Excellent staff, and super friendly. My first site was so unlevel that my sewer hose would have to run uphill. My front to back had a 16"downhill difference. But they gave me a better site.
Janice Baker
Very well laid out campground. The staff was friendly and accommodating. We have been here twice in the Spring and Fall, and enjoyed the quiet shoulder seasons. The pool is clean and adequate size. The views of the lake are amazing.

First time here, not great at communicating! Don’t have site that we reserved, and then had 2 move to 2 different sites. Reserved full hookups and only for water and electricity. Definitely will be reconsidering using thousand trails.

Nice area, but the sites are run down, need an extra long water hose as you share with the next site. The sewer connection was missing on site 202. I dug out the pipe an pushed my sewer hose in, certainly not up to NC code of a sealed sewer connection.

This place needs some serious work done in all aspects!! From management down to the condition of this park. The roads are horrible, washed out and hard to navigate through out especially with large rigs pulled by large vehicles. ( I'm about 70ft long all together) The assignment of sites is a complete and utter shit show. Booked ours online, confirmed everything days before and got my site assignment. Then got here, and they put me in whatever they felt like and just had to deal with it because everything else was taken including the site I was originally assigned!! Our site was obviously not what we booked (FHU) and very unlevel. It took alot of blockes to finally get our rig somewhat leveled out but still not completely. The spots are really tight and unnecessarily close together. Some of the staff I delt with were friendly and sympathetic to our situation and agree the assignment of sites is causing major problems throughout but alas nothing will happen to change anything.
