Eggleston Springs Campground

Great place for your family awesome river experience

We went for the music and it was so fun. Everyone was so friendly. The camp ground is tucked away near the river. Was a nice place. We dont camp, but will definitely be going back for the events this summer.

Hurricane Helene did a number on this place and there is a ton of work being done to it. However, this place is not for everyone. There is a train track that borders the property. Yes, trains do go by and they are loud. There is another train track across the river. Those trains are not that loud.
The property is beautiful and you can camp next to the river. There is no sewer there but there is next to the train tracks. There is a small boat ramp.
My wife and I had never experienced anything like it. The trains didn't bother us at all.
We took a trip to the Cascade Falls Trailhead. It's a two-mile walk from the parking lot. We're 70 and it took us 2 hours to get there. Just for reference.

We had a nice stay here, right on the river. The man who runs it was very kind and helpful. The site was flat and had electric hookup which was nice. The view of the river and access to it were great! Our daughter loved being able to walk right down to the bank and play while we watched sitting by the fire. The bathrooms were pretty clean and decently stocked. There was a sink for washing dishes which was a nice surprise—though other campers seemed to have clogged it while we were there. They had live music and a shaved ice truck for Father’s Day—a really nice little event to top off a great weekend. A few things to note: There were several ant hills on our site—they didn’t bother us during our stay but it would give once of mind for those to be taken care of. No picnic table at our site and also the fire ring is stone with no grate for cooking. Also plan to get firewood on your way in. He sells it onsite but it was $14 + tax for about 20 pieces of wood. Additionally It seems like no one follows the rules to leash your dog. We had to pick up and carry our small leashed dog on any walk we took because of other people not following the rules. We also felt like we were babysitting other dogs telling them that their dog was swimming down the river. That’s obviously just the luck of who you end up camping beside, but the sites are close together, so you will definitely get to know your neighbors! The train is also very loud and does run several times a night. None of this would keep us from staying here again, but knowing it ahead will help us be more prepared next time! Also—only a 20 minute drive to cascade falls trail—highly recommend hiking it while you are in the area!

Fun little campground!!!! Located in a beautiful area with great view of the river. Dave was the nicest human I’ve probably ever met. If you hate trains don’t stay here but as a big train fanatic I quite enjoyed it.
