Fantastic campground! Staff was super friendly and we were escorted to our camp site. Facilities a little dated but clean! Pool area was clean! We tent camp, but walking around, the camping trailers did not appear to be crowded together. For us this is a fantastic place to overnight and will return again when traveling through the area!!
The campground was very quiet and peaceful. My 25 year old son was the youngest person there, except for 2 hours when 1 year old came to visit his grandparents. Most of the campers are there long term and were gone for the time we were there. We only saw people in about 10 of the campsites. The grass was beautifully cut and maintained. We had a pull thru site by the lake, it had to be about 100 yards long and nicely graveled. There are three small bathrooms around the grounds, that are single use rooms (sink, toilet and shower) one for women and one for men. If someone was using shower, no one else could use bathroom. They were clean but it seems they don’t get used very often by the long term campers. They were VERY musty. My wife would not go in them. The big multiple use bathroom by the entrance was much better and air was fresher. The office people were very nice and drove a golf cart to show us where our campsite was. We would stay there again, but still confused why there were so many trailers and so few people.
This type of place sticks with you. We were stopping here on our way back to NC. We were after hours but a simple call had someone meet us and take us to our site. Our site is the longest I’ve ever seen, it’s basically a long driveway that leads back out to the road, that’s pretty awesome. We had a lake front spot, and the view is everything you’d imagine and more. I’d describe the view, but wouldn’t do it justice. The site was fairly level, had to use a few blocks on the driver side. The water is pretty strong so you may want to use a regulator. Water also had a strong odor of chlorine. After showers I felt like I was just getting out of a pool. So keep that in mind, might want a filter besides the typical blue filters (which I had on). The power was consistent and the sewer was good. The chapel is open all the time for prayer and is a beautiful walk. You can fish (catch and release) and the local wildlife is fun. I got an incredible price with the military discount. Everyone was super friendly. The camp store has a few things. There isn’t too much that is close so you may need to keep that in mind. There is no Wi-Fi or cable and the cell signal with Verizon was one bar at best. The road is isn’t nearly as bad as some have said. Is has place for caution but isn’t scary. Overall we will definitely be back.
We stopped for the night on our way home from Tennessee and were placed in a pull thru on the lake. What a spot!! We watched the resident swan swim around the fountain and I got to play with my camera perfecting my skills with day and night shots of the Chapel. There was local traffic during the daylight hours but didn’t hear a peep when we went to bed. My husband enjoyed the catch and release lake for some catfishing. It’s definitely a hidden gem.
This is a Church of God campground that has been around since I believe the 1950's. It wasn't originally owned by the Church of God affiliation. There is a lot of camper spots that are permanent and ones you can rent for a wknd. There are also sites for tents. Very good bathrooms. Dump stations. A campground store. A big lake with a small dock and a small wedding chapel for weddings. Beside the lake is a nice shelter for having gatherings. There is a pool on site. A few miles off the interstate, easy to find. This place is a nice little escape.
