I arrived at this location with a sizable 35-foot 5th wheel and a long-bed pickup truck, securing spot #B48, a BI E/W site, for a nightly rate of $36. The roads and spots were paved with asphalt, but their condition was deplorable, marked by cracks and deteriorating edges. Navigating into my spot was a challenge due to the surrounding trees, a water tap, and severe erosion on the other side of the road, which had a substantial drop. The spot was entirely covered in leaves, requiring me to clear it before parking to identify the asphalt boundaries. I captured some close-up images revealing the deteriorating asphalt. The spot was also significantly inclined, necessitating the use of three planks on one side to achieve balance. Most spots in the park are uneven to some extent. I don't believe they employ a camp host here, though one would be useful, particularly if equipped with a leaf blower. The communal bathroom was visibly aged, with individual shower rooms showing rust at the panel bases. The laundry area had several malfunctioning machines, each costing $1.75 for washing and drying. I had a decent Verizon 5G signal with two bars and a 30.2 Mbps download speed, but there was no Wi-Fi in the camp area, and I didn't check for over-the-air channels. The camp's location by the lake is appealing, but it's marred by excessive road noise and early morning train sounds. For larger vehicles, I would suggest spots on the B loop - 46, 48, 53, 54, 57, and A5, A11, and D101 on other loops. B51 is satisfactory but slopes towards the lake. Approach the dump station slowly as the road is quite uneven. The camp offers convenient access to Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown. Despite its poor condition, I found my stay enjoyable after resolving initial settling issues.
