A babbling brook… and a freeway

The camp owners are wonderful! They were very accommodating and helped us with any need we had. The campground is beautifully laid out with a stream running between the tent and RV camping. There is a pool and rec room that looks fun for all ages. The only reason for not giving five stars is because it’s very close to a freeway. There’s quite a bit of truck and car noise from the freeway. Between the cars rushing by, the sound of the stream is peaceful and serene. The fall foliage is exquisite.

Forever in my ❤️

This was my first camping trip, campground ever. I was very spoiled by these owners! Pool was great, camping store had everything and did not gauge prices. The trucks at night were troublesome the first night…but I have found that sleeping in a tent you will hear cars from very far away anyway. Grab some ear plugs. I also felt safe here, the owners do rounds with wood and I see them around a lot. If so had any questions, They just went above and beyond for me and mine. Hope some of you stay here sometime.

Not so peaceful

Right off the highway with lots of loud trucks and bikes. The campground is very busy with loud activity from other campers at all hours

Dig this!

This spot is great! Super friendly folks there. Not to much to do in the area but it is somewhat close to the Appalachian Trail if you’re into that. It seems like the camp ground always has something fun going on. Stayed here a couple times and plan on returning!

Quite camp

Nice and quite campground, owners were amazing and very accommodating. Only power sites were all gravel. Could use some grass tent sites with power. Other then that this place was very quite, owners helped haul firewood to our campsite so we didn't have to carry it.
