This was an awesome campground. Our family stayed Labor Day weekend camping. Laura our hostess was very kind and accommodating of everything we needed. She brought popsicles for everyone each day. Delivered fire wood to the campsites all weekend. She kept check on the campers through out the day all weekend. Bath house was well kept and clean. Kids had a playground and various other activities to do. I would definitely recommend this campground as we plan on visiting again real soon.

Had a great visit to this campsite. Lovely campground with quaint charm and a great location… close to Lake Lure area and a mile from a grocery store… which was helpful for the things we forgot. Camp staff was very friendly. They offered wood and ice delivery to your campsite and even surprised us with popsicles. We had a great time disconnecting and making memories here. We look forward to a return visit.

We just returned from a wonderful stay here! This was our first time ever camping together in our camper and it couldn’t have gone better! We got a sweet spot next to a little creek. Laura was super sweet on the phone and even nicer in person, we love how she passed out popsicles every night! We checked out the bath house and playground even though we wouldn’t need to use them but I like including as much info as I can in my google reviews. Bath house was super clean, playground looked fun for kids, if you’re tent camping just a heads up there’s a rooster down the road to wake you up. We

This is our 3rd year coming back here. Every year it gets harder to leave and can't wait till the next time we are back! If you want a comfortable and clean Campground, you found it. The grounds are kept clean and so is the bath house. There is a pond for some fishing and a playground for the kids to play around on. With a supermarket, lake lure and hiking trails minutes away, you really can't go wrong with the location. Laura has you covered after a long hot day with popsicles for everyone! I can't say enough on how happy our family is when we stay here. Thank you so much Laura and Glen for making
