Customer Reviews
Very disappointed in the condition of this campground. The spot we had by the creek was nice but if we would not have had an extra long electric plug in cord we would not have had electricity. Where the outlet is normally on the drivers side of the camper, it was on the opposite side, along with the water connection. The older man in the office was very short and mean with his answers to our questions, like we were bothering him. The showers and bathrooms were very dirty and very outdated. The doors to the stalls did not even latch. The pool looked clean enough but there are no chairs or tables there, so bring your own. The whole place is very unkept. Good location to Chimney Rock and Lake Lure.
I stayed here for one night back in June and that was more than enough. The cabin (we stayed in number 10) had ants crawling all over the place (even into the bags we put on the table to avoid them), beds were so uncomfortable(reminded me of the beds you would see on jail shows), and it looked liked they hadn’t properly cleaned the cabin as we found a child’s toy under the bed and a pacifier in another. The front desk was very helpful + nice and the location is great! I would suggest to management do a good cleaning and invest in some more comfortable beds.
Ended up deciding not to stay since we would be camping right beside a ledge on uneven ground with our 1 and 2 year olds, was also told the pool would be open before we got there, it was closed. So we told them it wouldn't work out for us, then was told that would be fine and we will be refunded, all was good. Although, after a few days realized no refund, called them to make sure it went through on thier end but was told we should have picked out a different spot instead of telling them it wouldn't work out.. had we have known that was an option we would have stayed. Do yourself a favor and AVOID this place and the liars who reside there!!
I used to camp here. To be honest the very best campground with the nicest staff. I hope everything is alright out there.
What we thought was going to be a nice camping trip turned into a nightmare. There were spiders and spider webs everywhere, the room itself didn’t look like it had been cleaned in a while and we found bed bugs! They were infested, in the cracks of the walls, they came out when the lights went out, my mama was bit 10 times before we found them. They were in the curtain of the window, they were everywhere. We ended up having to wake the owner up in the middle of the night to get our money back and drove home at 4am. I have a baby so it was not a pleasant trip. This was awful, they were big so they seem to have been there for a while. The bath house was disgusting and looked like it had not been cleaned in so long just filthy, i feel sorry for whoever did have to use the bath house. I would post pics but my sister has them on her phone. This was awful.
First I would like to say, the area this campsite is in is so beautiful and worth the drive but the good experience starts and stops there. My wife and I reserved a few days for tent camping, realized it was going to rain one of the days and decided to upgrade to a cabin. We got the smallest cabin they had for a more outdoorsy feel to our trip and we understand bugs are very prevalent while camping but the cabin genuinely looked like it hasn’t been cleaned in months. The bed was disgusting, there was cob webs in every crevice on the room. And the bugs, The amount of bugs INSIDE the cabin was disgusting. I feel if you have paying guest the least you could do is spray the inside of the cabin so your patrons have an enjoyable experience. I’m lucky that we still had our tent, so we payed for a cabin but ended up tent camping. We decided to cut our trip short so my wife could actually enjoy her birthday. When we went to the office to tell the lady up front we were checking out because of the bad conditions and her response was “well you only had today left anyway”. The rudest owner I have ever met. She then proceeded to say “well I’m sorry” while rolling her eyes at my wife and I. Maybe they know the conditions are disgusting and that’s why they have “no refunds” plastered all over the place. I won’t even get into how disgusting the bathrooms were. If you’re considering this campsite, maybe bring your own RV so it’s actually enjoyable. Other than that please don’t waste your money.
