Beautiful Park, clean restrooms, nice swimming area. Friendly employees! Only downfall is having to back into the campsite. When retrieving items from vehicles my headlights shined on campers across from me. Park is VERY Particular about reserving their trees and ground floor where parking is. Can only park on gravel not In leaves. Have to put something behind ropes to attach to trees so not to ruin their trees. Asheville is a busy area. There is lots to do, so no boredom. We will go again next year

We just wanted to do a quick ride through & see if we would even want to reserve a spot. We had no issues at any of the other campgrounds in the area. They were all very nice & allowed us to do so. We had never been there before & there aren't but one or two pictures online of the campsites. We were told it would be $15.00. ( $5.00 per person) & that fee was to protect people's privacy, which absolutely makes no sense whatsoever. (I guess if we had paid the $15 ..we could invade people's privacy?)... extremely rude girl working at the gate!

The campground looks nice, but I have not stayed there. The lake is great! It's small, with numerous spots along the shoreline for fishing. There is a recently rebuilt pier for more fishing. That's just before the dam. You can look over the dam from either side, and swim in the hole below it if you like. This is also another fishing spot. The creek and lake are both Hatchery Supported public waters, and thus have trout to go along with the standard mix. The far side of the lake has a beach that adjoins the limited swimming area. This is a great spot for a day trip, or an entire week/end if you have the time. And don't forget the miles of easily accessible hiking and mountain biking trails. And the forest roads for the gravel grinding set are a good ride.

I can not believe some people are complaining as we have always been treated with respect. Apparently some are just not happy people and find fault with everything. This is a wonderful park and we always leave our site in better condition than when we got here as all should do.
