Very friendly folks. A bit confusing on the site locations and getting in and out of some sites. Level areas and lots of shade. Be sure to bring extra lengths of water hose - some of the sites share with their neighbor. Roads are flat so it is good for walking, no golf cart needed. Nice area for dog walking. Wi-Fi worked well. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This campground is 8 miles north of Wytheville but worth the drive. We were able to camp right next to the creek that runs through the park. There is lots of shade. For big rigs, you can make it into the park but have to be very careful. At one point there are two pines that you go between and it is a very tight fit. The Wi-Fi was excellent and the people very friendly and helpful. Each evening after dark on our drive back to the park, we saw deer grazing along the road. The park is more on the rustic side, horses are even welcome. I gave this a park a 6 rating because it did not have paved road or sites. But it is a very nice laid-back park and more with the mountain/cowboy feel. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Perfectly suited for it's purpose as an overnight stop off I-81, this friendly campground offers level pull-thru sites with full hook ups and Wi-Fi. The climate-controlled bathrooms were clean and offered large showers with a comfortable dressing area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A very nice park, close to the freeway but far enough so there is no traffic noise. Level gravel pads and grassy space with picnic table and shade tree. Bathrooms, showers, and laundry are clean and bright. Large showers are a real plus. We have stayed there before and will in the future. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park was easy on and off of I-81 / I-77 at exit 80. Because of this most of the people there used it for an overnight stay. We used it for a weekend get away to the Wythville area. It was very easy to get to the Wythville area because of the easy access to the interstate. The park had nice level, pull through sites that were OK size. They had an in ground heated pool (wasn't open because it was October) and a Catfish pond that was pay by the pound at $2.99/ pound. Staff was nice and friendly and the manager lived on site. Park was clean and family oriented, but definitely not a destination campground. Best suited for use for an overnight stay or as a home base to see the surrounding area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We only spent one night here and that was enough for us. The park is in a quiet setting but not far from the interstate, which was nice. The piece of property is large, lightly wooded with lots of open space. Roads and sites are gravel neither are well groomed or level, depends on the site. There are many, many full time residents here, lots of trailers and fifth wheels that look like they haven't moved in years. Lots of "stuff" around them. For a site here, with no sewer hookup for $40, I'd rather stay at a Wal-Mart. We will not return here. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here overnight during the week. When we first arrived, there was hardly anyone here but by nightfall, the place was full. It is close to the freeway with easy access, but far enough so that there is no traffic noise. The park is well maintained, sites are spacious and level and there is free cable and Wi-Fi. We would stay here again but not for more than a day or two. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is the second time we've stayed at this park. It is great for large rigs (we tow a dolly) and is easy on and off I-81. The sites are large, level, and well spaced. They are easy to get in and out of and great for a one night stay. The management is very friendly and the store is well supplied. The only drawback that we found was that the bathrooms and laundry room are dated. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Only stayed one night but it was a nice place. There's lots of grassy areas for walking the dogs. It has a very clean and large bath house. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We were in site 64. Full hookups with 50 amp, table, gravel/grass. Lots of overnighters. Sites in the trees have more width and grass. Well maintained park and personnel are friendly and hopeful. Very quiet. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Close to the interstate, but far enough away to be quiet. Paved entrance and gravel roads and site, which was mostly level. Site was of average width. Extensive cable TV selections; many sites good for satellite. Wi-Fi worked well. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very well maintained park and the location is very good for an overnight stop. We were in a pull thru site. The staff was friendly and there is a store that has quite a few items in stock. I would definitely stay here again as the access to the Interstate was great. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Our last night on the road following a 3633 mile trip. Great place to conclude a trip up I-81. Much better deal than the KOA one exit down. We found this campground in Woodall's. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We have stayed here several times. Good clean campground. Lots of Interstate traffic is the only downside, someone always moving in or out. Will stay again this year also We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stopped here as an overnight stay on the way home to Ohio. It has very easy access in and out and is very clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The free Wi-Fi didn't work very well and we were fairly close to the office. We would definitely stay here again for an overnight stop but not any longer. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I found this to be an excellent campground to spend the night or to stay at if visiting someone nearby. There were few shade trees and it was more like a campers' parking lot. I saw few people outside their rigs at fires or picnic tables. I didn't see any children. WiFi worked great, better than in most campgrounds. It was quiet, clean and we would spend the night there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We agree with previous posts - this is a quality park with a reasonable cost considering facilities. The free WiFi actually worked very well, an unusual event since most parks advertise WiFi but seldom deliver. Although a great park, we were in site 8, which is next to a large security light. Along with the bright light, it buzzed loudly all night long, and was a significant irritant. Ask to stay in a site other than 7 or 8. The convenient location of this park (right off the interstate but quiet, with a Flying J next door makes it a location that we'll stay in again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We really enjoyed this park on our trip from Florida to Pennsylvania. Very easy to find from Interstate 81, staff great, and great sites available for big rigs. It was located next to a large farm with picture-card scenery of green and rolling hills. On our way trip from Pennsylvania and continuing onto the Smoky Mountains, we made a reservation for another night. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Quiet, and separated from the Interstate by a hill. There are pull through sites and excellent wi-fi. The only negative was that it was extremely difficult to level. The nearby Flying J also has a Blue Beacon truck wash that did a great job on our RV for $35. Many campers were using the campground for just an overnight. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice people in the office. Park is a little older, but the bathrooms were spotless. The park had a very charming atmosphere. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stopped here on my way down I-81 on the basis of previous reviews. Found it to be as others here have stated: clean, quiet, and easy access. I used the on-line reservation system and did not get any kind of confirmation, but had no problem when I arrived. The night I was there, it was a very popular stop for big rigs with towed vehicles. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is an easy off I-81 North, less than 1/2 mile from the exit, easy back on and there's even a gas station right on your way back to the interstate on the right side and big rig accessible. Things only get better from there. Almost all the sites appeared to be pull through, clean sites, no fire rings, some trees for shade, sites were fairly large, although not too private. Full hookups, wifi, cable, clean, heated pool, well stocked camp store including RV supplies. Definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great overnight park. Cleanest bathroom and showers I have seen. Green grassy patch and young (5 yrs?) by each site, with very friendly staff and level sites. Quiet and convenient to I-81. Would definitely stay again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very convenient off I-81, clean and well kept. Only problem is most sites are a little short for a truck with 36' fifth wheel. They fit, but the nose of the truck is starting up to the drive which is bit higher, so the rig isn't front to rear level if you stay hitched. Close enough to be tolerable for one night but not several. Had the same problem on a different site a year ago. TV and Wi-Fi are fine. About 1/2 mile from Flying J - but DON'T go to the "RV/car" area for diesel. It's tight, slow and only one diesel pump. Go to the North side of the truck area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very quiet park in the middle of Virginia cattle-country. We had a nice, level site with good cable TV. Early in the season so the campground was only about 60% filled. We had a very pleasant walk around their pond/lake that you can fish for catfish (pay for your catch by the pound). There was only one staff member at the office who had to take care of our registration while handling multiple calls. He was able to help us quite well and even took the time to fill our propane tank for us. We will definitely stay here again when visiting the area just off I-81. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We have stayed at this campground on at least 4 different stops and have never been disappointed. The place is immaculate! There is a clean laundry room, pool, restrooms, great WIFI and good pull through sites. The staff is friendly and the store is well stocked. It's perfect for an overnight stay. There are two good dog walk areas and pretty views abound. Also, we love the easy access to the highway and Flying J! This is a good halfway point from Ohio to North or South Carolina! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Rate shown includes taxes and Good Sam discount. Great overnight stop, and proximity to Flying J is a big plus. Not all sites are level so be sure to ask. There are many pull-throughs which is convenient when you don't want to unhook the car just for overnight. Would definitely stay here again on the way through this area. Excellent free WiFi, and a good assortment of cable channels. Rate is fair for the level of service provided. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is very well maintained and clean. The restrooms and showers are also very well maintained and clean. There is a Flying J station right by the park on I-40 to fill up your rig after you leave. The pull-through sites are mostly level and the hookups are very close and easily accessible. The most noise I heard was from the cows mooing on the next property over. I would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a great park for an overnight stop. Close to both I-81 and I-77. Separated from the interstates by a nice-sized hill, traffic noise is minimal. Flat, long pull-through sites allow you to keep your toad attached when you set-up. Sites are gravel. There are a few trees but not enough to provide real shade although I was unable to use my satellite. No matter, as there were plenty of cable channels. Property borders on pasture land with plenty of cattle. There is a little pond for fishing and plenty of room to walk. There is friendly personnel in the office. Many restaurants and gas stations are within a few miles drive. Overall, this was a pleasant experience. I would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We were given a nice end-spot, pull through site for our 3 night stay. Park has some grass, but has a lot of gravel and is a bit dusty. Staff was pleasant. While it has easy access to I-81 from the Ft. Chiswell exit (Wytheville is the mailing address, but the park is about a dozen miles north), the park is quiet. A Flying J truck stop is not far (but no noise from them, either). We'd stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is one of the cleanest RV parks I have ever stayed in! Even though this park was just off of I-81 you could not hear the noise from the road as a hill, with cattle grazing, provides a sound barrier. The rest rooms are immaculate! Great place to stop off of I-81. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
There is easy entrance from highway and access to sites with adequate space. The staff is helpful. We camped here for seven weeks and spent our days traveling to jam sessions and food festivals in the area. This was a good central location for seeing attractions along the Crooked Road and the Blue Ridge Parkway. We camped in a fifth wheel. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We use this campground for overnight visits. It is very convenient to the interstates and the sites are generally easy to get into and out of with our 43' motorhome. Some sites are shaded by trees and others are open - we choose open for satellite reception. Staff is friendly and the campground is maintained well. Even thought there is a FlyingJ truck stop close bye, there is very little road noise in the campground. We will continue to use this campground for overnight and short term stays. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a great little campground. Nice people at the office, clean, well kept, grassy sites and best of all it's quiet. No trains, no truck traffic, no airport. We stay here everytime we pass through the Wytheville area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is our fifth year camping here. This is a very nice park, clean, nice workers, and a convenient location. We will return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a peaceful, countryside RV park. Very clean, sites are a little narrow and short for big rigs but worth the stay. A nice dog walk, very easy access, just over the hill from a Flying J. We schedule this park as a stop anytime we are on I81. If you want a quiet, restful spot to get off the road this is the place. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a very nice park with wide streets so it was easy to pull in, check in, and get to our site. We had a pull-thru that was reasonably level. We would stay here again anytime we were in the area. Very friendly person checked us in. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
One of the nicest, stay-the-night campgrounds we have stayed in. The people are friendly; sights are always clean, and there is great highway access. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Not a bad overnight campground. However, we were put on a row facing the main road into the park. Every RV that came in would stop right in front of us on the road and go check in (even at 11:00pm). Then, they all would unhook right there (not more than five feet from our tow vehicle) – even though they had plenty of room at their site. We even had one that took their dog out and let it use the bathroom right near our rig – don’t understand why they could not wait five minutes and use their own site. If you stay here – do NOT stay by the main road into the park. Other then that it was OK for an overnight. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed in here twice. Both were just over night. This is one of the best run RV parks that I have ever stayed in. Sites are level and there is plenty of room. The bathrooms are clean. I would highly recommend this park for any length of stay. I will be back here this summer. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Gravel roads/sites with grass between sites with small concrete pad that picnic table sits on. Majority of sites are pull-thru and fairly level. Campground is mostly open with medium sized trees in between most sites. Big rig friendly. We stayed on site 27 and would return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Easy access from I-77/I-81. We also agree with other reviewers. Great for an overnight stop. There is a lot of movement in and out but it is set up for that. Well maintained grassy sites. Convenient access to utilities We camped here in a Motorhome.
Pros: Easy access. Friendly staff. Cable (which included HBO) and WiFi worked great. Cons: Close sites, not enough room to enjoy the outdoors. Overall we enjoyed our stay. The campground is great for the price. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Great campground, but very busy. Located at intersection of 2 Interstates. Constant movement in and out. Would camp there again, in fact have reservations for next year. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Quick check-in with very efficient staff. Good size pull through, but needed a lot of leveling as it was on a slope. Cable TV connection not good - picture very 'snowy'. Moved site after first night due to loud 'buzzing' noise near our bedroom window from the light outside. Owner helpful and said to choose whichever site we wanted. Good stopover location near to freeway and easy on and off. WiFi patchy, but OK. Roaming signal; no Verizon service. Would use this campground again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very nice campground. Easy access from I77/I81. We agree with other reviewers. Great overnight stop. Well maintained grassy sites. Convenient access to utilities. Very good WiFi connection. Excellent cable TV reception. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a very nice campground. Very easy to get to off I-81. Owners were very friendly as well as all the other campers . The bathrooms and showers were very clean as well as the rest of the campground. This is great for an overnighter or longer stay. I will definitely stop here again if traveling through this area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The good include, great location near the interstate, fast wifi, cleanest bathrooms I ever saw, (in a campground). I asked the owner for a more private spot and got a pull thru all the way in the rear that was to die for. Very private and felt like I had 1000 open, scenic acres to myself. The bad, gravel sites in rear of property were not level and there were quite a few flies due to the surrounding cow fields. Would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We live fairly close to this campground, and camped here to break in our new motorhome. This is a great stopover campground, as it is just off the interstate. You do not hear the interstate traffic though. The restrooms are immaculate. The sites are level, and the pool is well kept. There is a small fish pond, but we didn't use it. Dog walks are available as well. There isn't a lot going on around the campground, so it wouldn't be a great place for a long stay. However, if you are on I-81, and need a clean, quiet, easy access stop over, this campground is perfect for just that. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A good park for overnight. This park is easy to access from I-81/77, but there is a large hill between the park and the freeway which blocks much of the freeway noise, making this a fairly peaceful location. Adjacent to a farm, the park has a small catfish pond ($), a pool (closes early -- we missed it the night we were there), a bathhouse with laundry and grills. The spaces are mostly pull-through, fairly close together but wide enough for slideouts with no problem. Interior roads are gravel, except for the entrance road. Leveling was easy. We'll stay there again for an overnight if we're in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice park for an overnight. We were placed in site 68 which is at the very rear of the park. These sites have an upward slope that makes leveling the rig difficult. I decided not to run the refrigerator and did not pull out my leveling blocks as we were only over night here. The pool appeared clean but was not used as the temperature the night we were there dropped into the low 60's. It was very quiet even though we were minutes from I-77 and I-81. Very easy in and out. I would stay here again as an overnight stop. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very nice park...super clean facilites and very quite. While we only stayed one night, we have stayed many times in the past and will return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice, well maintained park. Mostly pull-thru sites, good wi-fi (free), shade trees, quiet, very easy access from major interstates, nice swimming pool and fishing pond, helpful staff. Negatives - some sites have concrete picnic tables which could not be moved under your awning, laundromat dated and has limited hours. There is a very nice, clean laundromat across highway from park that is open til 8pm each day as well as nice full service (deli/bakery) grocery store about 1 mile from park in Fort Chiswell. Best park within 75 mile radius of Blacksburg/VA Tech/Roanoke. Would definitely return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park was wonderful for our overnight stay! When we first drove in, we thought it looked a little sterile because of the lack of mature trees. However, the management was extremely friendly and helpful! The camp store had plenty of groceries and RV supplies. The restrooms were immaculate and there were three dog run areas that were beautiful and well maintained. With two dogs, this was our favorite amenity!. The one we used had a small creek running through it and the grass was well mowed as it was throughout the campground! This was also a very quiet campground with pretty views. They had cement picnic tables and benches at the sites and we had no problems getting level. Despite a night of rain, our site was not messy, nor flooded. We did not use the pool, but it looked clean and nice! We would for sure stay here again as we were very impressed. For some reason, this campground is not listed in the AAA camp book. Lucky for us, we discovered it via this site! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great location, just off I-81, exit 80; great mountain views; and friendly staff. Sites are mostly level, except for the very front of the sites. While the gravel pull-through sites are long enough for a big rig and tow, we had to disconnect to stay level; not really an issue, and we will return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The sites were fairly level and long enough, but narrow. The restrooms are very clean. The campground itself is not anything special. It is easy to get to from the interstate and is clean, so it is fine for a stopover. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We only stayed here overnight, and it was just fine. The sites were gravel, reasonably level and plenty long. There was a picnic table at each site. The staff was nice; the showers were clean; good cable TV and Wifi. Their brochure listed several other amenities that we did not see because of our short stay. We would stop here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Okay for a "stop-over" park, but I wouldn't want to stay here. The sites are open and somewhat crowded, and there is really not much to do. They do have two "fishing ponds". You could fish in them if they weren't entirely covered in weeds. They are horrible. There are fish in them though. We tried to fish and I caught one small bass (very, very small). There were some huge catfish swimming at one end of one pond, but they wouldn't bite anything. Overall, the park has all the required amenities, and everything worked, but I wasn't impressed. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed here on our stopover from Michigan to Myrtle Beach. All the sites are pull-thru. Very nice people run the campground. There is a big hill / pasture that blocks the noise from the interstate. The pastures around the campground are very nice with the cows mooing (no smell from the farms). Nice dog run areas around the campground. Pappy's Pizza across the street has the best pizza we've had in years. There is a Flying J at this exit also which is very helpful. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Excellent campground for the overnight traveler. Staff is friendly and helpful. Access to the park and to the sites is easy. Departure is also easy. The bathrooms are always spotless. And the free WiFi is appreciated. The electric was good-we used 50 amp. The cable was a little fuzzy but not bad. I was at the farthest site from the office and still had a good signal. We actually went a little out of our way to stay here overnight on our return north. Just what you need after a long day's travel. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We just spent one night here passing through. We found the park to be very clean and the gentleman at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. Due to the cold weather, we did not hook up the water and used the bath house and showers. The facilities were spotless. We will definitely be back We camped here in a Motorhome.

The front part of this CG looks to be designed for overnighters. All the sites in this area are pull-throughs. They are somewhat narrow. My 50 amp service did not work properly. My surge guard would not allow a connection. I also had a problem connecting to the Wi-Fi and the help at the desk said I would need to talk to the owner, the next day! Also, be careful if you gas up at the Pilot, I think it was a Pilot, just down the road. When we left the pumps, we dragged our rear on the egress. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice park, the staff were very friendly, came to my site to see everything was good. Only an overnight but good experience. NO WiFi. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
I stay at this park all of the time on the run from Florida to Ohio. Great staff and clean facilities. Near a Flying J for Diesel and propane also. Easy on and off access to the interstate. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Easy access for a one night stay at this CG. Site was ok, fairly level and clean. Would stop here again passing through. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was the third time we've stayed at the Fort Chiswell RV Park. Clean, roomy, easy access. Employees are super nice. Sites are very roomy. We usually go out of our way to stay here when going to Va Tech games or on our way to/from Fla. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Clean, orderly campground with wide gravel sites and very good ingress and egress. Big rig friendly. Very nice people running the park, and gorgeous mountain views. Good for an overnight or for a longer stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The sites 1 through 20 are very nice, level, shaded, large and easy into and out of. The sites on the hill, are small, crowded (no room to open your awning) and out in the open. It's like night and day between the two areas. Ok for overnight (espically in the first 20 sites). We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a nice little park. Clean, tidy and they have very nice staff there who are willing to work with you on problems. We found this park to be a nice little weekend get away and is simple to get to off I-81. Big Rigs will appreciate this place as its very easy to maneuver around as the park is laid out nicely. There are some shrubs, trees and the park looks out over a horse farm. The views are quite nice from there. We enjoyed this place. It isnt one of those parks where its loaded with kids activities but rather one of those parks where you can sneek away for a nice quiet weekend. We are heading back in November. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great location off I-81/I-77. Same exit as Flying J. Registration was easy. If you came after office hours, just find a site for the night & catch the office staff first thing the next morning. There was a small store in registration office. Only thing that I wish would have been different, was the pool hours. Closed at 7 pm. Great dog walks/very pet friendly. Grounds clean & well maintained. Fishing pond and looks like they were building small cabins. Good location for mountain sightseeing. Lots to do in local area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very nice place to stay if you're just driving through. Easy access to I-81 and nice big open sites. Friendly employees and good store on site. We stayed 3 nights with a 16 month old, so we ended up going elsewhere for entertaining our child. Not a very good place for kids. They have a "playground", but all the equipment is rusty and not very safe. Still a nice place. A bit "parking lot-ish" but nice. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a great campground to use for an overnight stop. The staff is very friendly, and the campground is well-maintained. The bathhouse is the cleanest and roomiest we've ever used. Will definitely return if in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Easy access from I81 and I77. Nearby Flying J always has cheapest gas/fuel on I81 in
Virginia. Sites level, wide and easy access. Spacious showers and extra clean bathhouse. Nice area for walking pets. Nearby restaurant will deliver to
camp site, menu available in office. Lack of trees was no problem in winter, but could be hot during summer. Excellent place for one night
stop. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Stayed here on our way to NASCAR races in Charlotte. Like other reviews found the facility very clean and the staff friendly. The sites were good size and we found the place nice and quiet at night, even though it's just a minute off the freeway. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I endorse this park as a place to over-nite. It is a simple and quick on-off from Interstate 77 and 81. 24 hour service stations are nearly adjacent to the park, but we noticed no excessive noise. As we do not unhook, an Italian restaurant is near enough to walk to or they deliver at no charge. We use the campground as a half-way stop, both going to Myrtle Beach and returning to our home. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

CG is close to I-81. Sites and roads are gravel and in good condition. Some road noise from I-81 and Hwy 52. RV store has a very good stock of everything. Two small fishing pond's on site. Staff was nice at check in. Things to do for the kids. Most people would be happy here. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Easy access from I81. Exceptionally clean EVERYWHERE. Pastoral setting. Nice people. Camp store with good prices (had to replace a water pump, price $10 less than RV dealer across road.) We camped here in a camper.
Campground is away from the highway in a quiet setting with many shade trees. The restrooms and showers were clean and staff were friendly at check-in. The pull through site had easy access and accommodated our trailer and vehicle with room to spare. But, the pull through sites were packed fairly close together and the previous camper had left a mess at the sewer connection on our site. This was an overnight stay for us. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Pulled in for an overnight stay on way home from Branson. Sites are awning to awning and units are crammed in like sardines in a can. Not sure if two units facing each other could have both awnings out, it was so tight. Luckily our neighbor did not have a slide so we were able to put ours out. Never encountered sites so extremely close before. Pool was nice, had a slide for the kids, but it closes early. Playground was lacking in equipment. Restrooms were ok, fairly clean. Would not stay here again simply because of the tightness of the sites. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is the first poor review I have ever left. I called several times to get a reservation. Each time I got an answering machine. I left messages and never got a return call. I took a chance and stopped in person. They had water and electric pull through available and after traveling all day I took it. The roads in this campground are very narrow and poorly maintained. There are overhead tree branches that were very close to my trailer roof. The sites are poorly marked and I had to have my daughter get out and search for the correct site. The site way out of level and I had to pull my 5th wheel all the way to the front to get it level. This meant I had to unhook because my truck was out in the road. Because we were only spending the night I had hoped to stay hooked up. The electric, water, and cable hookups were all the way to the front of the site. My electric cables were short and I had to go down and purchase an extension cable. The staff was not friendly or courteous. At $52 I expected a lot more. We will never stay there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a clean campground with all the normal amenities. The pool was open and clean, but we did not use it. We loved having face to face sites. We went with 2 other couples and faced one of them. It makes going from camper to camper so much nicer. The game room was a little run down and really needed some new games, but ok for the short weekend we were there. The batting cage needs some work!! A face lift on it would be great. The staff was friendly and the sites were level. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Park was winterized due to snow & cold weather, discount applied as water was turned off. Great bluegrass music in evening, sites are gravel but slightly sloped to one side even though the ground was covered in snow. Easy access from highway, but watch the overhead limbs turning into the park. Pet friendly, had 2 enclosed dog runs. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The sites are not well cared for. Leveling our travel trailer was quite difficult due to loose gravel with soft substrate. We had to re-level twice in 24 hours due to settling. Otherwise an adequate location. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
A nice clean park. The pnly problem is that all of the full hookup sites are side by side, that is one RV faces one way next RV faces the other, leaving about 4 feet between units for both units hookups. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Stayed here twice, once on the way down to Myrtle Beach and once on the way back. Stayed in the same site both times. Plenty of activities for the kids. Staff was helpful and kind. Activity center had a wide variety to chose from. Only reason it gets dinged is a) its kind of off the beaten path and not easy to get to with big rigs and b) the site was not that level, not easy to level the trailer. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This KOA is one of the worst parks I have ever experienced. The pull through sites were no more than 20 feet wide and just long enough to hold a 40 foot motor home without the dingy. After slideouts were out on my unit and my neighbors, there was no more than 4 feet between us. There was no grass on the site. It was all dirt. Needless to say, due to the narrow site width, we could not extend our awning. At least 24 hours before I was to leave, I went to the office to request that two small limbs that were going to rub the top of my coach on departure be removed. They said they would "make note of it". They did not cut the limbs and I had no choice but to pull out under them. I am sure they rubbed my AC units as I moved out. If KOA had standards for the quality of their parks, this park would be out of business. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great family fun. Kids had lots to do in cg. Pool and waterslide were clean and fun. We camped in the back of cg, tent site,and it was a little bit dusty but had lots of shade. Better site in park are in the front, lots of grass and shade. Also, they are close to pool and playground. We wiil return soon! We camped here in a Tent.
Nice campground. Lots of amenities. We stayed in site 48 with a 29' motor home and had plenty of room. Very large site with room behind it to tie out your dog away from the other campers. The very large fenced dog run is great. Plenty of room for exercising even the most active of dogs. Wi-Fi was AWFUL. The only way we could stay connected was to sit at the front desk in the office. Staff didn't have a clue how to fix it and didn't call for tech support despite repeated requests to get the Wi-Fi fixed. They just kept rebooting the system. This place would have rated a 10 if not for the Wi-Fi issues. If Wi-Fi isn't important to you and you have kids who want lots to do, this is a good campground. Pool with a water slide, nice large game room/activity building with indoor/outdoor mini golf, snack bar, arcade games, etc. Very family-friendly and dog-friendly. Office staff was very friendly. But, for us, due to the Wi-Fi issues we probably won't camp here again. No quicker way to ruin an RV trip than to have a teenager constantly complaining because they can't get online to chat with their friends back home. Too bad because, otherwise, we really like this campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We have a small class B with no bathroom, so it was great to get a spot across from them. We just needed a place for an overnight stay and everything was smooth and nice. We came in late, but it was obvious they had a lot of activities set up for the weekend. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Typical KOA. Sites are stacked on top of each other.. not where close to level. First site they tried to put me in would have had my truck either sticking out in the road or nose down about 10 degrees... asked to move to a more level site and while they did, they were not to happy to do so.. won't be back We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This KOA site gives new meaning to KOA. Don't waste your time. Gravel roads and sites....leveled by Helen Keller. If you love rednecks this is the place to stay. This place is garbage. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We liked this park. Very nice owners, but they close up at around 6PM and if you need anything, there's no one there. The Wi-Fi wasn't working but it worked the other time we were there. OK place to spend a couple days. We'd stay there again. Small lots if you have a fair sized rig. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Easy access from interstate. This campground must be beautiful in the summer. There are plants all over the place. Sites are quite close together but there aren't a lot of campers in December so there was at least one space between us and another camper. Restrooms appear to have been redone and are sparkling clean. Pool and slide for during the summer. Very congenial and helpful owner is working on putting in new, larger sites and a pond. Other than current lot size, the only negative is that the dumpsters are some distance from the camping area. We will stop here the next time we're in the area. We camped here in a Campground Cabin.
First, the good: Kids of all ages will love it here - from toddler through teens. Go carts a short distance from campground, as well as par 3 golf. Campground amenities include the bomb of all game rooms (huge arcade, batting cages, indoor miniature golf, and play area for toddlers and preschoolers); basketball court, horse shoes, volleyball area; and swimming pool with slide. All of these things are in wonderful condition. We first visited here in 2002 under the previous owners and then it needed updating. The new owners are doing just that and everything looks good. The bathrooms are clean (although, one more bath house would be nice). So, why not a perfect 10? The full hookup sites are really small and I mean small. Really, I think it would be better to put two sites into one and then they would be average size. True, they wouldn't be able to accommodate as many campers, but the campers would not feel like sardines. The employees were quite friendly and helpful. Even though we camped over a holiday and the campground was packed, everyone completely behaved and kept up with their pets. Yes, we will go back, but during a less crowded weekend. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Have to agree with other reviews - the sites are way too close. We could reach out our dinette window and touch the popup tent camper next door. I can only imagine what they heard. We shared a fire ring with our neighbor on the other side. If they closed down about half the sites, it would be a much nicer campground. The first KOA we stayed at that didn't escort us to our site, and the only one that really needed it. We will stay somewhere else next time. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We used this KOA for an overnight stopover. Friendly staff at checkin. Park was very clean. Roads to the campground are well marked, but narrow and tight. The campground is located on the side of a hill, and we had a steep climb to our pull thru site, however, the site was level and long enough that we could leave our towed pickup truck connected, which was super convenient. Campground is not far from a busy part of I-81, but it was nice and quiet the night we were there. We would stay there again if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
When we first drove into this park, we got a positive impression. It's clean and nicely wooded. However, when we got to the site (one of the pull throughs near the office), it was barely big enough to squeeze our motorhome into. Once extended, our slide was about 6 inches from the neighbor's slide. One of the wheels is completely off the ground after leveling. The neighbor on the other side is facing the opposite direction so we had to share a picnic table. I would not stay here again if there was a decent alternative. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We camped here overnight in a 43 foot 2006 MH. We were not able to level our rig on the site, no matter what we tried. The girl in the office was on the phone and seemed too busy to answer our questions. We were told twice that wireless was available but we could not connect. They are in the process of renovating their store/reception area. Good for an overnight stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Staff very nice and helpful. Sites to close together. Very few septic hook ups and they were all close to the back of the office. Wi-Fi did not work outside of the building. We arrived with reservations and our friends were supposed to be across from us. We wound up on separate ends of the campground. Owner would not allow me to rent a golf cart next door to use even though there were a lot of other campers there with their kids driving theirs. On the plus side the restrooms were kept clean, witch we needed because the water pressure was to low, 10 psi on top of the hill. Lots of activities for everyone. Over all it is a nice park that needs upgrades and the new owners seem to be working hard on that. We like the place but won't go back as a destination but would use it for a stop over. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was an OK park for an overnight but I wouldn't consider it for an extended stay. It was a stopover for us between Michigan and Myrtle Beach. Convenient enough location right off the freeway and staff were all very friendly and helpful. Full hook-up sites were extremely tight, some of the smallest I've ever seen. Sites further back with just water and electric are nicely shaded but a bit unlevel. Facilities are a bit dated and need some work. Playground was pathetic, very outdated equipment. Fun center had several video games but many were out of order. Indoor batting cages were also not functioning correctly and were being worked on when we visited. Pool was closed due to some sort of incident earlier in the day, but we don't know the exact reason. Next time we will probably try Ft. Chiswell RV Park and see how it compares before staying here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We agree with previous posters that new mgmt seems really nice with big plans for the future. We also can understand that it's difficult to get everything fixed up from the previous owners right away. However, they really need to focus on three specific items. First, regrade the sites. They are too unlevel. Second, eliminate the side by side sites. There are two rows of the most crowded side by sides I've ever had to stay in. Since this KOA's wifi only worked in the side by sides we had to accept this crowded situation. Third, add a couple of extra towers so wifi can work in the much nicer, wooded sites further away from the office. When these three improvements are made it could get a 9 ranking, in my view. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground is a very good location for an overnight off I-77 and I-81. It is also a good home base for vacationing in the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains of southwestern Virginia. The new owners are friendly and helpful, and the campground is very clean. However, the big rig pull throughs are not very level, and they are so narrow that our neighbor could not put out his awning at the same time as we did. We spoke with several other campers who had the same problems with leveling and with the narrowness of the sites. Hopefully, the new owners will address these problems, as they seem to be mentioned frequently. We stayed for 8 nights, including Labor Day weekend, when the campground was packed. We hope to return to this area -- the hiking and biking were awesome -- but we will probably try out a different campground next time. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The campground is under new owners and they have improved the cg. I talked at length with the new owner and he has plans to renovate and add to the campground, it will take him about a year to finish most of it. Very Friendly atmosphere. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This campground is under new extremely friendly management. There are some great activities for kids however the management will nickel and dime you on most of them ($2/day to use the pool slide). Pool is free. The site that I stayed in was great and was shaded with free wifi, free trash pickup, and free cable television. Management assures me that for every 2 sites now, the future will be only 1 site so the sites will become large. I think that this is a great place to stay with hiking on the appalachian trail just minutes from the site and a very nice Wal Mart/Lowes not too far as well. I would highly recommend this campground for all RV'ers. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
OK if you're passing through, but I wouldn't stay here more then a day. The crown jewel
arcade building I spent 3.5 minutes in. There were horse rides which my daughter Loved! sites tight, weed patches everywhere, very unkept, building deteriorating, trash in the flower beds right outside the main office door. Plenty of other campgrounds along the I-81. Usually stay in a fifth wheel but was passing through and tried my first cabin, very nice but miss the bathroom comforts of my RV. We camped here in a Campground Cabins.

We stopped here on a return trip from the beach. The only reason we stopped here was
because it supposed to be close to the interstate. After arriving here and paying the very high 33.00 fee for only water and electric we knew we would not be back for any reason. There are other options which are by far better and not as expensive. Also the sites are very close together. If the RV beside us let out their slide ours would touch and we probably could not let ours out all the way. They advertise .5 miles off the interstate which is not right. It may be .5 miles the way the crow flies but driving it is farther. They also advertise a night fee of 22.00. They fooled me once but never again. If it were my only option I would not stay here again!

little close. Bathrooms adequate. I would stay here overnight again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Dirty back-to-back narrow sites where tv is available. Hard to access and impossible to level, even with levelers. A prime example of overrating of KOA campgrounds. The Fort Chiswell campground is vastly superior, if lower rated. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Sites were very close together. Roads were dusty making it difficult to sit outside when vehicles traveled in and out of campground. Lots of activities for the youngsters. Dinner could be ordered ahead and delivered to your site. We camped here in a camper.
