It was a wonderful experience camping on the hill, waking up going hiking through the woods. The bath house was excellent, very clean and well kept. We will definitely be using this place again!!

I absolutely love this area, it's stunning. The kids have plenty of space to run and play, they love the playground and they always keep it clean, the grass cut, and they're bathrooms right beside of it. Perfect for any occasion.

Our family rented the Laurel Shelter on May 14th. There were about 21 family members. The shelter included 8 picnic tables. Two of the tables were conveniently placed against the shelter wall near the 4 or 5 electrical outlets. These tables came in handy for our crock pots and the rest of the food. We had plenty of space for drinks and eating. The area was very clean!
There was a swing set next to the shelter that the little ones loved. And there were bathrooms right behind the shelter. The lake was in sight but not too close. And the mountains behind the lake made a beautiful backdrop. A very nice park officer stopped to check our permit and it was nice to know that the park officers were nearby if there was a need.
We all had a great time and I would highly recommend this area for a family gathering.

Staff and facilities at Littcarr Campground are excellent! Not a large facility, but easy to maneuver and great sites. We had a great time while at Littcarr. A peaceful and tranquil place with lots of beauty to explore.
