The camper host was exactly what one should be: accommodating, helpful and friendly, known as "camp mom." This is her last year there.
The site is one that we would be content never leaving, watching the river only feet from our site, we could fish any time we wanted. The trail head to the scenic overlook trail was easy to get to and an amazing hike! Saw two snakes and a turtle in the 6 mile round trip hike.
Camp itself was small and quiet. Shower was huge and clean. We will be back!

This is a beautiful campground located right on the Ohio River. Unfortunately, it is managed by individuals who are not very accommodating. They were kind, but nibby and were not very receptive of our dogs. They were rude to the other group who were using primitive sites next to our camp. This seems like the kind of place if you roll in with a nice camper and appear to "belong" than you will be just fine. If you want to tent camp be prepared to be judged and spied on. The shower house only had 1 shower and 1 toilet and was well maintained. The views are great, and there is a nice playground, but I fear that children who are "too loud" or "too busy" will not be welcomed.

We spent 3 nights in this secluded campground and had a site overlooking the Ohio River. I never knew how interesting the river could be! We watched many tug/push boats steering up to 6 barges hauling their cargo, plus speedboats, fishing boats, and even a few swimmers on the WVa side. The campground is very well maintained by the national park service, but mostly by the friendly and helpful camp hosts. They even provided FREE campfire wood! (And he split it for us since we were two females who tried and failed at wielding an ax!) There are only 19 electric sites and 3 primitive tent sites -- we had the perfect spot on the river for out tent. Most sites could hold a full sized camper and a few of them at pull through. No water hookup, but there is a fill land dump station. There is a trail leading from the campground to one of the main trails in the Nat'l Forest, plus a (I'm guessing) 1/2 mile paved path all along the outside of the camp. There are a few observation decks, one overlooking the river and 2 others overlooking a wetland to the northeast --all accessible from the paved walking path, plus a nice playgroung for smaller children and observation decks over the river and a wetland area.
Our ONLY complaint was the ONE shower in the bath house. The bathhouse is kept clean every day by the camp host, but with only 1 shower, you may have to wait or plan your shower for an odd time.

This one is at the top of our list to return to. Nice large sites, very nice maintained, very friendly camp host that gave us info on area attractions.

We were really surprised at this campground when we arrived. The campground is in excellent condition. Well maintained. It won't be for everyone because it is 30 amp electric only at RV sites. Water is available when you arrive to fill your freshwater tank. A dump station is available too. Showers are available but we preferred our own. Some sites are right on the Ohio river. Bring your honey wagon if staying for an extended time (max 14 days)
