Fairy Stone State Park is about 10 miles west of Bassett, VA, turn off VA-57 onto VA-346. This is a beautiful state park, with great accommodations in the cabins and a very nice beach area. It is quiet, peaceful and heavily wooded. Park staff and rangers were nice and helpful. Staff also leads daily organized activities, including a day with a hunt for the fairy stones. The RV Campground roads and all sites are paved. Campground itself is surprisingly small and overgrown: no view of the lake below and no breezes. Camper sites tend to be small and most are “tight” due to trees. All sites are shaded, have picnic tables, fire rings, water and electric. Some sites also have a tent pad. A portion of the sites are pull through, even so, most of these work best with smaller rigs. Only about one-third of the sites can accommodate campers of 30 ft or longer and leave room for the tow vehicle. Bathrooms were good and kept clean. We stayed here for 3 days. Due to site size and cost, I would probably look elsewhere before staying here again.
Nutbush is part of North Carolina’s Kerr Lake State Recreation Area (SRA). Campground is typical of many state parks, especially N.C. – okay, but needs funding for upkeep and improvement. Roads are paved, but sites are gravel. Only a few pull-thru sites in camping areas 1 & 3. Sites tend to be small, most are difficult for campers over 30 feet. Sites Area 3 does have well located electrical & water hookups. Most sites are at least partially shaded and have good fire-rings; but are not leveled very well. Bathrooms were okay, and kept clean. (Area 1 sites may require 100 ft of hose to reach the water.) Weak on enforcing rules, i.e. quiet time, number people per site, alcohol use. Weak on enforcing rules, i.e. quiet time, number people per site, alcohol use. We stayed 4 days in a 30 ft Travel Trailer.
Easy access off I-77. The staff was friendly and helpful. Sites are fairly level, many that you can pull-thru to enter. Many sites have some shade. Clean campground, but not well tended. Paved roads, but the camp sites need more gravel, and leveling, i.e. tree roots and mud are issues. This is typical of a KOA with amenities. Bathrooms were clean and well lit. Free morning coffee. Pricey campground and more rules than the IRS. We might stay here again. We camped 3 days in a 29 ft trailer, with a slide-out & paid $45 per night.
Park is near Elberton, Georgia, but off the beaten track. Lots of history in this area to explore. Nice quiet campground with many RV sites on the river or have a great river. Most sites are back-ins & somewhat short for longer rigs; there are pull-thru sites. Bathrooms are average for a state park. Later in June, this park is changing to a self-registration system – no hosting. We would use this park again.
Friendly & helpful staff. Nice clean park with good paved roads & clean restrooms. Only a few sites with electricity on the lakeside. Entire campground is overgrown, blocking most views of the lake.
Nice facility. Campground was clean & well kept. Facilities were very clean. Staff was very nice & helpful. Some sites a little small. Turn at the back is a bit tight, due to little fences.
