This is a great place to spend the day hanging out beside the river. If you have kids they can likely tub the river as long as we are not in drought. 

There are also several waterfalls in the area continuing up Yellow Gap road will give you backroad access to many of the popular wrote waterfalls such as Looking Glass Falls.

Very disappointed with the new hosts. Constantly harassed about parking payment, when I buy a seasons parking pass every year. The new hosts are adamant about not honoring parking passes, because the recreation area is not run by the conservasy anymore. The Pisgah Hospitality Parnters are defiantly not hospitable to locals that have been going to the recreation area for the last 25 yrs. The new hosts ran me off. I still had 21 days left on my parking pass.

Stayed weekend of Aug 18-20, 2017.  The hosts' were so helpful and nice!  The sites were clean and very well maintained.  With the exception of noisy neighbor across from us the first night this was an excellent trip.  Bathrooms are well maintained and clean!  Firewood was available on site and the host delivered to us.  The hosts were visible all day long going around checking on everyone.

We tried to camp here, but a zombie came out of the woods and creeped us out.  We left and went to the KOA for safety. I am not even kidding.

Clean campgrounds, friendly staff (even for my late check-in!) and convenient for food/firewood/drinks (ingles/Starbucks/gas station 3 mi down the hill). Bathroom and showers were very clean although showers were a bit of a walk from site #13 - brig snacks! :p 

The neighbors one camp site over were very loud blasting music from their car and yelling at their 153 kids all afternoon. It went on well into quiet-time hours and it was not addressed by the staff when performing rounds, so it could have escalated (it didn't). Noise control was definitely an opportunity every night for this trip.
