It’s absolutely beautiful. Great child friendly creek. It’s tough to not have the potable water working. Also the hosts never replaced TP and it was out for a while so we had to bring our own in that all the guests used.

Beautiful campground, lots of shade, small stream near our campsites. Overall we loved the campground and our experience there. We had sites #8 and #9, which are kind of tucked away together across a bridge.
I took off a star for two reasons: 1. Site #9 had very small tent spaces! If that had been our only site, I would've been out of luck with my 8-man tent! Happily, site #8 had two or three large tent areas so it all worked out. 2. The bathroom had NO toilet paper our entire stay

Campsites are packed fairly tightly, so hopefully you get courteous neighbors.
Also, the online map is *very* inaccurate. It seemed like 16 & 17 in particular were adjacent, so we reserved those two. They turned out to be about as far apart as possible within the campground.

Balsam Campground was a beautiful getaway so close to home. The campground was clean and shaded, with gorgeous trees everywhere that kept it nice and cool. The sound of the river at night was an added bonus, creating a soothing atmosphere. We will definitely be coming back for sure.
