We stayed here to visit the nearby gem mine. The road to the campground was very rough! It was gravel and had lots of ruts. There was a big swimming pool which looked clean. There were a lot of permanent campers which were run down and surrounded by junk. The permanents were around the outside loop of the campground, so the other campers had to park in the middle of the loop. All, except maybe one, of the stream sites were occupied with permanents. Not the best choice of campground if you have a big rig. The hookup area, as opposed to tent area, is woodsy. With the trees and having to maneuver our 37ft motorhome, we ended up having about a foot between our slideout and the neighbors. The staff person was nice but we never saw her after checking in and there is no formal office. It was relatively quiet at night. I do not think they take credit cards. We would not stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We love this campground! We first stayed here last spring as we headed back to NH after wintering near family near Albemarle, NC. We loved the atmosphere, and the quiet and the fact that there's a stream to play in! (For us, our kids are grown!) It's laid back, friendly and accommodating, and we can even hang our clothes up, and snuggle into sheets that smell fresh & clean from drying in the breeze! Yes, there are a few permanent sites that could use a bit of cleaning up...but they're definitely not the best sites, and they're all nice people. If you are looking for a relaxed, down-to earth atmosphere(with plenty to do for kids of all ages!)then this is the place for you...it is for us! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Small campground with a lot of permanent campers. There is no store at the campground but Food Lion and Walmart are a short distance away. This CG is about 5 miles from the Hiddenite Gem Mine and is only about an hour and 1/2 away from Boone. Statesville is 15 miles away. The owners are very friendly and run a tight ship. Music and noise are kept to a minimum after 10pm. Very nice trails through the woods. There is a nice pool area and playground. They also have a basketball hoop, volleyball, and horseshoes. I would stay here again if I were in the are but I would not make this campground a destination. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
