We found out about this campground in a camping book, and we RV camped there in April 2009.

Describe your camping trip:

Second visit. First shared with friends in their fifth wheel. On top of hill and nice site. This time our fifth wheel at the bottom of hill. Pretty crowded. Garbage left in our fire ring from previous campers.
Pros: Price not bad. Sites on top of hill nice. People in office friendly. No charge for pets. Good garbage pick up.

Cons: Bathrooms need more frequent cleaning and upkeep. Too crowded at bottom area. Neighbor's campfire too close to our slide out for comfort. Garbage left in our fire ring from previous campers.
Nearby attractions: Lots of them and a great central location.
Further comments: Nice park and with a little effort could be super. Easy access and interstate close. I will probably stay again, but I will check out other options too.

"We stayed here in August 2009. We were first placed up on the hill but found it to be very crowded. We were then put on the lower level and were happy with the site. Although sites were a bit too close together, there was enough room. Management was very pleasant and helpful here. Mostly big rigs but there is a separate area for tents and pop ups that is along the creek. It was very quiet and campers were respectful. They have a small but very nice pool. The area is beautiful, a good base camp for many day trips. We went to Natural Bridge, an amazing spot, and the historical sites in Charlottesville: Monticello, Michie Tavern, and Ashlawn-Highland. Go to the many vineyards in the area-the tastings are inexpensive and fun, and you get to keep the glass! The Blue Ridge Parkway is a short drive away and the scenery is breathtaking. There are also hiking trails along it if you like to hike. Don't miss the gourmet wine and food store just down the road from the campground. Everyone we met in the area was very friendly and helpful. We camped in a trailer and would go back."
