Stayed at Group Site B in the Kimsey Creek area. There were vault toilets available at the site and flush toilets/showers within a 2 minute walk. The site was perfect and had plenty of space available for a large group. The camp store is cash only and sells ice, firewood, toiletries, and ice cream. Highly recommend this camp ground and will return!

Very nice campground! I loved being able to hike around and find good fishing spots all at camp. Spaces between sites are a good distance and I could barely hear any generators.

The campground was great. Well kept and the staff was super nice. The firewood was all wet though. Also, not a negative at all, there is no cell service within 20 minutes ride of the place.

One of our favorites because off the lovely folks who man the store year after year. Over the last 15 or so years, we have come to feel they are family. This year we actually were able to connect with them as they enjoyed a reunion. Our grandchildren are now grown, but we and our church groups continue to come. Many thanks! The Carters

Camp staff were very nice. Campground well kept and clean. Bathrooms and showers very clean. Loop 5 has the most secluded sites. Recreation.gov said no dump station but there is a dump station for GREY water ONLY. Group sites well kept with large circular rock fire pits. I agree with other campers that have commented, the camp firewood was not dry and gave off excessive smoke. The only negative was the smell of the pit toilets while staying on group sites A, B and C. The toilets themselves were clean but if the wind blew in a certain direction the smell was pretty strong. Overall, it is a really nice campground run by really nice people.

My favorite campground in N.C. Well maintained. And for car camping it is great in that there are nice buffers between the sites especially in the upper loop. Nice and helpful hosts.
