Very secluded and woodsy. The campground was all that we expected from a state park. Everything was well-kept and restrooms clean. Will return again.

A great feature of Vanhook Glade is it's proximity to the Cliffside Rec Area which ordinarily charges but is free to campers. That area has a beautiful lake and trails including one to a lightly visited beautiful waterfall. I walked the dog each morning up to this area, an easy half hour, and the additional trails would accommodate any ambition level. For those interested in a picnic or BBQ there were great facilities around the Cliffside Rec Area Lake. The scenic Bridal Veil and Dry Falls waterfalls are nearby and many trails in the Highlands area are within easy commute.

We have camped here for years. I have always loved it. It's close to the waterfalls, hiking trails and fishing. Highlands is nearby. The camp host were awesome. Very nice and helpful. The rest rooms were kept clean. I highly recommend camping here.

Our tent-only site 12 was right across from the water spigot and (clean) bathroom, yet the short flight of stairs down the hill made it very private. The foliage was thick and the tent sites were spaced very far apart and while we had neighbors we couldn't even see their fire. There was only enough space for a single vehicle at this site. Absolutely no cell service at the campground, but a short 0.3 mile hike towards Cliffside Lake gave us one Verizon bar, enough to check texts. The Lake is more of a pond and felt very over-fished but was beautiful none-the-less. We enjoyed daily hikes out from the campsite and appreciated not having to drive anywhere. Hosts were friendly and informative. Very dog friendly atmosphere as well. We would absolutely come back!
