Standing Indian Campground has quickly become our favorite campground. The grounds are very well maintained, the primitive spaces are private, guests are respectful and the restrooms are some of the cleanest I’ve ever seen. Campground also has easy access to several great hikes including portions of the AT. Highly recommend!

Standing Indian is the best campground in the area!!! It is peaceful, mostly local people and everyone is so nice and accommodating. The campground hosts went above and beyond their duty to help our grandson have a great time. One of the host's dog, Tucker, was a huge hit with everyone and his owner was so great to us!! Sissy in the store and our neighbor camper was super and so sweet to us.
Love this place. It is our favorite.
