Amazing camping spot!! The hosts are so nice and accommodating. It’s also a very clean/quiet area and lastly it’s very close to panther falls and other hiking destinations. Overall very fun camping experience.

Such a great campground. I loved the easy access to Carson. Check out Panther Creek Falls if you're looking for an awesome hike in the area. Also highly recommend Backwoods Brewery if you're into that scene!

Camp sites are well separated. Very private. Good location, just outside of Carson. Well kept. Clean bathrooms.

The campground is very well maintained. The bathrooms were very clean and didn't smell bad at all, fully stocked with TP. The one water well pump was broken but the other one had the best tasting water I've had in a long time. Would defenitely stay here again.

This campground was clean, peaceful, and private. Each site had a good amount of space between, so even though the campground was full it felt like we had ample privacy in our space.

Lovely campground with big, mostly private sites. Could be improved with more trash cans, ideally at the toilets.

I had such a wonderful experience at this campground!! Very serene, peaceful place with great creek access. My site (#12) had neighbors on many sides but because of the density of the trees, still felt very private!
