The review from Miss Experience camper about howling coyotes at night in the park is not true
We have been in the park for almost 5 months not one sound at a howling coyotes has been heard not even a dog barking at night
Her howling coyotes appear Saturday night not before and not after they left. strange but true
Experience campers set their tents on the tent pad not the grass. Experience campers drive the speed limit. Experience campers drive the correct direction in a campground
She needs camping skills 101
And stop howling at the moonresponse / report this review -

Everything was absolutely perfect until we had met our campground host. The sites were incredible, the campground was easy to find and had clear instructions on how to choose a site, each site was clean and provided a fire pit, and the bathrooms were relatively clean. It was a wonderful campground with wonderful neighbors until our host came up to us on our last day and accused us of running around the campsite at 4am howling.
After a night of coyotes very loudly howling nearby our tent the host sped up with her car in the early morning to not speak to us but SCREAM at us for supposedly "running through the campsite howling at 4am." She had mentioned that she had called the police and that they apparently "saw" us running around. Everyone on the site was dead asleep in their tents by 2am and each person was completely baffled and confused by this accusation. She threatened to fine us, and said she took our license plates down.
Not only were we accused of disrupting the campground site but on the first day within twenty minutes of my arrival she greets me with a terrible tone when I had incorrectly set up the tents. I was unaware that were I put my tent was incorrect, which is my fault, but as a camp host you should be respectful and kind to your visitors and show them how to properly care for the campsite and help them when they are doing something wrong. This host should never ever be allowed to host a campground again. She was negligent, ignorant, and absolutely disrespectful. Luckily I am an experienced camper, but I would hate for any other camper to experience her unwanted bitter wrath on life.response / report this review -

Very quiet and well kept camp. 0 cell service, but the stars were AMAZING!

This campground is just what the doctor ordered! Out of the way, laid back and beautiful. In fact, we stopped just for the night and ended up staying 5 nights. We had water and electric (30 amp) for our Airstream that filled the bill. The campground hosts, Mike and Pam, were terrific. They not only took care of us in the campground but also shared their RV experiences, something much appreciated for new full time RVers. When passing through the area, we will definitely stop again.

Delightful, small National Forest Service Campground. Has tent and RV sites. RV sites have electricity and water, but no sewer hookup. Main attractions are hiking, fishing and just relaxing. The host couple, Pamela and Mike, are the friendliest and most helpful I've encountered in many years of camping on public land sites.

A small, pretty campground with limited hookups. Creek runs behind it and there are two trails going through it. We had a paved site with a picnic table. Secluded, but only 5-6 miles to small town convenience/gas. Anything more than that is about 30 minutes away (drugstores, grocery, etc). Area is known for hiking as it is near to Appalachian Trail.
A few more than half of CG sites appear to be tenting sites; others are water and electric. We came early in year so there was no host, but there is a self-serve sign up and pay station, then pick your site. You can make reservations on Recreation.gov but only for dates after May (forget exact date).
There is some road noise from the highway right above the campground, but unless you are a late sleeper, we did not find it troublesome. No showers, but bathrooms were clean. There is NO cell reception anywhere nearby, but we did have internet access thanks to one of the workers who was camping there.
Be advised that this is an older Forest Service campground, built before modern RVing. Be very careful in sighting a place before trying to back your RV into a site (no pull thrus). The natural layout of the land includes rocks and trees, and the placement of those make some spaces difficult for all but small campers to get into. We witnessed a gentleman jackknife his tt just recently and mire his truck in the mud. He had to call a tow truck to unjam his truck from between the rocks positioned along the roadway. All caused by having to make too tight a turn when backing in.
All in all, it is a good value for those who don't need a lot of fancy amenities or conveniences nearby.response / report this review -
