Our stay at the campground this weekend was not good. There were only 4 sites taken on Saturday best we could tell. A lady in a Van , appeared to be by herself she just stayed to herself and the the Camp host site and then another group of what appeared to be children and 2 aggressive dogs on the other side of campground. The site host and the children/dog site obviously were of some relation/ acquaintance they ran back and forth all weekend. The dogs were very aggressive acting , lunging and barking on the end of their ties every time I walked to bathroom. I was scared they were going to break loose. The children would be sent from the host site to scream at the dogs or throw them in a car. I was attempting to change clothes in the womens bathroom Sunday and a knock at the door was a girl , I told her I was freshening up would be a moment . She made a growling noise and walked off, she then came back beating on the door screaming there is only 1 bathroom . I quickly got dressed and came out , this is one of the children with the host inbetween the 2 sites. My husband and I packed up and left a day early . We could not enjoy the campground , between the dogs , and no respect, from the host guest or family whatever they were . There were broken glass beer bottles all around our site. We will not go back unless a host change.

This is a beautiful campground, very quiet, nestled in deep woods, with excellent hiking trails very close by. I'd recommend camping here for a night or two and exploring the nearby trails. The road is windy and steep, so it takes some time to wind up to the campground from town, but it's worth it!

The campground host was great and helpful about finding hiking trails. One bathroom with flush toilet but usually no wait and it was cleaner and better maintained than most campground bathrooms for the price. Unfortunately, site 5 was close to the road, so I recommend site 6 or 7 if you want to have the creek to lull you to sleep. Nearby Black Bear Resort with firewood and refreshments. Roan mountain State Park/Pisgah trails a must see for beautiful vista views.

A great little campground up in the mountains. We were there in mid-August, and while it was hot during the day, it cooled off nicely at night. There's a little river that runs by the campground that our kids had fun splashing around in, and a few hiking trails close by. Also, the campground host is wonderful, and has a friendly cat that our kids loved. None of us wanted to leave!

This area is not for everyone, but if you are looking for a place to get away, this is your place. You are about 5 miles from any stores or anything, and the mountain you have to get up to the sites is very steep. The camping area is on a large flowing creek, and is a place for fishing primarily. Great place for photos and hiking as well. There are only about 12 sites or so, and the host is exceptional. He goes way beyond the scope of most campground hosts. He knows the area, makes time to get to know the campers, and is an unlimited source of information. There are no showers, but there is a campground about 6-8 miles away, where you can use their showers. There are bathrooms (1 ea) male and female, with toilet and sink. Water is cold. Expect your evenings to be at least 10 degrees or more colder than the temps at the bottom of the mountain.
