They are still closed. I rode by on the water and all the camp sites I could see look in good shape. I called the Army Corps of Eng. And they said may open in the Spring Hope they do

One of the best sites we've stayed in! Roomy sites, water, clean restrooms/showers. When we're in the area (and can) we stay here.

We come here often and stayed here after getting kicked off the blue ridge parkway due to hurricane Helene. We were one of six sites that were here for the storm. No one was injured but that beautiful park is a mess. Camp hosts Kevin and Amy lost their trailer when destroyed by a pine tree but thankfully they were in the other end. Very nice people and a pleasure to meet them. We've left 5 star ratings in the past but this time it's for the rangers, park service and volunteers that wasted no time checking on us and cutting us a pathway out, even before there was gas or a place to go to. These are pictures of the road in the first loop, the host's trailer and the boat ramp. I couldn't get through to the rest of the park. They've got a big job ahead of them but It was a five star park before the storm and it'll be a five star park when they're done.

We were very happy with the spacious campsite (Loop A #10 pull-through) right on the water. The lake was a bit low (pre Hurricane Helene).

Nice size site (7A) mostly level pad with a great view of the lake. Directly across from the bathhouse. The Bathhouse is old and outdated BUT everything was functional and cleaned. We regrettably only stayed two nights. Would have loved to stay longer.
