Cherry Hill Campground

$10 a night! Flush toilets, hot showers, and power outlets in the bath house. Firewood on site available from the host. Every site has a table, lantern hanger, and a fire ring. The tent pads are level. Depending on your site, you’ll probably hear some road noise from Hwy 107. Reservable on recreation.gov. Can’t beat the price.

If a secluded location near numerous waterfall hiking trails is of interest to you, I recommend Cherry Hill. I stayed there during the week and shared the facility with one other couple and a few squirrels. Because of proximity, I was able to hike to 8 awesome waterfalls over a three day period. There is no electricity or water on the sites but there is power and water at the centrally located bathhouse. The bathhouse consists of one square building with 4 separate bathrooms, allowing for privacy. Great HOT showers! You will have little or no cell coverage so plan accordingly. When I arrived, my site was marked and ready for me to set up. No check in or check out. Reservations and payment were made ahead of time on their website. It doesn’t get any easier than this.

It is a quiet campground and beautiful but 2 of the four bathrooms had no toilet paper and one was locked the entire time we were there. The fourth bathroom had plenty of toilet paper but there was a large water puddle on the floor. Apparently it does not drain properly. We did go to the host site a couple of times but no one answered our knock except their dogs. The one that was locked may have needed repairs but the host should be checking once or twice a day to see if they need toilet paper and unplugging the drain or determining if it needs repaired. All 3 bathrooms that I saw need some work. The dumpsite also could use a little work to level up the parking pad so RVs can drain their tanks completely. Our motorhome drain is under the driver's door in the front so it cannot drain properly if the vehicle is high in the front.

Price reflects senior discount. Just one night here on our way to the Blue Ridge Parkway, it's a pretty little spot in a forest, with lots of hiking access. There's a dump station, water spigots throughout the campground, mostly level spots for small RVs/trailers.

Book your site before arriving, there's no FFS and cell service is iffy on site. I'm not sure if I missed them, but we only saw one bathhouse/toilet (with four full access rooms, each with toilet, sink, and shower), and there was almost always a line to use. Some folks near us ran a generator all night, but it was a very cold night and they had two babies, so slack was cut.

Helpful camp host near the bath house.
