We stayed for 3 nights in September and the camp host was very informative and helpful. The facilities were clean and showers hot thankfully because the temps were in the 40s-50s and it was a good way to warm up in the morning. The attached lake area would be awesome in the warmer months!

Beautiful campground! Wonderful host. Awesome showers. Plenty of open space and distance from other campers. Really looking forward to another trip back.

My dad and I loved Van Hook Glade! It was so well-maintained and pretty. The campsites aren't too far apart, but the way they are set up you have plenty of privacy. Marla, the camp host, was so kind and helpful - we enjoyed talking with her. Definitely check out Cliffside just down the road from Van Hook. There are so many great sites nearby as well - Cashiers Farmers Market, High Falls, Rainbow Falls/Turtleback Falls, Silver Run Falls, Dry Falls...endless activities! I'd love to come back in the summer next year and definitely recommend staying here.
