“Great value and nice lake”
Nightly Rate: $15 USD
This was our 3rd time staying here-the first this year. This is a COE campground in a very remote area of southwest Virginia. The big draw is the access to Philpott Lake, which is great for boating,...

Tip for Other Campers:
Nothing in the area, so pack all your groceries. If you want to venture out, the Philpott Visitors Center on the other side of the lake does have beautiful views of the lake and dam.
“Too cramped”
Nightly Rate: $11 USD

We visited Mt. Airy, N.C. (Mayberry) which is about an hour away if you are a fan of the Andy Griffith show. The park has a beautiful lake although we did not utilize due to the crowds.
Tips from campers about Salthouse Branch
- Edies On nice days you may see some base jumpers at the bridge. We checked out Shoshone Falls and the lake next to it, Evel Knievel canyon jump site, Box Canyon, Balance Rock (quite impressive compared to other "balance rocks"), Kayaked with our own kayak from Ritter Island to Blue Heart Springs. Use google maps to locate the springs when kayaking, it is not obvious at all and quite the paddle but the water is stunningly clear. Also kayaked completely around Ritter Island as was suggested somewhere but it was too shallow at the end as you paddle pass the farm toward the bridge so we should not have done that.2 years ago Oregon Trail Campground
- MommaBriggs All the falls in the area are a must. Great bike trail along the river. Be careful of goat heads! Keeping your bike on the paved trail and off the grassy areas is paramount. We had never heard of goat heads and learned the hard way with four flat bike tires! Also, the trail gets very steep as you get closer to Shoshone Falls Park. People in the town are super friendly. Watching the bridge base jumpers was entertaining. Twin Falls has lots of beautiful areas.3 months ago Oregon Trail Campground

Sites are level and well keeped. Restrooms are clean and upto date. We fished in the Smith River for trout just below the dam. We love this campground. We camped at Salthouse Branch in a Fifth Wheel.
