Well kept campground near outdoor activities

The wooded property is clean and neatly trimmed with new tent pads of crushed stone. Campsite is less than a 15 minute drive from the Nantahala Outdoor Center and the AppalachianTrail, and even closer to Lake Fontina. Nearby activities include white water rafting, hiking, kayaking and canoeing. There is firewood onsite for $5.00 per bundle and ice for $3.00 per bag. They provide a fire pit, picnic table, water and electric hookups, but not sewer. Also, there are no grills provided, so plan accordingly. Also, the comfort station (bathroom, showers, and laundry) is at the top of a very steep hill, making middle-of-the-night bathroom trips difficult. But all the facilities are impeccably clean, well stocked and well-maintained, and provide benches and hooks for belongings while showering.

It was easy to book and the staff is friendly and helpful. They even switched us to a larger pad to accommodate our large cabin tent. Office hours were 8-12 and 3-6, so again, plan accordingly. We went the first week in June to view the synchronous fireflies. We enjoyed a very pleasant stay and would definitely stay with them again.
