We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. We stayed four days and three nights. One of the many things we loved was the access to many trails, including the Appalachian Trail. Also, being close to Franklin was a plus. We highly recommend this campground!

This campground is beautiful! We love it and will return but our last visit was a disappointment because the rules were not enforced. The restrooms are always clean and the hosts are great! Bears can be a problem so keep things locked up, we had a bear get into our truck and it caused thousands of dollars of damage.

Pretty campground. Agree with other reviews that loop 5 is most private. Loops 2-4 are in wide open fields. Camp store has wood, ice, some novelty desserts, and souvenirs.
