Reviews
"It is such a cool, remote area. The river is beautiful and there is a small map in a visitor stand that shows where you are. If you take McAfee Rd, exercise extreme caution in a vehicle. There are sharp drop offs, cliffs, mud, potholes, and it is one lane but open for two lane traffic. It still made for a beautiful drive."
"It's a beautiful place at the end of the road, barely past local residence on the river. Very close to an active railroad. There is a chemical port-a-potty as well. Neighborhood dogs do frequent this park."
"Let me be honest with this site - it’s about a 20 min long curvy road to get to this spot. There’s only 4 walk in sites available. Place looks a little sketchy and ghetto. There’s one site next to the river and the other 3 sites were behind it. Very secluded if you don’t want a lot of people near by. But not close to any trails or anything in general. And the bathroom is a porter potty no showers."
"Great hidden place within the park. Road getting there from Thurmond is long, narrow and windy. Do not take road from Prince to get here. Only 4 campsites here but close to the river and only restroom is a port a potty. Places to fish and put boats/kayaks in the water. However it frequently gets trashed by disrespectful people."
"Camped at Thayer campground last summer. Very private. No one else was at the sight. Campground is 1st come 1st serve so it is a long drive to chance not getting q site."
