Most US Forest Service Campgrounds do it right. Yes, this is one of them. First off. Huge level sites. “A” loops are non-electric and are limited to tents or RV’s under 28’. Of the two loops, the larger one is reserve-able. The smaller loops is first come / first serve. “B” loop had 13 “large” level sites that are not reserve-able. The week before Labor Day the sites in this loop filled up by Wednesday. Loop “C” has 16 “huge” level sites that can be reserved. Each loop has a showerhouse. If you need to fill your water tank, as you pass the beach parking lot, there is a sign directing you where to fill. In the campground loops there are water faucets every 5 campsites “but” they have a female thread. Plenty of hiking from the campground. The lake has a huge sandy beach. About 10 minutes away puts you on the Blue Ridge Parkway at about mile marker 13. The “only” way to enter the campground with a RV is from the east on 664. Continuing west on 664 for another mile you start your assent to the Blue Ridge. You Do Not Want To Drive “ANY” RV up or down this part of 664 west of the campground. No cell service in the Campground (Verizon) but one bar of LTE if you walk up the dam by loop C. The “Quality” of each campsite is best of 99% out there.
The forest service does it right at this great park. A short detour off the Blue Ridge Parkway this is a beautiful place to stay. We truck camped on the hillside sites. No cell or data service. Rate was $16. Only comment is don't trust rec.gov. it displayed only 3 sites available but that was 3 of the reservable sites... they had plenty of walk in sites available. The RV sites down by the river were some of the prettiest we have seen. The lake is srunning too. Very nice place.
