Had an RV site in Loop 1. Left after 2 days into a 3-day reservation. Might as well have camped at a dog kennel. Dogs everywhere, doing what dogs do. No peace and quiet. Irresponsible/inconsiderate owners. Camp hosts said this has been a problem for some time, but they are powerless to do anything about the loud dogs. Really?

This is a gorgeous park for camping. The view is stunning, there are many lake front sites if you reserve long enough in advance as we did. We discovered it last year by chance taking up a canceled spot with friends on Labor day, and returned this year the week before Memorial day. There is a significant difference between the place when in full capacity - obviously noise, crowd, and jet ski traffic on the lake. Also seems to be in transition from privately operated to state owned - when we visited this year none of the Marina services were operating which forces you to drive back to the nearest WV store for necessities such as ice etc. The facilities (shower, restrooms) were relatively clean (if you don't mind the crawlers, occasional mouse running across) but this was mainly for a lightly occupied camp, as mentioned above and indeed during the labor day weekend they were in much worst condition. So if you are geared for self sufficiency and pick an off time this is one of the most beautiful sites in VA, with an unbeatable cost/benefit ratio for a tranquil and relaxing vacation.
