"Very nice sites"

The above rate reflects the non-resident electric site rate, plus the $6.50 reservation charge. Even though I got the site as a "walk up" without a reservation, I was still charged for the reservation fee. First time in a Maryland State Park and... Read more

"Only good thing - it was free"

I parked in the lot south of the west garage. A huge, unlevel parking area that evidently is no longer used. When I was there, there was one unhitched trailer, another hitched (where I never saw anyone), myself and later on, a Class C with a... Read more

"New "color-coded" reservation system"

The above rate reflect the 50% Senior Pass discount. This is a typical national park campground. Large enough (some level, some not so much) driveways and ample sitting areas which offer a good to excellent degree of privacy. The largest of... Read more

"By all means camp in the Lower Campground"

The above rate reflects a 50% Passport America discount. Thank goodness. Spending $40 to stay in the upper campground would have been robbery! Unfortunately, when I was here in late June, the lower campground was closed for maintenance. A real... Read more

"Decent choices for level sites in RV loop"

The above rate reflects the 50% Senior Pass discount. If you have an RV - especially if it is over 15-20 feet - the T loop is the only choice to make here. Although a case could be made for B-11 for perhaps a 25 ft. RV as well. The T Loop... Read more

"Huge sites, most with good privacy "

The above rate reflects the 50% Senior Pass discount. As with most other COE campgrounds, the sites here are huge, nicely gravelled and fairly level. Some have long driveways to them. Some are way back off the road, some are right on the road. ... Read more

"Good one nighter if you need hookups in Blue Ridge area"

After spending over 10 days in the Smokies and on the Blue Ridge Parkway with no hook ups, I decided it was time to plug in for a day. This park easily fit that bill. Only a mile of so off the Parkway, the location was just what I was looking... Read more

"Decent choice of sites for RVs"

The above rate reflects the 50% Senior Pass discount. If you are travelling in an RV, the A Loop is the only realistic option you have here. All things considered, if the campground is lightly booked and you're only staying a night or two, you... Read more

"Choose your site carefully if you have an RV"

The above rate reflect the 50% Senior Pass discount. The ride to this camp from the Smokies is absolutely fabulous. Take the time to pull over into several overlooks, the views are sensational! Once arriving here, if you are in any type of RV,... Read more

"A mix of sites here"

The above rate reflects the 50% Senior Pass discount. As with almost all Corps of Engineers campgrounds I've been to (21 of them) you know what you will be getting as far as the attributes of the individual sites. Predictably, sites here are... Read more
