As soon as I pulled into the site and turned off my car engine, I knew I was in exactly the right spot. The lack of human noise combined with the trees, birds, and light breeze started feeding my soul immediately. It was that way my whole four day stay. There were other people at the campground, but not a lot. No one was running a generator all day or throwing loud parties at night. It was wonderful. The bathrooms were well cleaned, and everything worked as expected.
The location of the campground was excellent, too, for exploring back roads and lesser used trails. The twisty three mile almost-single-lane drive back to the campground would be difficult in a long vehicle like an RV, but for an SUV was fine. The campground was set far enough back from the road that you didn't hear daily traffic at all. Highly recommend. I'm definitely returning here when I come to the area.
This year - 2021 - Raccoon Branch Campground is closed and Grindstone Campground has no water or electricity.
There is definitely no cell service. I tried my AT&T phone and Verizon hotspot and neither got any sort of signal.

Nice quiet location with well spaced camping sites. We camped in a site towards the back end of the loop and it was beautifully nestled into the woods. Lower number sites are a little more open to grassy fields. We were there on a weeknight after Labor Day so we were 1 of 3-4 total sites occupied. Hosts were nice and introduced themselves when we arrived. Will come back again.

Nice secluded campgrounds. Plenty of space between each campsite so you are not right on top of your neighbor.
I can't say much about any other campsite but the one we were in was at the back of the campgrounds pretty deep in the woods.
As such it does not get much sun so everything was pretty soggy.
The picnic table was slimy and starting to rot from the moisture.
Maybe pick a site that is a little more in the open in the hopes that the sun may dry things out a bit.
This is not really the campgrounds fault so I still gave them 5 stars.
It really is a nice place and I would definitely go back.
