Review Summary

This is a wonderful smaller campground that is super close to a number of things to see: dry falls, bust your butt falls, bridal veil falls, Highlands, and Franklin. Right accross the street is some prime fly fishing on the Cullasaja river and there is also a lake adjacent to the campgrounds if you spin fish. The spots are HUGE and pretty spread out and private. There is a tight curve on the campground loop so it might be hard to maneuver a big rig, but if you get a spot closer to the entrance you should be fine. We would definitely come back to this place again!

Very clean. Hosts were very friendly and helped provide insight into local activities. The proximity to Highlands and other local attractions made it a great weekend getaway.

This place is amazing! The camp host is great, its a quiet campground and you can't beat the weather or hiking. There is no internet access with AT&T or GPS for awhile so plan out your hikes or whatever you want to do and download maps.

Beautiful place. Very nice people, especially Joseph. My campsite (#20) was very near the road so I heard every vehicle going by at night and early in the morning.

Beautiful campground with a lovely trail to and around a small lake that was ideal for swimming and picnicking. The campground host was very helpful and friendly and worked hard to keep the bathrooms and showers clean.

We always enjoy staying at Van Hook Glade. The campsites and bathrooms are always clean and orderly, and firewood is always available. Joseph was very friendly and helpful. We will be back!
