Hiddenite Family Campground

I went to this place based on great review from 3 years ago. When I arrived I paid for one night camping, yes nice people, but pool was green and not swimmable. Bathrooms were rough and overall very disappointed. I Set up camp and left within 3 hours. They even admitted they were not permitted to run yet and now I get why. Very disappointed. Call first and ask questions. Very run down and does not look like review pictures from years ago.

Easy and fast check in. Clean sites. $25 a night for tent/water/electricity. Very shady campsites. Great playground and swimming pool. There were a lot of kids there for my kids to play with. A lot of permanent trailer campers. The bathrooms are old/concrete but they were clean and smelled good. From other reviews I expected much worse and was pleasantly surprised. We didn't get a creek site (thank goodness because the bugs that way were miserable) and it has a no swimming sign (my son wanted to play in it). It is beautiful though. We will visit this campsite again every time we go back to the mine.

Fun campground, but small. Has a large pool, large field with horseshoes and volleyball. There are some animals to see as well and the back 3 or 4 camping spots on the river are fantastic. Leaving a star off because bathrooms/showers could be better, but it's about what you'd expect from a family owned place. My family goes at least once, sometimes twice a year.

We stayed for nine days and loved every minute of it. I am not sure what Kelly is looking for in a campground, but I'd say that she would be hard to satisfy if this campground left her unhappy. And you can't hardly blame the campground for the actions of another campers dogs. We loved the atmosphere, and as always, when we camp, we made new friends. The sites next to the creek were excellent and the hookups were perfect. The kids loved the pool, and my son and I enjoyed the fishing in the river, although I have to admit that there didn't seem to be any large fish there. I think that the only very small complaint that I had was that there were no garbage cans at each site. We had to take our garbage to a dumpster at the camp entrance each day. But if that was the only problem I could find, I'd say the week was a success! Oh...and if you have time, check out the Hiddenite Gem Mine just a few miles down the road. You can dig in the woods for gems, or screen in the creek. We found a lot and had a blast! I only gave four stars because something would have to be above and beyond perfect to get a perfect rating. But, having said that, we will definitely be back, and that should tell it all. Thanks Hiddenite Campground!
