The day use people are ruining the camping experience! We were there when port a John’s we’re being used the day use people filled them up in one day and you could smell them from camp sites. Not to mention it was so unsanitary. We left early because it was so unsanitary! Still waiting to see if we can get a refund! People walking through the camp sites that aren’t even camping was so not called for! I would not recommend this place now at all! We have camped here for years and now it is just so sad and not worth coming there anymore! I not sure we will ever be back at this point unless things change!

The campground would be so much nicer with water and electric! It’s hard to carry water for every little thing you have to do…

Always a great experience. My only suggestion is to add paper towels in the bathrooms.

This place is my favorite for car camping. The first time we've had riverside and the sould of the South Toe was wonderful. We had #2 and the space is big enough for an 6 person tent, but not much more. Close to the clean bathrooms and camp store. A trail to the river right beside our camp made our oldest happy to go hang out by the water. Hiked the Carolina Hemlock trail part way until too muddy, but still a nice walk in the woods. Love this campground!

Nice campsite on the river but the sites and drive are too small for bigger rigs (ours is 32’ and the driveway was very dicey). It rained the whole time and the campground is so shaded that it was hard to tell day from night.

This is a beautiful little campground. We were there in late October with only a couple other campers. Nice bathroom and shower facilities but no electricity which was fine with us. Keeps the noisy amateurs out.

Awesome recreation area. Tent sites are a bit smaller and not as private as other parks but the recreation area more than makes up for it. None of the sites are directly on the water but very close access and able to hear the stream at night and early AM. We will go back.
