TravelerNicely spaced, shaded, and quiet camp ground. A lot of people camp here with their jeeps, sidexsides, and 4wheelers. The bathrooms and showers aren’t fancy but are clean. There’s a boat ramp right by the entrance. Overall an awesome camp ground!
GuideREX COBLE is the owner of this campground. My father and I stayed here for months. Seemed like a good guy. We were so wrong. Left for another job and has been sitting there in storage until we were ready for hotshot. Paid 6 months advance $100/month for storage. Not even a week later it gets broken into. Police were involved. Report was made. Now he won't answer any of our calls. Acting like my father's camper isn't there. 2015 Sandpiper fifth wheel he stole from my father. The insurance agent we sent seen it was moved and hidden in the back by a pond and brick building. He ran that person off his property. Now we finally get an answer and he is demanding $2,500?! When he’s already been paid in full and for storage?! There is people living in it?!? Without our permission. I’m assuming his family or friends. All our belongings are gone. Inside is destroyed from multiple pit bulls living inside an people and outside from when they kept moving it to hide it. Our whole life was in there. The most inhumane thing you can do to someone. Having to get law involved once again. He never gave us any documentation when we moved in and always gave us the go around. Oh I’m busy or out of town response. Biggest crook and con of Anson County. I highly suggest you do not stay here or do any business with this person!
GuideThis is an excellent place to stay. It’s very clean, lots to do, beautiful view of lake. Great hiking trails.
TravelerBeautiful peaceful, deep woods campsite. Super easy access for any car.
TravelerWe stopped for the night on our way to Florida and arrived late. Liz was very accommodating and welcomed us with a thoughtful gesture of cheese, jam, and crackers. The web check-in process was seamless and efficient. The farm itself was lovely, with a variety of animals. However, there were a couple of areas for improvement. The electrical hookup was limited to 120V, and having a 30amp or 50amp hookup would have been more convenient. Additionally, the shower was out of order during our stay. Despite these issues, we enjoyed our time at the farm and appreciated the warm hospitality. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.
ScoutWe have stayed at this campground four times so far. The facilities are excellent and the staff is amazing! My daughter begs to come back because of all the amenities - playground, mini-golf, arcade, gem mining, etc.
GuideLike the way the campsites take advantage of the rolling terrain. Campsites are roomy. Lots of shade. We had a substantial deluge while there, and the water drained just fine. Nice shower facilites. We stayed at the F Loop. Sites F36 and F40 are situated so the awning side of the camper has a direct, unobstructed view of the water. Also liked the numerous trash cans near the sites.
ScoutClean bath house with hot showers. We enjoyed the hiking trails. Dump station was open, but did not have water to flush tanks or fill water tanks as water was shut off for the winter. There were water spigots throughout the campground that we could use. It was pretty empty and quiet.
TravelerI absolutely love this spot! I’ve been here a few times now and it was absolutely incredible! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a chill hike and a nice campsite!
