Awesome campground however the bathrooms needed attention the whole time we were there. Beautiful creek side camping.

Beautiful campground, right next to Joyce Kilmer trail. (I would drive to the TH—it is close but can be dangerous walking.) There are spigots for drinking water and the bathhouses are clean. Sites 2, 3, and 4 are on the river; site 1 is not but you can still hear it and walk to it. Two things I would have done differently: download hiking maps before going—absolutely no cell service. Pack your own beer/wine—the ingles in robbinsville is convenient for grabbing camp food on the way in but it’s a dry county! Overall a wonderful trip—definitely will return!

Bathrooms are in dire need of painting. The shower is totally unacceptable... gross. After the crew cleaned, they left a little tiny amount of soap at the sink, we are in a pandemic!! The days before the crew there was no soap, I waited till they cleaned the bathroom, so they just put not even an inch of soap in a small store bought container.

Policies & Rules
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
