Carolina Hemlocks Rec Area

Great little spot, along the river, very close to trails.
Clean facility

Still suffering effects of flooding from Hurricane Helene. You can tell work has been done, but please be aware of road closures - the Blue Ridge Parkway in particular. There is currently only one way in and one way out - you can only approach from the north. Beautiful campground, but tight for trailers. Only 2 men's and 2 women's toilets and same for showers.

We love this campground. The kids have a blast tubing the river, and the location is beyond beautiful. The staff are always friendly and I really like their little store! A total win. We come every summer.

Great location. Nice hot showers and easy river access for tubing or fishing

Great stay with beautiful coooool nights!
Only a couple of disappointing things: 1. The campground hosts didn't police the site between campers, so we had a LOT of cleaning up to do including a big pile of dry dog food (?) and piles of dog feces.
2. There were some people camping one of the nights that must've been in the upper area and were LOUD and obnoxious. Screaming, cursing, loud music well past midnight. It woke many of the neighbors around us, and it didn't seem the hosts cared a bit. Made for a long night.
Otherwise a great triip.

The pavilion is huge! The pavilion area was clean, the ground was flat, and tables were sturdy. We had plenty of room for our large group which included little kids and elderly people. The park attendants were friendly and answered all questions. A short set of steps led down from parking. The main swimming area and restrooms were an easy walk.
