Great little campground, especially for the price! Water but no electrical hook-ups. Vault toilets and no showers so plan accordingly. Very beautiful little 1 mile campground loop trail must be spectacular when rhododendrons are in bloom. Fall colors were at peak and the road following Paint Creek to the French Broad is filled with great fishing holes. All around a wonderful place.

Loved it. We were on the upper end and were the only ones in that section. Only complaint we had was a barking dog. It barked all day and night. Luckily we could barely hear it since it was in the lower section. I could not imagine being in that area listening to it 24 hours a day.
