Sunday when everyone else went home, we decided to move across the lake to Bandit's Roost Campground it is also a ACOE campground. We liked it much more than Fort Hamby. Both campgrounds are located on W. Kerr Scott Reservoir, it is a 1,475-acre artificial lake impounded by a dam located in Wilkes County, North Carolina.
We had a great site! (#20), although we didn't really care for the stairway down to the "patio".
We found another bike trail close by, the Yadkin River Trail. It was short, but that was ok, by the time we got back to the car it was starting to sprinkle. A good ride anyway...
Back at the campground.
The reservoir park across the way.
You can see the dam off in the distance, it was completed in 1962 to control flooding that had frequently been a problem in the area. It was named for W. Kerr Scott, the 62nd Governor of North Carolina, who played a key role in the project.
