• "My first time back camping in 20 years and could not have picked a better spot! Close enough to not worry about gear failure, far enough to be surrounded by woods, access to Lake Wylie, CLEAN RESTROOMS and showers with hot water, power even at the Tent sites, super nice staff, and priced right. I can't say enough good things here. I'll definitely be back."
• "I've stayed at a lot of campgrounds, and this is easily one of the best I've ever been to. The service is next level—you can tell the people working here genuinely care about the place. The times I've stayed here it's been consistently clean."
• "What I like most are the hiking trails which are very well maintained. The campground is secluded but close to the city. Cell coverage can be hit or miss. The booking site can be a bit tricky to use but just give them a call. They will talk with you over the phone and help you find the perfect spot."
• "At the end of the day, it's the people who work here that really make this place the best. They go the extra mile, and it shows."
