Nice place. Nice volunteers. Need to get the mud out of the dumping station water pump. Sink water was good and potable, though.

Site F042 with the creek behind us was very Nice. We stayed Oct 29 to Nov 1. The fall foliage was beautiful. Unfortunately it was rainy the first two days. There were not many at the campground. We went to the Cherokee village, Mingo Falls, drove some of the Blue Ridge pkwy. Went up to Kuwohi (Clingmans Dome) The observation deck was closed. It was in the 20's with ice and freezing fog. Pretty neat actually.
