Nice place, big sites and quiet. Only complaint would be the red colored water from faucets.

Carolina Hemlocks Recreation area is the most naturally beautiful campground at which I have stayed. There are a lot of trees, and the South Toe River is amazing. I did have the opportunity to catch some Trout in the river along the campground. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay at Carolina Hemlocks again!

Great campground! Highly recommend! I was in site #006 - if you're tent camping bring a pad of some sort to sleep it.

The campground was even prettier than the photos suggest. It was lovely to hear the river at night and be so close to such a nice body of water. I will definitely come again!

The online reservation information is inconsistent, the reminder email states check-in is 2:00pm, but elsewhere it states 4:00pm. There were people still on the reserved site at 2:30pm. Dogs were yelping and crying at several sites and nothing was done to resolve the nuisance. I did not report it to the Host to avoid conflict but it was clearly noticeable.

Nice clean cool river for fishing, tubing, especially. I wish they would use leaf blowers!!! Horrible noise plus the rain washes the roads nicely-It was a hot day and I had upper tent flaps down, so I got huge cloud of dust covering the inside of tent plus, of course, my van. MAYBE use a blower around office and sidewalk from office to the swim area but NO WHERE else. Hearing a leaf blower and having clouds of dust coat your picnic table, car, tent, dog water....EVERYTHING is NOT a desirable experience. Otherwise, it is a fabulous campground for tents and SMALL RVs. If they converted the NEVER used picnic sites for campsites for SMALL van camper conversions (no appropriate place to tents) that would be nice for visitors and profitable for FIND.

We stayed in campsite 6 and it was very small. The camp hosts were nice and it was great to have ice and wood on site. The water was brown so definitely bring drinking water. The swimming area was great and we caught a lot of fish. If I stayed again I would not chose a site on the water because the sites in the trees were so much better

Beautiful, secluded getaway! Hosts were awesome, and site was clean and quiet! Only wish there was electricity, but we made do!

The area is gorgeous and the hosts were very nice. Just a heads up- the “riverside” rv spots are right on the road through camp. So I imagine there’s be quite a bit of foot traffic going by those spots in the busy season. Also you can’t see the river from those spots- just hear it.
