Grandview Sandbar Campground — Hotel in Thurmond

It's okay. There was trash left all over the walk in campsites. My party picked up 2 large trash bags full of garbage. Pack it out, people!!! Restrooms are vault toilets with no running water and no soap. The women's bathroom did not lock shut either. No water at this campsite, no bear lockers. This is a bare bones simple campground. Bring your own water. It is free to stay here. The walk in campsites are better than the drive in ones as the drive in ones have a limited view, but walk in ones are along the river. There were 5-7 campsites in the walk in and about 10 sites in the drive in. It is first come first serve right now. There are train tracks nearby so the trains can be REALLY loud and wake you up. Not a good place to "disconnect" as you can see cars passing by on the other side of the river. Insects and frogs are loud but drown out people noises. There are lighting bugs right now. There was a lightning storm when we stayed. The sky had a lot of stars but clouds covered it most of the time. Overall if you need a place to stay, come here but bring your own water and expect to be woken up by a...

My favorite camp ground. Except bring a flashlight at night cause public bathrooms do not have inside lights. Fishing sucks but for camping, swimming ,walking along sandbar, or just watching rafters come down river it's great.They need to cut some trees out of campground cause durning a storm we lost a brand new $152.00 Walmart tent a big limb blew down on top of us in the middle of the night ripping it all to pieces had to sleep in car yes we checked above in the tree the best we could before placing tent but trees in camping area are so tall and thick plus needs more than 10 Pull in sites. NEXT STAY On April 21 23we camped out at the walk in and the toilets stink so bad you will seriously need some kinda cloth over your face this smell could be hazardous to your health. The men who take care of them has not done anything except take a water hose and sprayed into toilet...

My family has been coming to this camp now for almost 20 years. When we first started coming you could camp right down on the beach with your tent and car almost right next to it. While you can no longer do that (which is a bummer) they have improved the campground greatly. It went from just having port-o-potty to having the best bathroom around that does not have running water. it is the cleanest and best smelling bathroom facility I have ever used in a campground. Yes, it does not have running water, so you need to bring your own for eating, cleaning, and bathing. The views are fantastic, the memories even better, and time spent in the wonderful state or WV are fantastic. Stay away if you like creature comforts. Welcome it with open arms if you like to rough it a little, love the outdoors, and are looking for a place to call home...
