Clean and wonderful campsite with tons of gorgeous hiking nearby. Only complaint was that the campground host played music too loud, too often, when we just want to hear the sounds of the forest.

{"text"=>"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!", "languageCode"=>"en"}
