Nothing but good things to say about this campground. I would say the only knock would be the directions. I was traveling east on 70 and I saw a sign to exit #73... A bit far and down small back roads. I would have prefered to have exited #76 (Hoods Mill Road) which worked just fine. Small roads (I have a 34' 5th wheel) and one tight turn but a better route in my opinion. If you leave the campground and use Hoods Mill Road you will see a sign stating a 13% grade ahead. It may be true but very, very short and I really don't believe it would come into play for anyone. The grade is no big deal. I would look forward to staying here again.
Strictly a place to sleep for the night. No frills with easy access on and off I81 (exit 118). It works somewhat fine for us as we can leave after work and get 3 to 4 hours down the road before nightfall. We are located in Hickory NC. The complaints regarding the managers not answering the phone and door are well founded. I spoke with one of the seasonal campers who stated that it was difficult to speak with anyone... I was concerned about leaving without a receipt (cash in a envelope at the front door) since it left me without proof of payment. I may stay again but would like to find another easy spot to jump into for the night around Roanoke VA. Denny's is within walking distance as it is located pretty much at the entrance of the campground.
Where the dogs have there day... Great spot that is geared for the pets. Huge fenced in areas e.g. 1 acre or such. Ponds and streams for the dogs to cool off and a obstacle course both pro and beginner. Very good management who are more than helpful. Saturday night they had a nice feed for those of us who elected to pay for in advance. It was a nice get together. Dogs pens for both large and small to keep them separate if needed. I liked this place for several reasons, 1 it is only an hour away for us, 2 nice roomy sites, 3 good people, and 4 a place that truly welcomes the pets... Oh, I have 3 dogs! Regards, Lee
