The camp host were exceptional and the campsite quite nice. The restrooms and showers were very clean. I stayed in campsite 14 which was nice and quiet and level. A small stream was nearby which provided some comforting sounds at night. I would definitely stay there again.
It is also nice the the campgrounds are close to Highlands and other nice attractions.

Campsite 8 was clean and as described. It was very close to the neighboring campsite and across the street from the site host, who was very nice and accommodating (Thanks Andy!). Recommended for nearby hiking and fishing. Camp is about 1 hour from Nantahala kayak put in.

Woodsy, secluded campground with easy access to a nearby lake. Clean facilities, friendly service.

Campsite was very good. Large, level and private with a small creek nearby you could hear at night. Bath house was disappointing. Showers were in good order but one of two toilets was constantly out of order and the other was constantly out of hand soap.
Still has a great time and enjoyed our stay.
