Private and convenient sites. Large tent pads (site 13 was 18+ft x 14+ft). Mark, the camp host, was awesome. Came by and checked us in, and kept the facilities in great shape throughout our stay. Great campground!

Small, beautiful, quiet campground near Highlands, NC. Not for large trailers or RVs. There's a tight loop at the end of the campground that was difficult to get around with my small truck and 17ft trailer. There are older, but clean restrooms and showers and potable water spigots, but no water or power at individual sites. There are several hiking trails and waterfalls nearby and a small but picturesque lake next door!
