Super nice owner

Campground convenient to Lake Lure and Chimney Rock in the mountains. Quiet with a creek running through. Had cell reception and campground at the end of the road.

Restrooms weren't working, so there was a port- a potty. No showers. Did have water, electric sewer. We were in site D, which was not very level.

They have a playground for kids. No wifi.

This is and older campground, cutely done, red neck style. There are a lot of older rigs here, but everyone is very welcoming and nice. We were on site A, its definetely big rig friendly. We travel in 30 TT and we had tons of room. There is a small catch and release pond. The outhouse, has 6 showers 3 each womens, and mens, in front of the building is and old claw foot tub for decoration that sayes Bath 5 cents. it also has a blue johnny house on trailer out front, but no worries they have flush toilets too!

Ok, about Location, its 1.2 miles from Ingels grocery, and its a wonderful store, lots of ready to go food, also Lake Lure at 2 miles with Lake house bar and grill, both inside and outside decks with view of Lake, it even has a boat dock for customers arriving by boat. Chimney rock town and Lake Lure both have nearby shopping at small stores, tons of places to eat nearby, oh dont forget the waterfalls and botanical bridge gardens, tons to do here. The ingels at 1.2 miles also has all your fuels including diesel. We had a lovely Stay! Thank You everyone at the hitching post for being such lovely neighbors!

Father/Son weekend

My son and I stayed here for the weekend. He wanted to tent camp. It was late fall and it was pretty chilly. We fished, cooked over the fire, just hung out, and enjoyed each others time together. Very peaceful and guiet. We'll definitely go back.

Quiet, serene, beautiful, quaint.

This campground is in a beautiful spot. Close to Lake Lure, Chimney Rock, and the Green River. So many outdoor adventures to be had, and if you enjoy tenting or rving, this campground is great. There is a bath house that gives you space to clean up, and every spot has electric and water. The family and staff who run the campground are very friendly and personable.
