Awesome campground nestled in the North Carolina foothills. Easy access to great hiking trails. We camped at the group site A and loved the sounds of the flowing stream, clean air, and stars at night.

Great campground. Hosts are very helpful. Sites are clean, many are secluded. Restrooms are kept clean and have appropriate outside lighting with minimal light pollution. I highly recommend this campground.

Great campground and facilities. Quite remote and high in altitude, it makes for a great place to stay cool at night away from crowds.
Definitely a place to go back!

We have been to standing Indian 4 times now and we really love it! Amazing hiking at the campground as well as surrounding area. Many waterfalls to visit/explore. Our kids love all the creeks. Bathrooms are clean with hot showers. The folks in the shop are always friendly and very helpful. We will be back next year!

Camp Ground was clean and well kept. Two very lovely water falls not far. And lots of trails, well maintained for the most part.
