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.

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!
