This was the first state park we've stayed in but has to be one of the cleanest there is. This place was spotless. We stayed on the "B" loop which has electricity and water. Each site has a paved pad wide enough for the camper with a huge pea gravel lot next to it with a picnic table and grill. The lots are spaced so you're not right on top of the people beside you. There was a small stream right behind our site which our kids splashed in. The bath houses are very clean and looked brand new. The whole campground looked new even though it was not. We drove through the park and saw deer standing right beside the road within 10 foot of us. We climbed to the top of the stone which has awesome views. Overall, I can't wait to get back. We will camp here many more times. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We love this park. North Carolina really maintains their state parks well and this one is no exception. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful at check-in and the site was level and clean. There are kids everywhere, so if that's not your scene then this park isn't for you. Our kids rode their bikes constantly and met a lot of other children to play with. All the other campers were nice and seemed to be having a good time also. We will definitely return again and again (but definitely with reservations made way ahead of time). We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very nice campground, completely paved road and parking sites, with a very fine gravel area around a movable picnic table. There are 3 loops, one with electric and water, one for tents only, and one with water spaced around for carrying to your site. There is a dump station and garbage dumpsters available on your way out. Electric and water sites were $20.00 while non-electric sites were $15.00, with a discount given for seniors. Bath houses were clean, though not well heated. Pets must remain on a maximum 6 foot leash, and with all the pavement, watch for youngsters on bicycles. Bicycle helmets required if under 16. We were in site 54 with nice stream behind this site. Plenty of wildlife and hiking available. We would stay there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Beautiful, well-maintained state park in foothills of Blue Ridge Mountains. First time to park and campground which are very pleasant. We stayed on site 48 in B loop for RVs. Loop B sites are paved, flat, with water and electric hookups, very nice RV sites. Loops A & C are tent only with some great tent camp sites but no hook ups. Favorite sites are B loop 55 & 56. Small stream runs through B loop. Access road is steep uphill entering park, but straight into campground. Roads are big rig friendly. Bath houses are clean and functional. No playgrounds at campground, but children will enjoy playing in stream. Amenities include bike riding and hiking. Nearest bigger town is Sparta. $14 per night senior rate. We would visit here again.

This is a beautifully located campground with plenty of deer for the viewing. We enjoyed our hike to the falls in the park. The sites are mostly level and are well kept. We have stayed here several times. The only thing we don't like is that you cannot make reservations. If the showers were redesigned where your clothes didn't get wet, it would be better. A shower curtain would help. All in all, it is a nice campground, but don't expect to have cell phone service. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a wonderful state park campground. The rest rooms and showers were clean, and the sites were very large. My only complaint, and it is a small one, is that the sites with electric hookups (Loop B) are not shaded at all. Very open. But we enjoyed this campground, as well as the park, very much. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Gorgeous state park close to Blue Ridge Parkway. Lots of hiking opportunities right in the park as well as stream fishing. The sites with hookups in area B were mostly open, but since reservations are not taken, sites are on first come first serve basis so if you are lucky you can select one of the few shaded, stream-side sites, but really no site is bad. If you boondock, choose a site in area A. Deer roam freely throughout the park. I don't know about other NC state parks, but this one was immaculately maintained inside bath house and grounds. I gave this park a 9 only because dump station driveway leaves you on a downward incline so big rigs will need to compensate before dumping. Firewood available at ranger station. Very informative visitor center. Be sure to have breakfast at Doughton Park along BRD just 20 miles from campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The sites are very big in size has a dump station. Carry a tote with you for campground. Has no sewer. Great place for kids to play and be safe doing so, can watch them from any camp site. You may be in most of the time. Sites have a fire ring with grill top & table. Plenty of hiking. Water falls wildlife too see the campground is full of deer every mooring. We got up deer was in our site. I live with in 10 to 15 mins from campground we go several times a year and have never been disappointed. Its just a great place to go very layed back and quite. If you plan too come on weekends come in the am sites go fast . We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Campground recently added spots for RV & TT w/ electrical & water hookups. Great quiet campground. Good trout fishing nearby in park. We camped here in a Tent.
For having no hook-ups and almost no amenities, this is an absolutely beautiful campground. The sites are gravel and not bery big. Some of the sites are not level enough for an RV. We stopped here on the way down the Blue Ridge Parkway. There were many deer in the park near dusk. We were the only people in the park except the host. The campground is very quiet as it is out in the middle of nowhere. But, the kids enjoyed such a "remote" experience and the scenery was spectacular! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
