Quiet and peaceful

A solid place to camp. Nice temperatures for June. A nice little beach for the kids to swim at. Self service ice and wood. Bring exact cash as the the contact station is only open Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Bathrooms are old but cleaned daily, water was hot so no complaints. Later check out was a nice bonus

Some of the sites are quite small and right on top of others. Some like ours were significantly larger. The pet loop was essentially a field with trees around it. The none pet loop was in the trees and so you sometimes had more space and sometimes were right beside you.

The no pet loop essentially cleared out after the weekend and we had tons of space to run around.

I wish more hikes started from the campground. But there was a gravel trail that connected to most of them.

Catawba walk in

We were not prepared for the stairs 😂. They say walk in but it’s a more a short hike. So getting our gear (we aren’t minimalist people) in was a workout but worth it.

On a gorgeous cove, you don’t have the waves from the boat traffic on the rest of the lake. It was wonderful for our paddle boards. Given that there are only 20 sites you don’t get a feeling of crowded. Multiple empty sites during the week. Mostly full during the weekend. Our site had a little trail down to the water.

Fantastic time

Stayed in the upper loop. Amazing stars, good space at the sites and enough growth between sites that you aren’t on top of each other.

The river and floating are fabulous. Views are gorgeous. No cell service so you can totally disconnect.

4 stars really because there is not ice available at the camp and you have to drive 45 minutes to get it. Which meant we also bought a new cooler so that we could have multiple days of ice. And there is no real hiking from the camp. You need to drive to trails.

But will definitely come back

Overall love and will be back

Great beach and bike bike paths. We could have spent so much longer here and explored

4 stars because of how close together the sites are. Especially the inner tents of T loop.

G loop has more space over all
