This is a small, basic campground with not much to do except hang out in your site. That said, it was as clean and well maintained as you might want, especially compared to some campgrounds run by other federal agencies, such as the CoE. There are two campground hosts, although we saw very little of them. One was across from my site and he left his host site early in the morning and returned in the late afternoon. We never saw any of the hosts doing any work such as maintenance, cleaning, etc. Yet, as I as I said before, the campground was clean and well-maintained. It would be difficult, though, if a camper needed host assistance during the day.Note also that there is no cellphone, internet or OTA television service in the campground. Between distance from towers and the hills, even FM radio was hard to pick up.Also, the electric and water sites are on the part of the small campground loop next to VA Hwy 16. There is a surprising amount of highway noise from large trucks on such a small, windy and hilly highway.Finally, site 13 was not as level as described on www.recreation.gov. I had to use four jack pads under the front two levelers to get the auto level system to work and get close to level in my motorhome.

Raccoon Branch has gone downhill. The wireless connectivity was great formerly but now has been removed. There was standing water in the mens room due to a blocked drain. The camp host appears to be diligently engaged but has to pick his problem to work on next. .

We have stayed at Racoon Branch several times and our grandchildren enjoy the creek and we have had no problems. But this recent trip we were in site #13 and couldn't use the microwave when our air conditioner was running because it would cause the breaker to flip off. Day 2 of our stay campers moved into sites 10 & 11 & all electric sites were full and most were running air conditioners. The host was gone for the day & the main breaker flipped off leaving half of the electric sites without any power, on a day the temperature was upper 80's. I had 3 grandchildren who could not nap in the RV because it was too hot so I drove them around in our cool vehicle to get a nap, wasting expensive fuel. It seems the breakers are old & old breakers get weak so money needs to be allocated to change all the breakers.

A relatively quiet little campground with a few electric hookups. Very close to county road but not too much traffic. Excellent nearby hiking. Lots of nearby outdoor activities in the area. Campground hosts were not overly friendly but no real problems either.
