Great little campground with level wooded sites. Most sites are nicely separated for a peaceful camping experience

We camped in the upper loop. No one was camping in that loop when we got there and we were the only ones in that loop until our last day there. The middle loop didnt have a working restroom so the upper loop was the only loop with running water and showers. This campground is not good for older people riding bikes as it is basically on a hillside. The first problem we ran into was getting into the campground. It is gated and we werent told to punch in everything along with the numbers. I like camping in a gated campground as there are no people riding through. I like to fish but I didnt bring my boat and soon found that bank fishing on this side of the lake is very limited. This campground is over a mile away from busy 421 and along with no one just riding through it is a very peaceful campground. We do plan to camp here again but instead of bringing our bikes Ill have my kayak with me next time.

It would be good to add that the water is not potable and for campers to bring fresh water for drinking to the camp site.The site was VERY clean and the views are stunning!!! The hookups were very well maintained and personnel were always kind and welcoming. We will be back to enjoy this site again!!! Thank you so much for creating such a beautiful area!

It's been a few years since we camped here but it is still one of our local favorites.

Park staff and Park Rangers we're very friendly and helpful. Check in process was super easy. Everyone had a great time. There was a sandy volleyball court, playground, and bathroom/ shower house right beside the shelter. Ample parking and a swimming area just below the shelter. This is our go to destination in the summer. We usually camp at this park but with work schedules we were only able to go for a day trip for my son's birthday. Always a great trip.

Enjoyed the stay overall. This site is on a hill until you are parked. Once you are in the site, very private and great for our dogs. We did have cell service so that was good. The roads were in ill repair going into the camp sites.

Fantastic campground with clean facilities and beautiful scenery. A true escape from the chaos of the city
@MelissaS832578 · Camped on Jun 4, 2024 at Campsite #26
I'm sure this is a great campground, but the site we ended up with was backing up on a 15% grade. Did not happen. Some of the sites looked good, but no availability and we were planning on being there a week. Thank goodness we could get into Warrior Creek just on the other side of the lake. Staff was good helping us to request refund for the night.
@LauraH2152556 · Camped on May 24, 2024 at Campsite #26
We love Fort Hamby. The sites are well maintained and most are level. The sites are far enough apart that you arent on top of each other. The bathhouse has been clean each time we have stayed there.
@JohnS6889697 · Camped on May 17, 2024 at Campsite #8
Nice wooded setting, we stayed one night but it was pleasant and helpful staff at check in

Nice size sites and love the lake
@BretC4828643 · Camped on May 3, 2024 at Campsite #31
Even though it rained for the entire time we were there, it was a little bit of heaven in the trees. Quiet and secluded site #31 was perfect for us. Will be back!

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
