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.

Good hiking trails. New, clean restrooms. First NC park with hook-ups. 43 new paved RV sites. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
