Hibernia Campground is part of the Kerr Lake State Recreation Area (SRA), and is located at the end of Hibernia Road, off Route 39 in Townsville, NC. This year I selected site 104 (W/E) and was pleased with the level site, graveled drive and camp pad. Pad featured fire ring, lantern stand, picnic table in good condition. Lake levels vary depending upon rain to the north/west, as well as how much water is let out of Kerr via the Kerr Dam to sustain Lake Gaston at its proper height. Sites 100-107 or thereabouts have been set up with 4x4 framed driveway, and framed pad, with rock (rip-rap)(lake side) to protect the sites from being washed out. Some sites are situated/rocked with easier access to the lake than others, but they are level! While there, the lake seemed to shrink and the beach expand about 1 foot a day, but, due to the activity at the nearby boatramp, the lake bottom was not murky from our site. Water was very comfortable for swimming or just a refreshing dip. Park features a nature trail (Plantation Trail) taking you to the site of the original Plantation as well as family cemetary. Very large park with mostly lake accessable sites - bathhouses on each loop, clean and maintained. Boat ramp and area for trailer storage. Gate personnel were very accommodating. Nearby is RJ's Country Store which has camping/fishing merchandise. and a newly added deli. About 1 mile south on Route 39 is Chuck's. Both sell gasoline, and propane trade-in. (Only place locally to get refills is store at corner of Nutbush and Satterwhite Point Road). Wal-mart is about 15 miles south off I-85, many eateries in Henderson (Dabney Road exit off I-85). Clarksville, VA is an easy drive of about 17 miles north on 39, north on Route 15. Best eatery - Middleburg Steak House on Route 158 in Middleburg, NC. Nice Antique stores in nearby Warrenton, NC as well as 'Virginia Avenue' in Clarksville, VA. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We stayed at the Bullocksville CG. It was clean and quiet. There was an excellent view of Kerr Lake. The staff was attentive and courteous. All in all we enjoyed the weekend stay there. The cost for the water/electric sites were $20 but we got the senior's rate of $14 per night. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I stayed at Hibernia Campground, part of the Kerr State Recreation Area, on site 95, with water and electric hook up. Site was level side to side on gravel pad, with good view of the Lake and a nice amount of grass between pad and rocks before the beach. When I went down mid July to check sites and reserve, the lake was very high, with picnic tables and fire rings under water at many sites. Upon arrival 7/28, lake was 'back to normal' with nice beach, and picnic tables have been replaced. Noticed lake shrinking about a foot every 24 hours and did hear a rumor that the lake is being pumped for Newport News. Restrooms/showers were clean and well maintained as were all of the grounds in the various camping areas. We enjoyed our walk on the Plantation Trail, and visited the cemetary of the Hargrove Family who migrated from England in the 1700's. Great place to camp. Two stores within 5 miles - RJ's Country Store (formerly Hibernia Shell) and Chuck's Shell both on Route 39, one at Hibernia Road, the other at Townsville Landing Road. We did enjoy Middleburg Steakhouse in Middleburg, and also tried 'The Olde Place' in Townsville, which was nice. There's a Walmart off Dabney/Rt. 85 as well as fast food joints, etc. all around Henderson, NC. We took a trip up to Clarksville, VA and enjoyed eating at the Lamplighter, visiting Occoneechee State Park, and Virginia Street Mall. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We stayed in the JC Cooper Campground at Satterwhite Point on four camping sites, 48-49-50-51. The weather was hot for this time of year. We had access to the lake with one of our sites being right at the lake. I have a 33 ft TT and was able to get a site next to the road and was able to back into it very easy. Our water hook ups for all 4 sites were at the front of my camping site #49. You need to make sure you have at least 50-75ft of some type of hose. I used a 50ft. garden hose and only used the water for showers and pottie. I also had to connect my 25ft white water hose to be able to connect to the TT. A friend came up on Friday and he had to tie into my water line with a splitter to get water to his camper on site #48. So make sure you have long length of hose with you for water hook-ups. The power box had 30amp, 50amp and a 20amp duplex plug in it right next to my slide out. With us using 4 sites we had a great time this weekend. This was a quick last of summer get together before all our kids go back to school. We had over 35 people at our Saturday night potluck dinner. We will return and hope the weather is cooler and the fish are biting. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
