Everything you have come to expect from a COE campground. There is a trail that is well maintained and the lake is beautiful with very little traffic.

@LoriT8546024 · Camped on Oct 13, 2024 at Campsite #14

Sites were boxed in and smaller than I am used to. Think they were 20' wide. We had to move the picnic table completely out of the site to make room for our fence. Sites are not very long either. My camper is 40 feet and I had to overhang th back of the camper in order to keep the truck on the site as well.

Very peaceful

@LeeP8676897 · Camped on Oct 2, 2024 at Campsite #33

The campground is dated and could use a little love. The previous camper for site 33 used the fire ring as a trash disposal of cans cigarette butts and chicken bones. The ring also has a heavy layer of ashes. My wife and I removed the trash. The restrooms and showers were nice. The ADA site is pretty far from the restrooms.

@RobertH1222975 · Camped on Sep 3, 2024 at Campsite #47

@DanaB7254836 · Camped on Aug 2, 2024 at Campsite #29

We have been to this location a couple of times, and we like it. The sites are very close together, but everyone is always so nice.

@TeresaY6D900F0 · Camped on Jul 26, 2024 at Campsite #46

Grass needs to be cut! Extremely high. Snakes was really out this weekend. 3 copperheads in one day.

@katier7966535 · Camped on Jul 8, 2024 at Campsite #54

Neat and clean, staff was friendly and ready to help

@AmberW7269041 · Camped on Jul 7, 2024 at Campsite #87

I always have a good time here and this experience was no exception. Good facilities and campsites. The holiday crowd had mostly filtered out by Sunday so it wasn't too crowded. I always have a great time out on the water. Ranger Dillon was exceptionally friendly and helpful during my stay. I greatly appreciate him!

@DebraR7956372 · Camped on Jun 22, 2024 at Campsite #5

We were in site 5, the dumpsters were awful anytime we were outside at our site, you should think about moving them away from the campers!

@RobertM1452522 · Camped on Jun 7, 2024 at Campsite #6

RV sites 1-18 have little to no shade and are very close together. The dump station is at the top of the hill in the tent area by the bathhouse and hard to get back to the exit as you have to go down to the beach to make a U-turn. There are very steep grades in that area of the campground.

@KarenH5592205 · Camped on May 24, 2024 at Campsite #54

Great spot

@MikeE418600243 · Camped on May 23, 2024 at Campsite #4

We love camping at Salthouse Branch. Attendants were nice and friendly, sites were clean and flat. Our only complaint is the cell service is terrible.

@RalphS4100274 · Camped on May 7, 2024 at Campsite #42

Quiet and peaceful place to camp , either as a couple or with the family. Electrical and water hook ups make it so handy in your home away from home!!

@JamesC5011896 · Camped on Apr 30, 2024 at Campsite #22

Nice stay except for barking dogs. One couple let their dogs bark constantly without doing anything about it. Someone screamed at them and they finally shut them up. I chose not to camp with dogs because of this. I shouldnt have to listen to someone elses dog.

@DianneH21E655E · Camped on Apr 12, 2024 at Campsite #17

Great camping experience!

@JamesR5751753 · Camped on Apr 6, 2024 at Campsite #25

This is a very well-maintained, beautiful and well-managed campground.

@PATRICIAN63421 · Camped on Apr 5, 2024 at Campsite #1

Beautiful campground for relaxing and taking walks. Second year coming here and will definitely be back.

@DanielD4395113 · Camped on Apr 4, 2024 at Campsite #1

Very nice stay

@DavidG5648223 · Camped on Oct 27, 2023 at Campsite #62

Very nice,clean

@MaryH1910665 · Camped on Oct 27, 2023 at Campsite #67

I love staying at salthouse branch when I attend the Blue Ridge Folklife Festival at Ferrum College. It is very well maintained and kept. Just needs better maps or more trail maps for the reservoir trails.

@LadonnaW735967 · Camped on Oct 25, 2023 at Campsite #11

Great park, not very many spots for big rigs. We were in #11, 40 ft 5th wheel and fit fine. 2 boat ramps, great kayaking. Camp Host were very nice, would visit again.

@RichardG179702 · Camped on Oct 13, 2023 at Campsite #26

Great campground! We will be going back there. Clean bath house! Friendly people.

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!!!
