“Amazing atmosphere and views. Heaven on earth!! Can't wait to visit again!!”

Roger B 5 · Jun 2026 · Campspot

“The campground is clean and the grounds are well kept. The staff is accommodating and very friendly. I love to camp here.”

Ramona M I 5 · Jun 2026 · Campspot

“Beautiful location, great for fishing. Quiet, well maintained, good staff. Only drawback, maybe, No signal of any kind. You have to go up 2 miles to top of mountain to get signal. There are day facilities and picnic areas there. It is also where the Appalachian Trail goes thru.”

Henry H 5 · May 2026 · Campspot
