Great place

This is a great little place right on the Callusaja River. There's some traffic noise during the day as Highlands Road is right on the other side of the river. But at night there's very little traffic and the river sound drowns it out. This is a small private park with about 4 campsites that are meticulously maintained. We were able to get our 33' coach in there after unhitching our jeep, but I doubt anything much bigger would fit. Max length was listed at 45' at the time I posted this review. But 45' is total rig length. A 45' trailer or 5th wheel is not getting in and out of there without tearing the place up.

Andy, the owner, has had the place in his family since the 1980's. So he knows the area really well. Him and his wife are very pleasant people. We really enjoyed the stay.

Thank you David! We enjoyed meeting you. You are right about the size. Not sure how to fix that in this listing. Safe travels!

Great little campground!

We just finished up a week stay here, and it was excellent. Andy is a wonderful host and very knowledgeable of the area. If you get a chance, try Cafe Rel (French restaurant). It was suggested by Andy, and it WILL NOT disappoint! Also, make a trip over into highlands to the "Highlands Biological Station, Nature Center, and Botanical Gardens". It worth the drive!

Amazing riverfront camping

Very quiet, well maintained, awesome spot on the river! Andy and Mary were great! From us initially getting there Andy helped get us into our spot and made sure we were all set up for our stay! Having the river steps away to fish and let the dogs swim was absolutely perfect! We are very appreciative of both of them for welcoming us and our fur kids to their little slice of heaven. If you're in the Franklin, NC area, we highly recommend Andy & Mary's spot!

Cute RV campground

This is a small RV and tent campground alongside a creek in the mountains of NC. This site is super close to all the amazing Cullasaja river swimming sites. Although the campground is not very large overall it is well cared for and in an incredible location. You can access the creek right from each of the sites and they are paved with gravel making it easy for those with RVs. The sites are not far apart but since there are not many sites available it doesn’t get too loud or crowded. I would highly recommend checking this site out as a jumping-off point to explore the area.
