we were in site 30 between the stop sign and the hill with trees it was a monumental job to back a 37 foot travel trailer into that had to use 4 wheel drive and back and froth to center in the site but it Is not the first time. After that it was great.

Even though it was cold, we had a great time. It was a group of 25 that went, and we had a blast. Only downfall was we were told there'd be a dumpstation available but it wasn't. We were advised that there would be no water except at the bathhouse, so we prepared for that. But the view of the lake was absolutely beautiful with the fall colors!!

We enjoyed hiking at nearby Fairy Stone State Park.

We greatly enjoyed our first visit to Goose Point! It was also our first visit to a Corps of Engineers Recreation area. We thought that the location and facilities were quite good, and the fall scenery was superb! We were impressed by how clean everything was kept, compared to many other places where we have camped. When we arrived, the area was without power or water due to a recent storm, but this was restored in a little over 24 hours. We don't blame anyone for this.
OTOH, we truly wish that we had had more information available on the specific characteristics of the campsites when we reserved. We would not have selected campsite #30 if we had known that while the site itself was fairly level, the driveway leading up to it from the park loop was quite steep, and the loop road itself was at that point narrowed down considerably between two dirt embankments. None of this was apparent from the one tiny photograph that was available on the website.
It was quite difficult to back our 23' travel trailer into the campsite, and we even had to get assistance from a kind neighbor. Accordingly, we would NOT recommend site #30 for campers using a travel trailer - only a small to medium sized self-contained RV. The driveways to the other campsites were much more level and there was more elbow room on the park loop road.
As for additional activities in the area, on the way up we detoured to visit Mabry Mill just off milepost 176 of the Blue Ridge Parkway. It was restored by the National Park Service and is described on their website. It is located west of Goose Point about an hour away. On visiting, some may experience a bit of deja vu, as photos and paintings of this mill have appeared on many calendars and greeting cards over the years.

We found the campground to be clean and quiet for our late August stay. The lake water level was several feet low, but there were no difficulties in putting our kayaks in from the shore at C loop. We were there during the week, and found many empty sites for several days at a time, but would assume they filled up for the weekend. Lots of great kayaking opportunities, and not too much competition from speed boats and other water craft.

Great family environment! Ladies at guardhouse are so kind! They treat you like family! Awesome experience every time!

It was early in season, so water wasn't turned on or dump open. However, did an excellent job keeping the bath houses clean. Is a very nice campground.
