Camp ground host was an invasive, burnt out older man who yelled at us as soon as we pulled up because if you bring a trailer it’s considered 2 vehicles. This site doesn’t hAve a matching photo. It’s site 20s photo so know that going in. We agreed to sign up for another first come first serve site but couldn’t because campground host kept the slips to sign up (that are suppose to be available at the front of the campground) in his camper at all times.
He was conceding, rude and I’ll never go back.

The campground itself is beautiful. Our site was right on the water. Sites are very private.
Bathrooms are rough. Ran out of toilet paper several times. The worse part was the camp ranger. Very rude, miserable and nasty. Almost ruined our weekend. Other than that we had a great time.

I really like camping here ! OHV trails are in good shape and fun to ride, Kings Mountain Point is a great place for walk. Lots of hiking trails, sunsets at the lake are awesome. Nice clean facilities.

Very nice campground with a lot of trails available for hiking. The individual sites are not as far apart as I like but overall it was a very good experience. I will be back!
