Very private! Only three sites. There are tables, fire rings, and a pole for lamp. There is only one toilet near site White. The Campsite is between the road and the creek. Each site is far enough so that we didn't hear anything from others.

This was once one of the nicest campgrounds in the state. There were plenty of campsites that offered good creek access and privacy. Most of the campsites were closed by the forestry dept. which means they cut trees across the sites and removed the tables. This is now an eye sore with downed trees everywhere. The campsites were "improved" with gravel so large they are a tripping hazard, don't even... This was once one of the nicest campgrounds in the state. There were plenty of campsites that offered good creek access and privacy. Most of the campsites were closed by the forestry dept. which means they cut trees across the sites and removed the tables. This is now an eye sore with downed trees everywhere. The campsites were "improved" with gravel so large they are a tripping hazard, don't even think about letting your children walk barefoot. The three existing sites are reservation only designed for group camping. If you want to stay you need to make reservations well in advance. The plus side is less traffic if the gate is locked. Several times I have been fishing and the gate was open. The creek is beautiful and makes the negatives worth the stay. If I didn't know how nice the campgrounds once was I would rate it higher. Gone are the days of impulsive overnight camping trips. The transformation of the campground is a terrible shame but still better than no campground.

If you want to get off the grid, this is the place. Reservations are through the State of VA recreation site. Just a few campsites along Potts Creek. Pack out your own trash. Enjoy camping and leave nothing behind. Paint Bank General Store and Swinging Bridge Restaurant are nearby .

When I arrived at the campsite with my group, the gate code I was given in my confirmation email did not work on the lock. We drove over 5 hours to find out we had to find somewhere else to set up camp and pay another campsite even more money. I tried calling 3 different service numbers two days prior to our scheduled date and had no response. This campground is a waste of time unless you get a 10...
