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.

We were excited to visit a new place with our camper thru Thousand Trails! We kept wondering why we weren't assigned a spot when we set the reservation. Upon arrival, there's a gate with a "walkie talkie" to speak with someone, and get the info packet from a box at the gate. You DO NOT get to choose your camping spot! The spot had a nice view, but not level AT ALL. The sites were super close together. Our fire pit was right next to the truck of the camper next to us. Very awkward. The beach was VERY nice and clean.. even raked sand! Impressed! If you've never been here before like us, this is mostly a permanent camp spot for most folks. Everyone was super friendly! Golf carts galore. If you're looking for a quiet weekend getaway, IMO, this is not it. Saturday night had loud music, dancing, and drinking by the locals haha! BUT the positive parts are the wonderful ladies that run the store! Peggy is the best! Vast choice of items in the store including ice cream and grill. Mini golf is in the shade and fun..challenging as well! The pool looked very nice and seemed to be popular even tho we didn't try it out. I would say overall, we must likely will not return due to the loudness of the park on Saturday night.

Out of the 15 or so Thousand Trails campgrounds we’ve visited, this one has been our absolute favorite so far! It’s beautifully maintained, and the lake views are incredible. We were greeted by Jim, who was nothing short of amazing—he made us feel truly welcome and, most of all, well taken care of. Talk about hospitality! There’s also a Trading Post with a great little store and an awesome staff. Peggy made us a delicious burger—be sure to try the Gaston Burger; we were seriously impressed! We cannot rave enough! This Thousand Trails location will definitely stay on our list for future travels.

It was our first camping experience and it was a perfect start to our new adventures. Jennifer and Jim went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience. Everyone was so nice and helpful. The ladies in the trading post were so nice, helpful, and really made you feel like family. Such a beautiful place with so much to offer: Saturday DJ that really gets everyone out of the floor, Friday night bingo is so much fun, the swimming pool is great, and great fishing. We met some really nice campers that we hope to see again and have some great advice. This resort is amazing!!!!
