Nice park. Site fairly level with plenty of shade. I am glad we did not choose to hook up satellite tv. Very friendly park attendant. Some maintenance items reflect the severe budget cuts to USACE Recreation Programs. Nice experience.

The overall Park is beautiful. We enjoyed all of our walks. The bathrooms were kept clean. There was not any noise and the campsite was clean. Unfortunately our grill was rusted and broken right off its post and we could not use that.

No complaints! All the RV sites we seen were great including the one we chose which was number 6! The bathhouse was a plus and was really pleased with everything about it! Only wish we were able to stay longer!

A good campground to spend the weekend for some downtime. But close enough to town to go and explore if that is something you want to do.

Very nice well kept campground. Hosts were very nice and helpful. Close to places to hike and close to Boone. Wilksboro has many places to eat and shop at. Would be nice to have the site's picnic tables pressure washed. Great campground.
