Nice cheap place to camp. Personally I would have liked some more space between the camp sites and more trees. But for $5 it’s pretty good. There is a pit toilet here also. It’s first come first served, so it could be full on nice weekends. Also, bring $5 bills. Paying is a self service drop box type thing.
Beautiful well keeped forest and park and campground! The creek wraps around the sites and close trails. We liked the campground enough that we stayed again on our home from NC. Primitive camping, vault toilets. Some reviews state that the sites are close, I suppose maybe, but everyone was polite. $5. Maybe only one or two sites if towing a larger RV. Cheers! Gretchen (PA)
As minimal as my wife will accept :) - that is - there are pit toilets - that's it. No shower. No running water - except that all the camp sites are right next to the river, so there is plenty of running water. And for $5 a night, that is pretty sweet.
If you love disconnecting from everything for a few days, this is the place to be. I love it here because it's peaceful
Love this place! Wonderful camp sites with reasonable privacy.
