Quiet campground that has nice gravel sites. Lot of history here as the was first CCC camp in the Country. Adorable camping at $10.00 a night. The only downside is that there is no water in the camp and only ports potties.

I visited Camp Roosevelt Rec Area in July 2023 for a 2 night camp. There are 10 camp sites available and the campground appears to be very lightly used. Cost is 10 usd a night. There was not running water or flush toilets - plan to bring in your water and use the portapots. There are the ruins of the first CCC camp scattered around the campground.

There was not running water or flush toilets - plan to bring in your water and use the portapots. There are the ruins of the first CCC camp scattered around the campground. You can see where the kitchens, barracks, carpentry shop, etc. all were. It looked as though someone or some organization has recently been working to cut back the weeds on the building foundations. Really amazing to see the buildings and imagine what life was like at the camp. Plenty of nearby hiking trails and horse trails. Highly recommend if you want a quiet camping experience!

What a great campground! We stayed here twice and each time it has been a pleasure. It is a quiet campground that you can just roll into with long campsites that has plenty of space for our 23 foot Winnebago and 16 foot trailer. It has a fire pit that’s already set up for grilling and it also has a toilet area with flushing toilets and a sink. It cost only $10 a night and you just fill out the en... What a great campground!

It cost only $10 a night and you just fill out the envelope strictly honor system of course it’s patrolled by rangers to keep you honest. It’s a great option for people who want to just pass through.

Really solid place if you like primitive camping. As of 9/15/23, the bathrooms are closed and I did not see a water source. There are porta potties, however. 10 camp sites, well maintained and spread out from one another. All have their own fire pits and leveled gravel. Self-check in is $10 (cash or check). First come first served. Beautiful area, easy to get to. Very near restaurants in Luray.
