This is one of my favorite campgrounds if I need a mixed outdoor-small town location. I bring two kids and two big dogs with me and so having a great campground at a lake is a must, but it is also convenient being within a charming small lake town where we can grab extra water and maybe an ice cream. The sites are clean, accessible, well-spaced, and beautiful. There are a mix of sites, with sun or shade, close to the road and bathrooms or not, and the camp host is awesome. You can purchase firewood there and it is cheaper and safer. Great experience, as always.

Great camp site! Very quiet, we had no issues with neighbors being noisy. There is a small road behind our sites (7 through 11) but very few cars went by so we hardly noticed. A good number of mountain bikers passing through quickly, but far enough away and quiet enough where it didn't bother us. Sites themselves were great. Slightly uneven, a few slopes and rocky places, but manageable for everybody including the 75 year olds and 3 year olds. Sites were super shady, no need to bring any canopies or extra shade. Hosts were great, delivered and sold us fire wood, kept bathrooms clean although toilet paper did run out at night. Bring a roll to be safe! Trash cans very close by, restrooms well-spaced so they're not far from any sites, easy in and out. Lake is just 5 minutes away, we rented pontoon boats at the Pine Knot marina for site seeing and a little fishing. Supermarkets and fast food within 5 minutes as well so you won't be lacking anything. Overall we had a great weekend and will be back!

Perfect location, close to everything you need but tucked back enough to feel isolated. Our family loves this spot and consider it our first choice and favorite!
