Though we didn't stay at the campground we hiked the Middle Prong trail right next to it. There are several branches off the main trail both to the left and right allowing for more exploration. The main trail is fairly smooth and quite wide. It's a great hike offering plenty of natures best!

Love this campground. First time here. Spent 3 nights and got to hike some amazing trail in the Shining Rock Wilderness. Camp host Kim and Ronnie are awesome people. Campground is very clean and relaxing. Will definitely be going back.

This is a very well cared for campground. Place is so scenic and clean.
A very nice couple is entrusted with the caretaking apparently.
I was with a motorcycle group and we had a fantastic time.
Running water in the clean toilets, lights in the toilet area and zero litter make this a perfect spot for motocamping

I got there Sunday around 11. I thought i was at bike week in Daytona. The road ran next to the campground. The swimming hole that is pictured had probably 40 people in the water and on the banks. First time at this campground. Looked good in pictures. After it started getting dark everyone left. I built a fire, some people from a couple other campsites came down. Really a nice campground when no one's there. Right next to a river. Great trout fishing.
