Van Pugh South Campground

We rented a boat and had a wonderful time with the leadership team at the campsite. We enjoyed grilling meat, and the place was so pleasant with a shallow area where the kids could swim. It was an incredibly comfortable and enjoyable location!

Great spot for a long weekend getaway. Camp host were phenomenal and very accommodating. We fished all weekend and were able to leave the boats in the water and pull them up right in front of camp. The islands in front of the campground do attract a lot of boats pulling up on the beaches and shallow sand bars hanging out for the day, but was not too bad the weekend we were there. Be sure to read all of the restrictions, the host do a good job of monitoring that as well.

Campground is very nice and well run, bathrooms are decent. We had site 46 which has nice waterfront view and is good for swimming. Campsite pad are very small and close to each other.Great access to water for any water sport. We will definitely be back.

This park has been closed and neglected for 4 years. Now there's a sign that says No Entry. There are two families living on the property that have been here for 6 months. No one else. What a waste a beautiful resources.. I've been coming here to walk by the water since 1993. Great job USACE

Van Pugh South is a U.S Corps of Engineers campground that is open to the public. For the most part of the sites are tiny and seem to accommodate one small tent or RV but site 52 is the largest and has a water hookup across the street from it but it is a nonelectric site and they do ask that you do not flush the tanks of your RV with the water hookup at the dumpster area. They offer access to a range of activities with every site waterfront so fishing is as easy as 123. No catch and release restrictions. If you're planning on going out on the water, they even have a boat ramp access. All in all we give it a 4 for beauty but the sites could be a little bigger.
