Whispering Oaks Campground

Only stayed one night (last night of our WA to SC trek) quiet campground. Super easy check in. Cash/check payment. Peaceful and not too buggy. Super friendly people

Pros: staff is very nice and responsive. Large field and playground for the kiddos. Swimming pool looked nice. Hookups worked just fine. All sites are shady with trees

Cons: the sites are super close together. So close that the sewer connection from your neighbor is practically under your picnic table (gross). The bath house is old and grungy - needs renovating. People were mowing grass around their sites pretty much the entire time I was there, which wasn’t very peaceful. There was no dog park or anyplace to let the pups off leash. Seems like a lot of folks here are long-timers. Some need to clean up their sites. Bottom line, I would stay again, but just as a quick overnight stopover.

Just stopped for a quick overnight on way to Florida and didn’t want to tackle the delightful downhill plummet of 24 that occurs a bit past this location in the dark. They thoughtfully called the day before to make sure they’d have someone there to meet me when I arrived. However, I didn’t realize they were on CST when I’ve popped in and out of EST so I was an hour early. Not a huge problem but I did catch them by surprise. At check in, they very thoughtfully guided me back to the site and helped me get in. It was a bit of a squeeze between trees but no problem and having the extra pair of eyes was a huge help as I travel by myself. It was a nice quiet night, off the highway but easy to access. Would recommend and stay myself again.
