What a pretty campground!
Campground is clean, level and well maintained. Grass was freshly mowed, roads flat, graveled and free of ruts and puddles. The building were all in good repair with fresh paint and no trash. A covered pavilion is present in the center of the camp with picnic tables, accent lights, and an actual porcelain farm house sink for cleaning dishes. The pavilion had multiple outlets for charging phones or things like e bikes.
One of the highlights of the park was a new concrete block restroom, with lights, fresh paint, actual flush toilets, sink, hand soap and a solid locking door. No need to dodge cobwebs in an open outhouse. There is a shower with hot water that I did not use.
The area itself is very quiet and peaceful. Tall, mature trees and a babbling brook providing sleeping music along one side of the park. The park provides a rack of split firewood. There is an abundance of downed firewood in the area for the necessary kindling. Each camp site has a well pump, metal fire ring and full sized picnic table. The fire rings are a perfect height for a cooking grate.
The campground is located on an absolutely beautiful stretch of the Greenbriar river. I booked this particular campground because it is centrally located on the 77 mile Greenbriar river bike trail. The campground is about 12 miles north of the Droop mountain tunnel, and 20 or so miles south of the Sharp Tunnel and bridge. The bike trail is extremely beautiful and follows the river. The riding surface is hard packed dirt that is well maintained, with numerous bridges and tunnels to ride through. I camped the second week of October and the trees were just starting to show their fall colors
I booked RV campsite #7 to ensure electrical connection for our ebike chargers. That proved to be unnecessary due to the outlets in the pavilion. The RV panel had 50 and 30 amp RV plugs as well as a dual 120V outlet
There is a nice store that offers minor bike repairs within walking distance of the camp. Their coffee was quite good, the store was clean and staff friendly .
Take note the campground is in a valley with no cell service. It is a 10 minute drive to higher ground to find service. I would suggest downloading off line maps to your phone for the surrounding drive in. We drove in from the north via 220/93/28, a gorgeous drive by the way, and nav data was intermittent.
There are plenty of gas stations in the surrounding area. The town of Marlington, a few miles north, has full facilities, including a sporting good store and an interesting looking restaurant that we didn’t get a chance to explore. There are also some rental cabins on the river right outside the campground, in case one needs a respite from bad weather.
I would recommend taking in the views from Droop Mountain battle field a short drive away. Very nice.
Highly recommend this campground and may make it a regular event!
