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.

We stayed here last summer and loved it so much that we went out of our way to camp here again. The campground has such a cozy, family-friendly feel, with a big field for kids to play in and the river right across the road for splashing around or trout fishing. It's cool and comfortable at the campground (even in the summer!), the restrooms are clean, and the grounds are well-maintained. Kim and Ronny are so kind and welcoming and are some of the hardest working hosts we have ever met! They make the campground feel like home, and our family always feels cared for because of the special way they run this place. One of our favorite places to camp!

The campground attendants were very kind and helpful. They helped me out with boiling water each day and sharing information about the area. Great experience! Highly recommend!

We stayed at Sunburst campground for 11 days and had a wonderful experience, due to our camp host (Ronny Scruggs), who provided a friendly and helpful stay and entertained us with warm and funny stories (+ homemade apple butter)!! What a treat! We'll be back again next year to enjoy Ronny's hospitality and the gorgeous surroundings!
