This was a great little creekside RV park with full hookups, a good location, a relaxed environment, a nice host, etc. We didn't have any issues pulling our small RV into the lot. It is understandable why the bath house had to be shut down (locals coming and trashing it), but it would have definitely been great to have the bath house as an option for the morning when we had to pack up and leave. One afternoon, it had rained a lot, which made the creek flow really well. While we didn't go tubing ourselves, a lot of families with children really enjoyed tubing down the creek. We loved how close this RV park was to local trails and other nature. Would recommend! :)

Great little campground, close to everything in Damascus. Only issue is with the entrance to the campground. FIFTH WHEELS BE WARE! Entrance needs lots of repair and angle into campground changed. Damaged my fiberglass end cap while turning in.

This place is a gem. My wife and I love this place. There is no bath or showers there but that's why we have a camper. I myself love fishing your right on the creek and the creeper is a must do you can rent a bike down town and ride the trail.

Great location, convenient to the Creeper trail and the Main Street with shops. We could easily walk to Creeper trail shuttles and dining options. Owners were very nice and easy to work with.

Nothing to write home about, but serves a purpose. If you need a place for a night or two it's great. Nothing but full hook ups.
