When I arrived, my spot had been occupied by other campers. This was no big issue thanks to the camp host, Liz. She searched her paperwork again (She had been out the last few days before this) and saw that she had checked old documents. Luckily there were several other spots available for my same stay duration. She then walked me around the campground to view them personally and let me take my pick. Truly the best of a bad situation. Could not thank her enough for her kindness.

My family and I reserved from fryday to monday. We arrived on Saturday and out spot was picked for someone else. We contacted the host and ahe explained to us that we have to check in 24hrs before out check in date. We did not know that. She was very nice and found another camp site for us. So be aware you have to check to keep your camping spot.

The host is there but pretty much nonexistent. Did not know how to check in for a reservation and read everything on the board and still had no clue.
I was in site 1 and when i say the rushing water was loud im not joking. No service on att and tmobile. I was there for only an hour and within that time my car was swamped with fire ants and spiders. Plus the site was dirty with rubbish. Clearly the host isnt really a host more a land renter. Site 1 is also located right next to the trail parking so zero privacy and you have to question why am i paying when they dont have too for literally the same kind of spot, if not cleaner. Ended up leaving and staying at cherokee rest stop 15min down the road. Will not recommend or be back to this campground.

Great improvements noted. I think the non flush toilets were cleaned out. Still had a few days of not TP though. Great job on gravel driveway and nice hot water in showers.

The campsite appeared decent, but prior to our stay, a storm had passed through and knocked a branch down into our intended campsite. The hostess did accommodate the selection of a new site. However, the site also did not have potable water due to power failure, and we were not alerted to this situation until arriving. Indubitably, the camp site was in disarray due to the storm, but it would have been nice to be alerted to the lack of potable water before arriving.
