Great tent spots right on the river, nearby patio area has all the needed amenities to make any length of stay comfortable. Host is very friendly and hospitable. Fun spot for kids to explore riverbank or do some fishing, we caught and released several over a short period. Highly recommend this spot if want to throw up a tent or park an RV.

Absolutely loved this cute little secluded campground in the forest. There was absolutely no cell service, but that was a nice change. There’s no regular power hookups at the campsite, which sucked but we had a backup plan for those times. We will most definitely be back!!

It was beautiful, quiet, and dark at night. Phone service was a little sketchy but she warns about that and anyway, you're there to unplug and get away! The river is beautiful.

Camp spot in relation to the pavilion. We were able to run a 100 ft extension cord down from the pavilion to both of the tent and plug in fans. However, the weather was great so we didn't really need them.

Weekend Trip to Larry & Sheila's Blackwater Getaway
What an incredible trip! The campsite was so spacious and very private. We were the only group over the weekend, so it was very secluded. The amenities were awesome! We spend most of our time hanging out around under the pavilion, sitting by the fire pit, and fishing in the river. Larry and Sheila stopped by to check on us on the second day and recommended some great fishing spots and bait! They were so incredibly kind. We will definitely be coming back!
