This area is known for the lake and for boating and outdoor recreation, so I understand that coming during a colder time probably put a slight damper on everything that should be taken with a grain of salt if you're reading this review. When we arrived there was no one in the office. It felt closed off and unattended. I wasn't able to go up into the lighthouse at all, which was super disappointing because for me it was the main draw. From the outside, the lighthouse was lovely to look at but I was really really hoping to be able to climb to the top. The rest of the grounds looked fine and this is definitely a place designed for overnight stays. I would definitely return but during the right season and when I am able to explore the lighthouse!

The location is only 20-25 minutes from the New River Gorge area which makes visiting the bridge or downtown Fayetteville a breeze. The gift shop has a large selection of items just in case you forgot something or need a souvenir. There is a large community firepit and pavilion with Adirondack chairs. Each full hookup site also has it's own firepit with chairs. The property is well maintained. Make sure you take a walk to the hammock area...this was the kids favorite part! We already booked a trip back for next year and cannot wait to spend more time in WV.

There are technically two different grounds for RVers and I was happy to be back in the farther grounds (less traffic noise from street and more privacy). It is lacking a few amenities. Although they are in the works, there are only port-a-potties around the campground and no laundry facility at this time. If long terming here, I would prefer to have at least a place to do laundry. If we are ever in the area, we will definitely stay here again!

We were greeted very pleasantly & while driving to our site, we thought the sites looked quite nice. We stayed in Site #44 & it was level (unlike some of the reviews that said the sites were terribly undeveloped); we did find that the breaker on the power pole didn't work & we called right away & within a very short time, a really pleasant maintenance guy came, discovered he needed to replace the breaker, went right away & got it & we were able to setup not long after! We walked the entire property & found a lovely pool, a very cute putt-putt & lovely flowers & well cared for plants/trees everywhere. They have a really nice gift shop & game room & they sell Hunts Bros Pizzas that you can pick up. We had good water pressure & lovely views from our site, with no close by neighbors. We have been RV'ing for 13 years & have seen all types of RV parks--this one definitely does not deserve any of the bad reviews it has gotten, in my opinion!

We arrived Friday approximately 5 PM after a long down the road due to a few stops and heavy traffic, not to mention the terrain, after departing St. George, South Carolina. We were happy that they offered a military discount. Overall, this is a very beautiful park. Extremely well-kept! Yes, the spaces are a little tight if 100% filled however, I certainly didn't see anywhere, as mentioned by another reviewer, a sewer hook up 36 inches from a fire pit. They also offer a nice little café and sundry shop in their office. My wife and I had some of their breakfast pizza as well as a lunch pizza and chicken wings. All three were absolutely delicious! There is a small pool for children as well as a splash area. Additionally, there's a rather novel putt putt golf and gem mining area. In addition to RV spaces there are small apartments and large apartments. There are a number of long-term residents at the majority are short term rental. We liked it so much. We bookmarked it for a future stop if we're passing through the area. Keep up the great work!

The site was level. We did have to use a longer hose for water connection. There are a number of "permanent" residents and some of their sites could have been better maintained. There is an area behind the park for tent camping that has a pretty creek with some picnic and play areas. Some mention highway noise but it didn't bother us. We camped at Pioneer Village Campground in a Fifth Wheel. There is nothing to do in Max Meadows but we weren't looking for that. Wytheville is a short drive and has everything you could need. The Log Cabin 1776 restaurant is a must as well as Skeeters if you like hot dogs. We made a trip to Bristol and really enjoyed hanging out for the day.

I had to repair it myself before I could take a shower. - light switches in odd places - very hard to find the location at night. No lighting or easy to see signage showing you the location. - leopard print bed sheets. Really? - hot tub water didn't smell clean. It was clear but had a foul smell to it. All in all, the cabin was OK for the price & location. But with other lodging options in the area, I would probably choose something that is better maintained.

This place should be listed "best kept secret". I've rented their Amish cabins 2 years in a row…read more For $65-75 a night you get a tiny cabin that sleeps six. Amenities include an attached bathroom, with 6 towels and 6 wash clothes, soap, small refrigerator, small microwave, coffee pot, coffee sugar packets, paper towels, table with 2 chairs and 2 additional folding chairs, TV with direct tv. Full size bed with twin bunk, loft area with 3 cot type mattresses on the floor. Loft area is definitely meant for kids since you can't stand up I that area, but they need to be old enough to climb a ladder and be responsible enough not to "fall". Bed linens, pillows and blankets are also included. Cain is very clean. They do allow dogs for en extra $25 (one-time cost). They don't charge extra for more people like some other places that say they sleep 6 but charge you for every person more than 2. Also outside is a picnic table and small fire area. The only negatives I can say is that the cabins are pretty close together which is strange since there seems to be a lot of in occupied land, towels are not the best quality, and pillows are pretty flat, we doubled up since we didn't have 6 people. The other nice thing is that once you make the reservations your key is in a lock box next to the door. No need to have to "check-in" or out. There not a lot to do in the camp ground itself, it just has a dozen cabins and some RV sites. But your only 1 1/2 mile for the new river bridge and my favorite pizza place Pies and Pints. Tons of hiking and biking trails within a few miles and white water rafting close by. Definitely the best deal in town!!

We've been to some places that I don't feel really safe. I feel safe here, and don't worry about leaving chairs or belongings outside. The owner, Scott is great. When you text him, he responds faster than anyone else I know! He is working to improve the park and building little airbnb places on the property, so he is around much of the time. The park is quiet, and since it's winter, it's not really crowded. I believe that there are other travel nurses here too. We extended our assignment here in Elkins, so we plan to stay right here at Smokey Bottom Campground.

And that was exactly what I did afterwards. A few marathon runners joined me after and told me how the place is owned by a gentleman name Ray, and his daughter has a house right next to the store.

But asking for recommendations and trying the samples were what saved me. I got the cappuccino with chocolate crunk, based on the recommendation of Ray's daughter. The ice cream here is the perfect remedy for post-race or post-hike. You won't be disappointed!

Coming from out of town for the weekend, my comrades and I were looking to go camping for the 4th of July- and with the closest state park booked, this was a close alternative to our ideal location. Not only did we find the prices very fair, but our tent campsite was ideal! The Buckhorne is a great place to tent camp. They have spaces that have fire pits and tables - you pay a tad extra for electric hookups (but we didn't need them). They have ample parking and their shower/bathroom facilities are clean and bug-free! In addition to RV camp sites, they have a great on-site store you can utilize if you forgot a few essentials. It has the local ice cream shop and DVD/VHS rentals as well as well seasoned firewood for sale. Tons of space to allow guests to come and go. This place is family owned and the family that owns it is just the most friendliest people you will meet. They always great you as if you were friends for ages and are always willing to help you out with any questions you have. They do allow their family cats to roam freely but they won't wander to your campsite unless invited - no worries, they are super friendly! And, if you are lucky, you may see the campsite owl that lives nearby - a mascot of sorts that is as talkative as she is beautiful! I would def recommend anyone in the Clifton Forge area to stop on in for a snack or ice cream treat at least. These people are what hospitality is truly about and they are the sweetest family you will meet. If you are planning on staying, do inquire about check in hours, as they do change day to day.
