My boyfriend and I rode down from PA over the Labor Day weekend unsure of what we would find. We…read morewere pleasantly surprised to find a small, well manicured open field with a large bathhouse, 2 cabins and a fire ring. We were the only tent campers there so we had our choice of location. We found the bathhouse to be immaculate with a single huge shower stall - separate sides for men and women. There are also a washer and dryer and a gas grill available for guests to use. Windy, the proprietor, is a friendly and extremely knowledgeable guy. The campground is near "The Snake" and the AT. Be aware that the town consists of 2 businesses. A small diner with good cheap food and a general store that sells fast food type things. These businesses only accept cash.

Campground at the top of the Virginia Creeper Trail. Tent and RV sites with hookups. Our site had…read moresewer hookup, but it was so far in the back that we would have needed three hoses to access it. There is absolutely no cell service, though they had free WiFi at the office and dining area. The owners also manage an on site cafe open Thursday through Sunday morning. We tried the Greek Pizza (though you need to preorder) on Saturday night and had biscuits and coffee for breakfast the next morning. Campers were recommending the scones, but they were already sold out by 9 am. Easy access to the trail, so no need to put your bikes on the rack to get to the White Top station. You just cross the street, turn left and hop on the path to the Virginia Creeper Trail. For those who do not want to cycle back up, there are several bike shuttle services to choose from. We stopped at Main Street Sweets and Eats in Damascus mid way through our ride. Don't miss the opportunity to grab a cold brew coffee, cookies and ice cream to get you through the second leg of the trail.

This is a great campground. The views from our site were magnificent and we had both sun and…read moreshelter. The showers are the best I have ever seen in a campground: hot water, lovely shower heads, beautiful and accurate amenities. We got breakfast both Saturday and Sunday. Homemade biscuits or bread, with sausage, or bacon, egg and cheese. They have artisan coffee! The sites have water and electricity. THERE is wifi at the office and relaxed indoor and outdoor seating there. The owners are delightful and knowledgeable about everything from gardening to music to outdoor adventure. This area needs the business with so much damage the Creeper Trail. These roads are great for biking. We saw very little traffic. We drove to Damascus, about 30 minutes, and took shuttle to Abingdon for a great ride back to Damascus. THERE is no food on that TRAIL and ingredients for fresh food was hard to find overall. Some light snacks at the Alvarez station which is about half way to Damascus. The Wicked Chicken in Damascus is great.

Just spent a wonderful weekend at Lake Haven family campground. Lynne and Chuck were great hosts,…read morevery attentive and informative. Campground is new, clean, spacious and provides spectacular long range views and wide open night sky viewing. After enjoying the sunsets we sat by the fire evenings (firewood provided) and saw a few shooting stars. Great hiking close by--loved the Laurel Falls hike. At the suggestion of Hellbenders outfitters went kayaking on Wilbur lake which topped the list of best things we did all weekend. Simply spectacular. We planned to eat in so cannot speak to local restaurant scene other than we did stop for a snack at Big Dan's Bbq in Elizabethtown and it was very good. Would have liked to try the brewery next door but it didn't open until later. We didn't even get a chance to check out Watuga Lake other than drive around a bit and it looks beautiful. We are already planning our next trip and will definitely stay at Lake Haven campground again.

Brand new campground. We were able to choose our site, which had full hook-ups. All utilities were…read moreeasily accessible on one side. New firepits and picnic tables. Nice breezes in afternoon and evening. The owners provided valuable information on local events and activities. We went to Walmart for our 3-day non-resident fishing licenses as we're from Minnesota. Our guide was a pro! Lots of Lake trout. Close to Dollar General for ice and last-minute items. We found it easy to wind down at the end of the day as it's quiet. This campground is pet-friendly, too. Wish we'd brought our dogs. Five-star location and amenities.

A couple minutes later they called me back. Unfortunately they had no spaces but referred me to another campground and luckily they had a spot for us. Even though we weren't fortunate enough to stay at Hampton RV we were very impressed with their customer service. Thank you so much Josh! You went above and beyond to make sure we had a place to stay. The next time we are in the area we will be sure to stay at your place!

Couldn't find much info about the campground online anywhere so figured I'd post a review to help…read morethose looking! We wanted to spend time hiking in Grayson Highlands & were late to the game on Labor Day weekend & all the camping was booked. After some digging we found this place & it was about 25 mins from the park & an easy drive. If you have ATT there is no service. We lost it about 30 mins before arrival. Our GPS still worked & it was nice to unplug but just a heads up. The important highlights: -Bathrooms are clean & well maintained. -Showers are hot & we never had to wait. -Must pay in cash -Dog friendly. My dog could be offleash & run around. No major roads around & very laidback. -The sights are right by the water so you can hear the creek & the views are nice -each site has a picnic table & firepit. The campsites are pretty close which was hard when 3 carloads with about 15 people showed up & made camp at the site next door. They weren't particularly cognizant of their noise levels & we couldn't sleep until around 11 when I finally went out to ask them to please keep it down. They only stayed one night & that's just par for the course sometimes with camping. The next night was much quieter & we slept great. All in all a great campground. An hourish from Boone & Blowing Rock. Bring supplies in as there aren't any major grocery stores around. Would stay there again if we were in the area.

This park is exactly what I was looking for. I live full time in my camper van and wanted a place…read morethat I could park and not have to drive to get groceries, go to the post office, do laundry... etc. BUT I also wanted a place that was quiet and still felt like I was in nature. The park is designed so that each lot has the creek behind it. Right outside my window I have a beautiful view and a lovely sound to fall asleep to. Each spot has its own picnic table and a nice level gravel ground. It also is in walking distance to the Virginia Creeper Trail! If you don't know what that is, check it out! Another fabulous thing about this park was that my Verizon Cell service was clear enough to stream television online from abc.go.com. YAY! You will need to have your own bathroom and be fully self contained in your vehicle. The price is affordable! I don't ever use all the stuff that KOA's and resorts have... but end up paying for all of it. This is nice because it has a little more of a "camp" feeling and you don't have to sacrifice your whole months paycheck. LASTLY - Damascus is SUPER friendly! EVERYONE says hello when they walk by. Seriously, 1 out of every 50 people say, "hi, how are ya?" And check out the Blue Blaze Cafe... surprisingly good food in such a small town. Burger is dee-lish! OH and one last thing! I came for Trail Days but ended up staying a whole month. I pretty much have the whole place to myself, too! It's super relaxing and sorta nestled behind a quiet little neighborhood street. The walk into town is about 15-30 min depending on how fast or where you want to go. It's a pleasant, safe, and pretty walk. I wish there were more parks like this all over. I have a 22ft sprinter van conversion, by the way.
