We stayed at camp site 71 Hardtimes loop. Place was super clean. Bathrooms clean. Campsites clean. Camp sites spread out perfectly. We had a 24 foot trailer camper and two large trucks backed up into site. Employees were very nice and helpful. I will be coming back and I highly recommend this place. I wasn’t a big fan of the lake but the trails were very nice too. Great location to pisgah national forest, Blue Ridgid, chimney rock park, Biltmore house and many more fun activities.

Poor first impression, I just wanted to drive in and see what the area looked like and had to offer but was told it’s a $5 admission regardless. Not a good way to invite possible new guests. Kinda took the wind out of my sails so to speak. Like I said, poor first impression. Likely will never return.

Nice shaded walking trails around the lake. A few areas for grilling and picnics. Beautiful scenic area. Restroom facilities and “Glamping” sites available as well.

You have to have a NC comprehensive fishing license and purchase the day pass into the park. The lake is stocked with trout, thus the comprehensive fishing license.
