Great campground in one of NC's most beautiful areas AND there were bears at camp 2 of my 4 nights there! The showers were nice to have after all the sweaty hiking and the hosts were on top of everything! Will return!!

Great spot and hard working hosts. Only 2 bathrooms is not enough when camp is full. Also trails in cliff side park need trimming. The hosts might advertise for trail volunteers?

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.

We absolutely love this little campground in the woods! It has all amenities we need and nothing more. Camp hosts are available and personable if needed.
