Should mention that it is a (COE) Corp of engineers park.
Many seniors looking for their discount will love that it is 1/2 price.
I have reserved site 06 at SaltHouse Branch for next spring.
Does this site have a sewer hookup ?
Do any sites at this cg have a sewer hookup at the site?
Thank you
Hi Gary,
Salthouse Branch campsite #6 has water and electric hookups, but not sewer. Also, none of the campsites have sewer hookups. There are 44 with water & electric.
What is the date that someone can be reached by phone at SaltHouse Branch ?
Thank you .
I was wondering if they allowed golf carts there, as I can’t walk really well
Hi Pamela,
We’re not sure if Salthouse Branch campground allows golf carts. You may try giving the park/campground a call to confirm: (540) 365-7005
Is the swimming area open? If so, do you have to pay a fee to swim? Do you have to pay to park? Salt house
Yes, the swimming area is open and the lake is open for swimming, boating, fishing, etc. There is an entrance fee for day-use/parking, but I’m not sure what that is. You can try calling the park to confirm: 540-365-7005
We really love this campground!
Use it multiple times a season.
Walking, swimming, sitting by the fire and meeting other campers makes for a great retreat.
