The campground is in good condition and the host was very pleasant. Someone on a nearby property spent a significant time shooting every day we were here, which was noisy and not the peaceful environment we anticipated. The large field between the campsites and the road is great for kids to run and play. The road did see a lot of noisy traffic (motorcycles, sports cars en masse, etc.) but the campground was very quiet at night and you could hear the river then. We probably will not stay here again, preferring a quieter experience all around, but if you are passing through or like to fish, it's a good spot. Not far to the Blue Ridge Parkway with close access to Black Balsam, Graveyard Fields, etc. for hiking and recreation.
