained at all. Won’t be coming back.

Just spent 3 nights at what had been one of my favorite places to camp.  Sites are big and mostly private, and usually quiet.  Bathhouses are a bit dated, but had been maintained and cleaned.  The natural pool is a nice touch and the hiking is varied.  I was very disappointed this time, as the bathroom wasn’t cleaned since I arrived 3 days ago.  Today there was no hot water in #1, and host told me #2 showers were closed.  Not sure about #3 .  I was impressed by a quick response to an electrical issue at my site.

We camped here in mid September during a very hot week.  The staff was courteous, and the sites are mostly private.  The mosquitos were abundant the week we stayed in Site #6.  Restrooms and showers are modern and well maintained.  Lots of washers and dryers available.  The campsite was gravel and sand, with lots of large gravel stones that made it uncomfortable to walk around at times.  The site appeared to not be maintained often (lots of old leaves and weeds), but overall the park was clean.  Our site was close to the road that many county vehicles travelled, so it was not a quiet spot.  The park offers a shuttle to Charleston, a climbing wall, splash pool, many trails.  The dog park is huge with a great place for the dogs to swim.  The park store has most items you'd need while camping, and some souvenirs.  Overall it was a good experience, but I'd suggest a site more off the road if you want a quiet site.

We enjoyed our stay at Stone Mountain, especially the hiking and camping.  We stayed on a weekend, and the campground was quiet.  The B loop is nice, with most the sites having ample spacing but not very private.  Great area for hiking and waterfalls.  Restrooms were modern and clean.

Before we even got to the park we got an email from the park staff telling us our site was open and we could arrive early if we so desired.  Never had that great service before!  The campground is spread out, most of the sites are very private.  Restrooms and showers were clean but dated.  It was quite hot, so we spent some time at the nice lake beach that is part of the park.  A good spot to cool off!  Site 21 was very private, and well off the street, wide enough for the pop-up and a 10x10 canopy.    A very nice spot to enjoy a weekend.

This was my third visit to the NTSP - I really enjoy the camping, and the pool and Natural Tunnel are great fun.  Each time I've camped in Lover's Leap, and all the sites are well spaced.  Have stayed in #3 and #5, and #12 which is even more private.  The restrooms and showers are always clean, and there is a nice laundry area as well.  This trip we took a car ride to Big Stone Gap, a thriving little town about 30 minutes north of the park - it's a nice quiet but interesting town, with a nice dog park.  Took a car ride to Gate City, south of the park - wouldn't recommend it.  It's a city on it's way down.  The short ride to the Blockhouse in the park is interesting, with nice views of the mountains.  The ride and hike up and down to the tunnel is always fun.  In the summers they light the tunnel one Saturday night each month, so it's worth trying to plan for that.

We stayed in the lower section along the Doe River (more like a creek through the camping section of the park) in a nice flat site #50.  All sites in the lower section along the river are well spaced, and during our mid-week visit it was quiet.  Easy walk to the clean and modern restrooms.  Sites are well maintained and flat on the lower section.  Would not recommend the upper section, as it was very hilly and didn't see any flat sites.  Sites 40, 41, 44, 46, 48, 50 and 52 are paved; sites 37-39 are gravel.  Park rangers were courteous and provided good local knowledge for anglers.   Took a ride to Carvers Gap (en route to Roan Mtn).  Road to Roan Mtn (summit) was closed until after Memorial Day, but hiked the northbound section of the AT for 360 degree views.  Took a ride to Elk River Falls, about 10 minute car ride from park, and took the easy and short trail to the falls.   Easy ride into town of Newland for a taste of civilization.  Would return…nice place to camp.
