“The campground was nice clean people were very nice that own it”

Margaret Anne LaBossiere K 5 · Jun 2026 · Campspot

“Nice location,by the river just hearing it run very relaxing. Clean bath house. Just a nice place to come not to from from Bryson City and Cherokee.”

Bilsen P 5 · Jun 2026 · Campspot

“The new Teepees were great! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The rain wasn’t too bad but it did wet the perimeter of the teepee and something got pretty wet so just raise everything the best you can or pack in water proof bags.”
