The rolling green hills are beautiful and nearby trails are terrific.  The staff are always polite.  Sitting by a fire at night is quiet.  Not everyone wants to be as remote as it is up there, but for people who love the sound of nature, Doughton park is a winner!", "reviewRating": { "@type": "Rating", "ratingValue": 5, "bestRating": 5, "worstRating": 1 } }, { "@type": "Review", "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Roger W." }, "datePublished": "2023-06-22T19:23:12.052Z", "reviewBody": "Doughton Park CG:\n(Scale 1- bad, 5-Very good\n(70 yr olds in 17’ trailer)\nOverall Rating: 4.5\nPrice: $10/ night w senior pass\nUsage during visit: low due to rain\nSite Privacy: some, like ours - #9, are very good \nSite Spacing: some sites are nicely space and some are pretty close. \nSite surface: Blacktop \nReservations: Yes\nCampground Noise: Very quiet during our stay. A small group of folks, older, play music together on a regular basis. Bring your instrument and join them. One plays a lot of Gordon Lightfoot - they were friends. Low key and quiet. Very, very enjoyable. \nRoad Noise: Sites 1 and 2 are close to the parkway. The rest of the sites are set far enough back that, maybe motorcycles can be heard. Right now through there is no through traffic as a nearby portion of the parkway is in the middle of a 3 year construction project. \nThrough Traffic in campground: None \nElectricity: No\nWater: Availability at the dump station and one faucet. \nSewer Hook up: No\nDump Station: Yes \nGenerators: Allowed \nBathroom: Small and clean. \nShowers: No\nPull Throughs: Most or all are back in. \nCell Service (Verizon): Good from our site \nSetting: Deciduous forest on high ground. \nWeather: Unseasonably wet during our stay. 4 days of almost non-stop rain \nBugs: None \nSolar: Fixed solar panels might work in sites 1 and 2.\nHost: Present. \nRig size: There are a couple 30 to 35’ rigs here \nSites: #9, our site, is one of the best sites we have had in almost 4 years of travel. The regulars call this site the “honeymoon site”, because of the heart shaped large rocks which create a lower terraced picnic area. Best sites: 9 very best, 4, 8, 7. Next best: 5,21,19. Nice but picnic area is not quite as private: 20, 18,16,14,12,11,10. All other sites along the outer side of the loop I would be happy with. The exception are sites 1 and 2. These two sites are along the parkway.

We intended on seeing if there was a‘first come first serve’ spot that might be better(as was mentioned in another review). We got there around 4:00 and the rangers let us drive through and switch to C87. There are some spots that are pretty close together and would probably work better as group spots, others (like C87) had plenty of privacy. We thought it would be packed on the beautiful October weekend, but the campground did not fill up and there was plenty of room to spread out. \n\n \n\nThe proximity to the parkway was great. So many hikes and views. My kids loved Brinegar Cabin(1876) which is right up the road. \n\n \n\nThe bathrooms were clean, but very basic. The fire rings were a little worn. Some of the parking spots were made during a time when cars were smaller.  None of that was a problem for us, but others may think differently. It is an older park and feels that way, but we found it charming. We thought it was an overlooked gem!", "reviewRating": { "@type": "Rating", "ratingValue": 5, "bestRating": 5, "worstRating": 1 } } ], "offers": { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "price": "20", "priceValidUntil": "2026-06-12" }, "priceRange": "$20-$35" }
