Nice, quiet spot along the streams with a wilderness trail along a rhododendron lined stream shaded by huge white pines

It's a smaller campground located (a little too) close to a road, but it's beautiful. The electric/water sites are closer to the road, while the primitive sites are more near a stream that surrounds the rest of the campground. Included are two sets of restrooms and a dump station, water fill station and dumpster. There is plenty of firewood to be scavenged with much of it being pine, though. Dogs are allowed. In April 2022 the cost for a site was $20 ($10 with a special pass) plus $7 extra for an electric/water site. Cash only at the self pay station. We stayed at a site that put us near the stream and the road. While the road noise was there it didn't disturb our stay. The stream was pleasant to hear as we fell asleep, and it endlessly entertained the children during our stay. Next to the campground are a couple of trails that we found: 1. The horse trail that connects several locations throughout the area and 2. The Dickies Knob trail, which is a 5.5 mile out and back hike to the top of Dickies Knob. This moderate trail is gently sloped all the way to the top where you'll find what appears to be the foundation of a tower and a few markers. Views are great up there without leaves on the trees, but will become obscured as we move into May. Nice hike, would recommend highly. Finally, our camp host was amazing. He checked up on folks at the campground to make sure everyone was good. He was friendly and courteous; we enjoyed several conversations together.

Excellent campsites, beautiful mountain view. Friendly and helpful camp host named Andy, I believe. Enjoyed our stay while we were there and highly recommend it for those who like primitive camping. They do have RV spots as well.

Very small, but we'll kept campground. Either make a reservation online or pay cash/check at self-serve pay station. Has local WiFi network, incquire with campground host for the password.

I was just there last week and there was a sign that said something about water not being operational. I was still able to park across the street and enter at the Dicky Knob trailhead for a nice hike

Is there any Verizon cell service at this campground?
