The upgrades are welcomed. Showers need some kind of barrier on floor to keep water from running across entire floor.

Thank you for providing such a wonderful campground experience.

I wanted to share that my stay meant more to me than just a weekend of camping. My grandmother lived along the Pound River many years ago, and hearing her stories while growing up is what inspired me to visit the area. Staying at your campground allowed me to reconnect with a piece of my family’s Appalachian history.

As a cancer survivor, widow, mother, and now grandmother, this trip was part of my journey back to the things I love—traveling, camping, exploring, and learning more about where my family came from. Waking up during that mountain rainstorm and listening to the river was one of my favorite memories of the trip.

Thank you for preserving such a beautiful place. I’ll definitely be returning and sharing my experience with others through my SmithOutdoorz adventures.

Sincerely,
Michelle Smith

Policies & Rules

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
