The office staff was wonderful and accommodating. This site was very loud (close to the road) and very minimal privacy - I felt like I was camping *with* my neighbors on both sides. I would not stay here again.

The campsite is close to Mt.Mitchell, thats nice. However, the camp is right next to a highway so you definitely dont get the in complete nature feel. Probably will never return but it wasnt that bad.

Had a great time at the park. The site was ready for us and we enjoyed fantastic weather. The river at the Hemlocks is always such a thrill! The only recommendation I would have is to ensure all bathrooms are operating at all times. Nevertheless, no issues.

Overall, we had a good camping experience. Camped at site 35. The sites were spacious, flat and wooded but our site was closer to others and didn't offer much privacy. The camp sites are not very far off the 2-lane highway that bisects the campground, which can have big trucks and loud motorcycles travelling on it ay all hours. I am sure the loudness varies by site so staying further up the campground or next to the river likely helps.

There is a small trail that starts out of the back of the campground and circles down to the river but you can tell it is not used much. Its an easy hike, good for all ages. The river is the main feature here and offers a lot of activities, swimming, jumping, tubing, fishing, rock climbing, sun bathing on rocks, wading, etc. The water was a bit cold for us to fully enjoy the river all day but we put in a few hours. It would be spot on mid June and into the summer.

The campground was operated by FIND. They seemed to be very present and helpful for camp hosts. They also operated a small supply store with drinks, snacks, ice cream, and tubing supplies.
