Goose Pt COE CG, Bassett,VA

Great COE CG, C loop has large sites,many on the water, don't even think of B loop with your rig, it's for PU's & tents.
The road into it is an experience in it's self, very hilly & winding, but completely do-able, interior roads are a little narrow, A loop is a little tight but we had no problem. Very clean bathrooms.
Hard to get a site, especially on a weekend, in fact, C loop is already filled from the end of May thru the first week of June, even longer.
This was our site,

Thinking about trying Goose Point this June. Don't have reservations, cause we might make it or we might not. Our plan is to spend some time at/near Fairy Stone SP looking for fairy stones. Goose Point appears to be a much more appealing campground for us, B campers. Our goal is to find fairy stones and find a nice place to eat. By this point into our trip, we'll need a break.
Any suggestions on how/where to do either and/or both?

We didn't go anywhere to eat, and all I can tell you is that you'd be hard put, (next to impossible) to get into Goose Point without reservations in June, it is an extremely popular campground, people reserve spots 6 months in advance.

Thank you for your comments. Looking forward to being there in a few weeks.

Arrived here at Goose Pt for the holiday weekend. First time here. What a nice campground! Didn't make early reservations so am not down on the lower level by the lake. In fact am up in the upper campground and the sites are pristine. Garmp1, although just got here did try the Checkered Pig in Martinsville, VA (20 miles) away and their BBQ ribs are great. Stopped by around 3pm to take some back to campsite and had to wait in line to order take out and the dine in seating area (maybe 50+/- seats) was full. Bet the line snakes down the block when NASCAR hits Martinsville.

Avan, were going to be at Goose Point June 19th for a week. We have not been there before. Will be on site C05, if you get a chance would you let me know how that site looks.

Thanks

It looks like this

One of the nicest camp grounds we've been to.

Been watching on Recretion.gov site and at this time there are 19 sites avaiable. 7 on the lower (lake) level and the remainder on the upper. All that I looked at seem fine, the problem is that we are not sure when we will be there. We're pretty sure we'll be there the 20th and 21st and even possibly the 19th. Far too many variables to pin point. Fairy Stone SP is a MUST, at least to see. So maybe a night there and then on to Goose Point. But the whole point of the stay is to find fairy stones. So where do you find these stones?
Avan, thanks for the Checkered Pig tip!

CaptBru. Sorry our conversation got stepped on. I was going to tell you that the site was super small, tough to get in to etc., etc and then with a followup post tell you the truth with these two pics taken today.





I think you'll enjoy your stay. Probably a "few" people roaming the beach area on the weekends
