Carolina Hemlocks Rec Area

The campground was either by the river or on the hill above nestled in the trees. The sites were far enough apart you had privacy and felt you were in the woods. However, the ladies bathrooms were awful because the commodes would hardly flush. There was little water pressure therefore they were always stopped up. Also it was apparent they were not often cleaned which is not acceptable during this time of Covid. Also, for older adults the restrooms were located such that it was a long walk on unpaved paths that were covered in tree roots. Many sites were closed with orange barrels for unknown reasons.

The bathrooms where nasty and there was no toilet paper. We couldn’t find anyone to let know.

I am 56 years old, and have a lifetime of memories from Black Mtn Campground and Carolina Hemlocks. It was nice to get back there. The host families were very nice. Thanks for the great experience!

Lovely, tree covered spot along the crystal clear South Toe River with swimming and rafting areas and clean bathrooms. The hosts are very helpful and run a tight ship enforcing rules if necessary so everyone can enjoy a peaceful , clean stay in this beautiful forest. Only one tip right now...the campground wood for sale is green still, so buy some at a store nearby or in Marion before you start climbing up to campground.

Great spot, close to so many sites but also has a small trail onsite and the Toe river runs right alongside of the property. Beautiful and serene! Campsites are spacious. Highly recommend this place. Bonus is that it is family and pet friendly.
