We were camping. It was a good location. The camp ground was really nice. The staff was awesome as well.

This campground was stunning! Neat, clean, quiet and tucked away a few miles from Saluda, NC. So much green grass and a couple of lakes! Heaven on Earth. This is a must see if you need a campground in this area. You won't be disappointed! We had site D-2.

We stayed in a basic cabin. We were surprised it had a microwave, mini fridge and table. It’s all squashed in but appreciated. The people that run it are super sweet. There are all kinds of activities for kids. If you have kids and they like to participate in group activities, definitely try this campground. Bathrooms are old and need the windows open for more ventilation. However, they are decently clean for a campground with lots of people using it all day.

We stayed in our camper. Our kids ranging from 10-22 years old, loved it. They have a swimming area, fishing, boats for the lake and life jackets, badminton, basketball, golf,zip line, disc golf, ping pong, carpet ball and more. It's a great place for families. We thoroughly enjoyed it. 🩷 Some of the camper spots are a little tricky to get in and out of. My husband is an amazing driver and it took some time getting the camper out.
