Super clean and small campground perfect for kids. Has a smooth loop for bike riding, lots of giants snails and swimming close by. Mark went above and beyond as a camp host! Emily too when we were swimming at Cliffside :)

We stayed at site 13 (tent) on a weekday and reserved it a few weeks earlier. It was a very pretty area and easily accessible off us64. Clean bathrooms and showers, friendly host, quiet fellow campers. It rained on us almost the whole time but still a beautiful time

Very nice campground, our site was a short walk from a nice creek. Quiet for the most part, though loud cars on the road could be heard occasionally.

Small, beautiful, quiet campground near Highlands, NC. Not for large trailers or RVs. There's a tight loop at the end of the campground that was difficult to get around with my small truck and 17ft trailer. There are older, but clean restrooms and showers and potable water spigots, but no water or power at individual sites. There are several hiking trails and waterfalls nearby and a small but picturesque lake next door!

Stopped in randomly for one night while on the road. Plenty of spots available. Was able to fit our van and trailer. Very quite. Peaceful. Clean. Park staff was very friendly

Beautiful campground but if you want peace and quiet go somewhere else as it’s very close to a busy road, so you are hearing road noise most of the time.

My sister came from Florida to visit and I wanted to take her somewhere fun and refreshing we found Van Hook Glade it was spectacular our campsite was spectacular the managers were super spectacular and yes I would visit there again talk about visiting our Cub scout leaders are looking for a place to go camping in a couple of weeks. And may I add those had to be the cleanest bathrooms and shower rooms I have ever laid my eyes on.

Such an amazing campground and recreation area (nearby and accessible via car or trail from the campsite). Truly one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited!! This campground is small, quiet, and serene, with mostly small groups/families camping at tent sites. Sites were clean and relatively secluded and private as far as car camping goes -- each site was nicely surrounded by woods, and close to clean, single-use bathroom facilities. This campground also features of accessible drive-in sites for folks who use wheelchairs/ have mobility limitations. There are so many sites within a short walking distance to check out, and even more beautiful sites a short drive away. Could not recommend enough!

Great place but throw away your trash a bear came through the night. Bathrooms are a walk away but it’s fancier than a hole
