This camp is mostly populated by long-term residents. That being said, there are a number of open sites for short-term guests. I went to camp (i.e., in a tent), and found there to be about 20 available camping (or "primitive" as they call them) sites. I was informed upon arrival that the "good site" was taken, but any of the others were open and to pick one and report the next morning the site number. Most of these sites are on a hill with paths leading down to a lake. Being on a hill, they are not at all flat. An attempt was made to level them with gravel, but you can imagine how that works with a tent. It is impossible to stake your tent, and you will be well aware of the gravel when you climb into your sleeping back. The sites were on such an angle that I found myself rolling downhill when not properly aligned with my head uphill and my feet downhill. I got out in the middle of the night to turn the tent as it was difficult to sleep at such an angle inside the tent. The "climate controlled restroom" near the sites were simple pits with wooden seats. There were normal toilet seats, but they had been ripped up by other campers. Some of the stalls were really nasty, and the rest were so foul as to be useless. This is far from the "beautiful restrooms" as described in the camp guide you are handed upon arrival. The bath house at the office was decent. The toilets did not flush well, and as such, many of the guests simply left behind remnants for the next user. The showers were decently clean, but they come to a complete stop the moment someone flushes a toilet or turns on a sink. The pool was decently sized, but constantly crowded. The water was green, leaning toward yellow, with a strong odor. There was no sign of a pump, and the normal chlorine smell was absent this pool. There was a decent amount of refuse in the pool, such as clumps of hair and band-aids. There is a boat rental option available. You can rent for $5/hr or $20 for a half day (four hours), or $30 for the full eight. I chose the half day deal, as I expected it to be an enjoyable experience. They give you a rubber plug and two oars. There are two boat options. One large V-hull boat, and a smaller flat-bottom fishing boat. Life jackets are not available. The plug we were given did not fit the larger boat, and the flat-bottom was progressing toward decay. The boat was so worn that the oars would not stay anchored to the boat, as the holes were quite well expanded from use or abuse. This boat started to take on water after a few moments on the lake, so I returned to shore and went back to the office for a refund. A younger lady was going to refund me, but the older lady, who I assumed to be the owner, gave me a different plug and said they did not issue refunds. This plug worked, but the bent oars did not provide enough drag to effectively move this much heavier boat. So, $20 was wasted, and we returned the oars and plug to the office. Our campsite lacked a fire ring, which would be considered standard at most facilities. Fortunately, I had packed a small grill, but it would have been nice to have had a campfire. Overall, the guests were nice, but this campground is overrun by permanent residents, and the facilities are in need of repair. We camped here in a Tent.

We camped here for Memorial Day weekend and our first trip in our travel trailer. Everything was great. The sites were a little close. The owners were very nice. There was a lot of activities for kids. Hayride around the campground nightly. All of the other campers we met were very nice and helpful. The pool was clean. Pool was open from 9 AM until 9 or 10 PM. Owners were around a lot and were available for what ever was needed. We will be going back again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We camped here on Memorial Day W/E. We were put out in a field where the water line supplying the campers is above ground in the sun with the water being so hot that you could not use it in the camper without running it for about five minutes, which, of course, fills up your gray water tanks quickly in a no sewer hook-up site. The power is supplied by number 6 Romex residential wire to regular outdoor receptacles...so your adapting from 50 amp plug in down to 30 amp plug in down to regular 3 prong adapter. (They charged an extra 3 dollars per night for us to use A/C.) I complained about this before I even hooked up and was assured it would be fine. I was told that the line was backed up by 60 amp service and would cause no problem. The first afternoon, with about 8 campers on the line the power tripped, on the line, about 4 times. By late evening there was approximately 20 campers using this totally inadequate service.It stayed on all night, thank goodness, but started tripping at 8:30 and tripped several times, before fire started shooting out of the side of the building where the power was supplied. We lost power immediately and, though the utility company was called out quickly, it was apparent that the problem was going to exist even after they repaired the severely damaged equipment. I worried the entire time that my A/C and other equipment might be damaged. The management did not want to hear about the problems and were not very friendly. In my opinion they were obviously trying to make as much money as possible without spending what it takes to be sure that campers are getting what they paid for. I got my money back for the remaining two nights of my reservation without any hassle and left in search of another place to stay on Memorial Day W/E. Also, many of the sites throughout the rest of the campground are very difficult to get leveled up on. There are about four showers in the somewhat clean rest room and about 5 toilet stalls. You had to hold the handle down several times to flush the toilets (which many people obviously had not done) and when you did this the water in the showers cut off almost completely. What a mess...they must have about a two inch water main coming in. These folks are trying to get by on a shoestring. I will never go back here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The campground is old and in general poor repair, the store is never open. There is no night lighting anywhere in the campground. The campground is almost full of fulltime residents, with very few sites for short term use. The reason for the lowest rating is site access, we have never had a problem getting into a site, but were almost not able to park here. After looking around we found all sites have poor access. We will not use this campground again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Wow, this is an old CG with MANY permanent residents in old trailers. I was disappointed but, we did stay for one night. It appears that there is an attempt to make things better, but there is a long way to go. I will not stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The previous reviews made us a bit nervous, but we tried Small Country anyway. It is a pretty nice place. There seems to be ongoing improvements to the facilities, which aren't bad to begin with. We stayed in orange #1, a pull-thru with water and electric. The site next to us had some loud local families, but the remainder of the CG seemed to have quieter types. I won't hold that against the campground owners. The playground is great for our little one. We enjoyed ourselves this weekend. The drawbacks...dusty roads (If the owner reads this, Please do something about the dust. It is a big turn-off to many rv'ers), and less than level sites. If we're in the area again, we would definitely be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Sites--some of the best tent sites I have seen. They are along the lake, in the woods or in a meadow, take your pick. All seemed to have a table and fire pit and plenty of space. Cars could be parked near by or on the site. RV sites were problematic. Approximately 15-25 seemed reasonably level. Most others needed some to a lot of leveling. We saw one RV up on 2-3 cinder blocks under the rear wheel. But the meadow was much more level. Down side was no trees (it's a meadow!) OK in spring or late fall, but hot in summer. Water and electric available many places, sewer added in quite a few. Most sites in the trees were quite close together, though all had picnic tables and most had fire pit. Facilities--Main restrooms were clean and well kept. Even with lots of kids there were no problems. However, for tenters, there is a "temporary" facility. Showers, yes, but also pit toilets. Some looked less inviting than others. Three dumpsters, all located on the way out. A bit of a hike, but hey, it's camping. Pavillion had tables for groups or for rainy day cards, a video game room, books to swap, pool table. Swimming pool was reasonable, though with large crowd might lose it's appeal. Lake had some growth, gut note said they were working to bring back the beach. Fun place to swim or fish or boat. Camp store well stocked with food, supplies and fun items for kids. Atmosphere--very relaxed and fun. No hassles or loud rowdy crowds. Yes, a number of seasonals there and some of the rigs look a bit long in the tooth. But no "wrecks or junkers". And the seasonals we met were friendly and helpful. The weekend we were there they had a 60's band with good music in the pavillion on Sat. night. But not so loud that we heard it at the campsite. We found staff friendly and helpful with some tourist information available. Lots of birds in the area for bird watching. We would go back under certain conditions: can we get a level site? Can we get the PPA rate again? Has the beach been improved at the lake? Biggest drawbacks are the minimal level RV sites (this could be fixed) and the pit toilets for tenters (though they could walk a bit further to the main building and flush toilets.) Don't discount this campground without checking it out. If you just want to get away and enjoy the outdoors, this may be a good choice for you and the kids. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a rustic campground located approximately 25 miles east of Charlottesville, VA. This campground has lots of fulltime and seasonal campers. A few of the campers are old but not junky. The dump station was difficult for us to get to because there are so many trees. Bathrooms were clean, at least the ones by the office were. We would stay at this campground again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

It was an old CG that needs a lot of attention. The site we had was so far from level that we had to block our wheels even though we have built in levelers. The other sites we saw were not any different. Like most places I could and did spend a night there, but no more than that. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We went to Small Country this past weekend. Man what a dump! There is a bunch of permanent units set up there with junk all around them, a mobile home on site with a wrecked, engineless car sitting out front, I saw what looked to be a grey water hole at a site that was conveniently covered with a couple of boards, they wanted $3.00 for an armload of green unsplit 10"-12" pine for firewood and there was all of ten to twelve pieces available. The store is advertised as being open 8am-8pm but you have to ring the doorbell on the mobile home to get someone to open the store. The chlorine odors in the bathroom will make you sick and I noticed that right after cleaning and throwing the "Clorox" around the countertops at the sinks were still covered with dead insects from the night before. All this for $68.00 for (4) people for (2) nights. Never again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
