Couldn't find much info about the campground online anywhere so figured I'd post a review to help…read morethose looking! We wanted to spend time hiking in Grayson Highlands & were late to the game on Labor Day weekend & all the camping was booked. After some digging we found this place & it was about 25 mins from the park & an easy drive. If you have ATT there is no service. We lost it about 30 mins before arrival. Our GPS still worked & it was nice to unplug but just a heads up. The important highlights: -Bathrooms are clean & well maintained. -Showers are hot & we never had to wait. -Must pay in cash -Dog friendly. My dog could be offleash & run around. No major roads around & very laidback. -The sights are right by the water so you can hear the creek & the views are nice -each site has a picnic table & firepit. The campsites are pretty close which was hard when 3 carloads with about 15 people showed up & made camp at the site next door. They weren't particularly cognizant of their noise levels & we couldn't sleep until around 11 when I finally went out to ask them to please keep it down. They only stayed one night & that's just par for the course sometimes with camping. The next night was much quieter & we slept great. All in all a great campground. An hourish from Boone & Blowing Rock. Bring supplies in as there aren't any major grocery stores around. Would stay there again if we were in the area.

Park rangers don't do anything, it's a very uncomfortable environment when the park rangers are barking orders without having any work done themselves, at least through my observations. The maintenance crew also seems to slack off on occasion on the bathrooms with the lifeguards cleaning the stalls?? I will be returning but I don't expect the staff will to be very helpful.

The cottages are situated on 3 acres in town, with the trail in the front yard and the river in the backyard.

I stayed at Farmer Bob's Campground for three nights over the Battle at Bristol weekend with five…read moreother friends. We stayed in tents at a regular site (no electric or water hookups). The campground staff was very helpful leading up to our stay whenever I would email them with questions or concerns. We planned to arrive late at night/early in the morning so we weren't sure if we could check in, but thankfully the check-in area was open 24/7 allowing us to set up when most would be asleep. Near our campsite, the campground set up a little shop area with multiple coolers of ice for sale, which came in very handy with our food and beverage consumption. Also at the shop, they had hats, t-shirts, koozies, and shot glasses with Farmer Bob's logos on them, along with bug spray, ponchos, and other camping supplies. The workers there were very helpful and even recommended that we take a short drive to the nearby lake if we weren't busy to experience the beauty of the land. The proximity of the campground to the speedway way wasn't too far, but it was a decent walk. Farmer Bob's provided shuttle buses to the speedway anyways, which we took advantage of. After the game, on the way back we walked back and surprisingly got back to our site pretty easily thanks to paths on the campground from the road. Camping at Farmer Bob's was a great experience and the next time I plan to camp in Bristol that will be the first place I go to.

We were the only tent campers there so we had our choice of location. We found the bathhouse to be immaculate with a single huge shower stall - separate sides for men and women. There are also a washer and dryer and a gas grill available for guests to use. Windy, the proprietor, is a friendly and extremely knowledgeable guy. The campground is near "The Snake" and the AT. Be aware that the town consists of 2 businesses. A small diner with good cheap food and a general store that sells fast food type things. These businesses only accept cash.
