I found out about this campground on the Internet, and I RV camped there in October 2007.

Describe your camping trip:

This was our first trip in our new trailer and to this campground. The owner guided us to our site and told us, "When you're set up, come up to the office and settle up." The bathroom was cleaned often. Just about every time I was in there using the facilities, the owner's wife was in there wiping down the vanities. The showers were those timed-push-button-type, and you had to keep pushing it at 3 minute intervals to finish your shower, but it was no problem. My husband walked up to the office from our shaded site to purchase some fire wood. Soon he walked back empty handed and said, "How about that, the owner is going to deliver our firewood for us." Ten minutes later a dump truck pulled up, and the owner stacked our firewood. Expensive, but what are you going to do? It's not camping without a campfire. This particular weekend was "Granny Gatewood Leaf Peepers" weekend, so the campground filled up by Saturday. We had brought our dog as did just about everyone else there. Everyone was kind and friendly, as were those with four legs.
Pros: Everything. There was a movie one night, a DJ another night, a small game room, clean bathrooms.

Cons: Nothing bad, but the pool is somewhat of a hike from the campsites. Can't think of anything else.
Nearby attractions: Old Man's Cave, Rocky Boot Outlet.
Further comments: We had a great time for our maiden voyage in our new trailer. We've already made reservations to go back this October.
