Very nice campground, which wasn’t crowded at all. The only problem is that there are no hook ups and not even a dump station.

Van Hook Glade is a small jewel of a campground. Secluded, wooded, within walking distance of some nice hikes and easy driving distance to Highlands and Cashiers and other hikes. Hosts were very helpful. Bathrooms and (hot) showers are well-lit, warm and clean.

Can hear the road traffic and the host blows leaves off the roads early in the morning. Ugh
Otherwise nice campground
Clean restrooms. Nice hike to the lake
