I got reservations online and then when we got there our campsite with hookups had been taken, so we had to park our 32 ft camper in a spot not big enough with no hookups. Online it said half of the campsites were first come first serve so a few other friends pulled in and set up, but then had to move when the camp host said that the spots were no longer first come first serve even though it said that on recreation.gov. It's a nice campground, but was not happy with the way things were run. I also paid full price and didn't get any hookups.

Enjoyed our stay at Raccoon Branch in June 2020. We stayed at site 8 right beside the creek and the trail head to mountain trail. Bathrooms were clean and campsite was quiet. Remote with no mobile service. Firewood on-site was wet from recent rains but general store in small town only about ten minute drive from campground. Good experience and we would definitely return to camp here again. Great escape from heat of Piedmont during the summer months.

I stayed at Raccoon Branch campground for a week in my fifth wheel RV. The park was very clean, I had a nice site, enough for my RV and to park my truck. The park host was very helpful as there was an issue with the breaker that kept tripping and needing to be upgraded. There were things to do not too far away from the park to enjoy and a store if needed fairly close also. I will stay at this park again if ever in the area.

We enjoyed Raccoon Branch very much, it was quiet and peaceful. The cool breeze coming down off the mountain was refreshing. Close to small town for groceries and gas, and only 13 miles off the interstate. Danny the campground host was very helpful, I will go there again very soon.

Excellent campsites, beautiful mountain view. Friendly and helpful camp host named Andy, I believe. Enjoyed our stay while we were there and highly recommend it for those who like primitive camping. They do have RV spots as well.
