Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights8 sites open for every nightA forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. RV fit varies by site.
Stuart Recreation Area occupies a bend on the Shavers Fork River where mixed hardwoods give way to open riverbank, so your campsite soundtrack is often rushing water and bird song. The river here is regularly stocked with trout, making fly and bait anglers a common sight, and the shallow, sandy stretches are used for cooling off on warm days; a maintained beach in the day-use area provides an easy spot to get in the water.








Length limits vary by campsite.
Showers on site. Dump station on site.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (3,357 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
