The park ranger greeted us as we arrived and provided my kids with some Smokey the Bear activity books. The facilities were clean and very convenient. The campsite itself was well maintained. We also took advantage of hiking the Ranger Falls loop which was challenging but rewarding. Can't wait to come back! Thank you!

Lovely, small campground with lots of shade and privacy vegetation. I was very supervised by the flush toilets and showers. Lots of neat things to see in the area.

Great campground! Close to plenty of activities including Dry Falls and free entrance to beautiful Cliffside Lake. Highlands and Franklin are not far away either in case there is a need for groceries. Only downside to this campground is car noise from time to time, but it’s not bad. The bathrooms and the size of sites are awesome. Site 01 is super private and near a small creek. Great location.
