Group campsite C provided a wonderful, well shaded area for our extended family camping get together of 45 people including adults and children. Parking is convenient at the site with spots for 6-8 cars.
The site is large and provided 5 pads to set up large tents as well as plently of room to set up smaller tents and hammocks. One draw back was that there were only 2 picnic tables at the camping site.
Group campsite C has a large fire pit. The fire pit does need cleaning and the rocks around the fire pit need to be reset. There is also an amazing grilling area separate from the firepit which we loved.
Access to the lake area is about 1 mile down the road with plently of free parking. The route is easy to walk but driving and parking was helpful for children, coolers, chairs and beach stuff.
A pit toilet is located right near the site which was clean and flush toilets with showers are just down the road easily walkable.
Everyone had a great week!!

Campsite was spacious and easy to access from the parking area. Could definitely use another two picnic tables though. With it being rated up to 50 people, having more places to sit and eat would be great. There could also be more signage that indicates where the sites end and begin. Site C and D had a pathway between them that made us believe that they were all one site. It was not until we walked out to the road within the group camp that we could tell that these were two different sites. Signage on this path that indicates when you are leaving one site and entering another would be great.
Floating down the Uwharrie River is a blast. You can put in at the Coggins Mine location and float down to the 109 takeout for a nice 7 mile trip. Great way to spend 4 hours.

Some of these burns will be next to and around this recreation facility and may cause smokey conditions during the actual burning and for the days following the burns. Sometimes we do not make a decision until the very morning that we will be able to do the burn due to weather and staffing. If you have questions about the prescribed burning possibility please call the Uwharrie National Forest Ranger District office at 910-576-6391 for updated information.
