Thunder River Outdoor Recreation and Campground stands out as a unique destination due to its rich history and picturesque location along the scenic Russell Fork River in Haysi, VA. Once a bustling coal community, this area, known locally as the Splashdam, has transformed from its past, marked by a devastating flood in 1957, into a serene haven for outdoor enthusiasts. The property, which was previously home to a Clinchfield Coal Company tipple, had fallen into disrepair and was overgrown for many years. However, under the stewardship of the Hill family, it has been revitalized into a welcoming campground that offers a variety of outdoor activities. Visitors can enjoy camping amidst nature, with access to nearby swimming holes and opportunities for hiking, fishing, and exploring the beautiful landscape. With its blend of history and natural beauty, Thunder River Outdoor Recreation and Campground is not just a place to stay; it’s a gateway to adventure and relaxation. Whether you’re looking to unwind by the river or engage in thrilling outdoor pursuits, this campground provides a perfect escape for families and nature lovers alike.
