Excellent secluded campground. Campsites are well spaced out and clean. No running water but the vault toilets were very clean during our stay. Only a few miles down the road from Max Patch as well!

This is a remote and fairly primitive forest service campground: there is no running water on site and the toilets are vault. Typically, it's not at all crowded, and even on a peak season weekend we were able to choose from several open sites. The road in is a typical mountain FS road, and has always been excellently maintained the times I've travelled it, which is nice since it's not a short drive in from either Del Rio or Hot Springs. If you're the luxury camping type, or the kind who needs to have Things To Do, this may not be the best base camp for you. Even Max Patch isn't as close as it looks on the map. However, if you're looking for a quiet, clean camping retreat where those forkers at work couldn't get in touch with you no matter how hard they tried, this is your spot. (Side note, there is a hiking trail that runs right through the campground, #135 Walnut Mtn, but it's not particularly maintained.)

This is a nice little camp ground that is pack everything in and out. Has vault potties they are for the most part clean and in order. We love it since it is not typical busy. Very peaceful and best part no cell service!

Safe for small car, like Honda Civic, to drive on the dirt road? Is it sketchy?

If you are going to Round Mountain Campground or Max Patch a car is fine I was just up there in a Toyota Camry. But FS-96 to Rattlesnake Gap & Wolf Creek Falls is probably best with a high clearance vehicle.

Never, the drive is rough, most people will tent camp. I have never seen a travel trailer up there except for me.

How many sites at Round Mountain campground?

Mickey Maynard | Dec 22, 2018
Laura Shular | Dec 23, 2018

If I remember correctly, there are 23 campsites.

I cannot reach the rangers office. Is Round Mountain Campground ok for an RV in this upcoming rain and wind event from Hurricane Florence? Would it be subject to flooding, mudslides?

Whitney Blake | Dec 22, 2018
Laura Shular | Dec 23, 2018

The campground itself would probably be fine, but the road to the campground would probably be sketchy in an RV. It is gravel and has too many switchbacks to count, not to mention it is pretty steep in several places.

Do the facilities have a shower?

Katy Vincent | Dec 22, 2018
Laura Shular | Dec 23, 2018

There aren't any facilities. There is a pit toliet. There is also no water spigot or access beside the creek, if you were to have a way to treat it.
