Absolutely the most relaxing and Beautiful Place on the river! Make sure u shake hands with the Land Lady herself The Beautiful Miss Porsha, she may even fix ya some lunch!!
My family and I went there on July 10,2015 and loved it. Very clean, nice, quiet. We did some fishing and caught a few little ones; maybe next time we'll catch the big one. Owner is very nice and helpful. Enjoyed it very much there.
We had a great experience camping right on the Catawba river. Porsha is an incredible host and would stop by frequently to visit with us and see how we were doing. She has a really beautiful piece of property and does everything she can to ensure her guests are comfortable and happy. One evening she even ordered us dinner and loaned us some money to pay since we had just come off the water with no money. She guarantees great spacing between campsites and shares her entire piece of property with you. This is a perfect place if you don't mind the camping being slightly primitive without water, sinks, showers, etc...I rated a 4 because there is some industrial and road noise at the campsite that keeps you from being 100% lost in the woods. Also, on the day we rented Kayaks we were to get a 10 a.m. start but the boats arrived late at 12:30 so we got a late start. Not a big deal but we would have preferred to have left earlier. Overall, this is a great spot and would definitely return again. Thanks Porsha. You are awesome!
