Nice campground on Carters Lake
I really enjoyed myself at Doll Mtn. My site #38 had no sites on either side and a nice tent platform overlooking Carters lake. The bathrooms were clean but old and right across from my site. No access to the lake is the only drawback.
A Mt with a View!
Great views overlooking lake. Level site, full hookups.
Beautiful nice and quiet
Site 11 was paved and nice and level. It has a trail from site 11 down to the lake (fairly steep trail but not too bad) so I was able to carry the paddleboard down and just access the lake from there, which was nice. I just tied up my board and left it there all weekend. The lake is beautiful! There are so many mountain bike trails within 20-45 mins from this location, so we tried out several different trails. AT&T service was decent, one bar but still able to watch football.
Camp hosts are so nice, they do not sell firewood, but the host let us have some of theirs, which was so kind.
