Our campground was across a small bridge but still within reasonable walking distance from our car. We had a decent sized site with 2 tent pads, table, and fire pit. The biggest downside was our campsite was right up next to the main road so we were kept awake by road noise until really late at night. It also rained in the afternoon and half of the campsite including the walking path had a sandy clay that turned into a really slippery mud that still wasnt dry the next morning.

First time camping at Balsam, great little spot. We chose it because the map showed it to be a bit secluded from other nearby sites. We were camping with a five-month old, so we were weary of her making any noise during the night. With Hobble Creek running right along the site, it provided enough babble to stifle any noises and provided some pleasant ambience. Site is about 20 yards from the neighboring sites, we couldn't ever hear the group next to us.
Be prepared to move your gear between the parking spot and the campsite. Parking space is roughly 30 yards or so from the campsite across a small footbridge, so keep that in mind.
Overall, great spot. Not busy at all during the weekday, one of the reasons we picked it. Would love to come back. The one downside is the group before us left a lot of trash and roasting sticks just laying around, we had to clean that up before setting up our mess space.

It gets dark here at night, so remember your flashlight/headlamp and/or firewood.
I didn’t notice any mosquitos, so that was nice.
The Deer Creek Trail was not clearly marked when I took it (had fallen trees across the path; forked at one point, and ultimately ended at a dry creek bed which I suppose could have been the destination), but the view was still rewarding.
