Primitive Camping By the Creek

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

The sound of moving water carries through this private campsite outside Grover, North Carolina, where a creek runs directly alongside the camping area. The access road is rough, so low-clearance vehicles should approach with care, though the site accommodates RVs up to 34 feet once you arrive. Open terrain gives the site a spacious feel, with room enough for multiple tents and a vehicle parked close by.

The host has put thought into the setup. Firewood is stored in a covered shed to stay dry, and the site includes log seating around a fire ring, a picnic table, and basic tools like an axe and rake. Two trees near the entrance are spaced for a hammock. Reviewers consistently mention the creek as a draw, and multiple visitors note the owner's hands-on approach, including starting a fire before guests arrived after a long drive.

Amenities include drinking water, toilets, and cell service, which sets this apart from more remote primitive sites. At $30 per night with reservations available, it functions well as both a planned stop and a last-minute overnight. Don W. sums it up plainly: "Plenty of firewood and next to a creek." Pets are welcome. Campers wanting full hookups nearby can look at Cherokee RV Park a few miles to the south.

Campers consistently appreciated the spacious creek-side sites, well-maintained amenities including dry firewood and clean facilities, and exceptionally accommodating host. The secluded forest setting provides privacy while remaining accessible.

Close and secluded

My daughter and I decided to camp at the last minute. This place was close to the interstate but still very secluded. Plenty of firewood and next to a creek. I highly recommend.

Great Campsite!

Nice Place! The campsite has a pretty creek and forest. On the campsite there is a lot of firewood to use, in a shed to keep it dry. There are log seats around a nice campfire with a picnic table. Lots of room for multiple tents. The shed also has lots of tools such as an axe and rake. Also two trees near the entrance perfect size for a hammock. Nice bathroom too. Overall, beautiful campsite for a weekend getaway or family vacation.

Road trip camping

We decided to camp last minute on a road trip back from Mississippi. David was very accommodating and flexible about check in and even started a fire for us before we got there! It was very helpful and greatly appreciated after the 11hr drive. The campsite was spacious for us to set up camp and keep the jeep nearby. He provided dry firewood in a shed to keep the fire going which was helpful after the hurricane rains had just been pouring down and soaked everything. There was also a nice little outhouse and creak nearby. Would definitely stay here again if we needed camping in the area.
