This is a fantastic campground. The camp host is extremely helpful and friendly. The sites are fairly private, the bathhouses were really clean, and the lake is beautiful. The mountain bike trails at Jackrabbit Mountain are great for all skill levels. Our 7 and 10 year old loved it and my husband thought they were fun as well. We have already booked another stay for September. There are no hook-ups in the campground so if you’re in a camper just be prepared. This is one of our favorite campgrounds now in the Carolinas now.

Very nice location. If you have a pet there isn't much to do. Restrooms have no hand soap or sanitizer dispensers but nice electric hand driers which seems odd especially now. There is no control over drive thru traffic.

Loved the campsite #43, under the trees, level, and just across from the water. Came to MTB and we could bike there on a connector trail from the campground, as well as to the swim beach and boat ramp. Lovely ride across that pasture. Sweet little fishing pier.

The campsite was amazing. However the cleanliness of the bathrooms left a lot to be desired. They were not kept up we were there for 3 Days and they were dirty the entire time. Also some of the bathrooms were locked for the 1st 2 days because they were out of order but they didn't put an out of order sign so you just kept going hoping no one was using them. They need new camp hosts.

This site was in loop C, and we stayed during a holiday weekend. Whenever the campground is full, the bathrooms and showers in this loop are insufficient to meet the demand, and we ended up waiting in line to use the facilities or biked to loop B to avoid the wait. All toilets and showers each have their own door, which was really nice. There are only two toilets and two showers in loop C, while there are 8 toilets and 8 showers in loop B. The tent pad for this site was 5 ft from the tent pad for site 82, which is nice if you know each other, but awkward if you don’t, or don’t want to make friends. The driveway was one of the few in loop C that will accommodate a short trailer, and there are trees between the driveway and road, unlike most In the loop in which you are just pulling over to the side of the road.
As for the activities, we biked, hiked, and kayaked, and really appreciated the connector trail from the campground to the bike trails. There are also two nice hiker only loop trails near the boat ramp. Plenty of shoreline to launch kayaks, but in loop C, you may have to carry them as much as 50 ft to the water’s edge. We really enjoyed our time here with our two boys, ages 11 and 13. We plan to come back, but will plan ahead to get a site on the outside of loop A or B. For a last minute booking, we couldn’t have asked for a better getaway.
