Great campsite! We stayed in Loop 5 and it was very private. A lot of tree cover for privacy, and a little rain protection. Quick walk down to the creek too. We will definitely come back here!

Site 13 is a dream. Two weeks of the Nantahala lulling us to sleep every night. Judy and the folks at the camp store always make you feel welcomed.
