With a 45' rig towing a full size truck and rain in the forecast, we were very worried about sinking in and getting stuck. The next spot offered was out in an open field with no sewer. Same sinking problem. We finally ended up in with the permanents. I would not recommend this park for big rigs. It is beautiful and peaceful.

This farm is very large, well kept, and the space was perfect for this event! Ive been following Soul Food Sessions out of Charlotte for a while on social media. So finally the event timing lined up perfectly while I was a day before I flew out of Charlotte. Great parking, plenty of seating, the décor/ table setting was perfect. The dinner was farm style, urban chefs/ bar tenders. All you can eat/ drink. There was so much food on the tables, I passed on desert, but it looked delish! Food was prepared and sereved by the friendly hostesses for the evening. All the food was cooked to perfection and had the taste was phenomenal. Ive been to many Farm To Table dinners and this one surpassed them all!! I will be making this annual event for my family for sure. Great even to support, look them up on FB for future events. The price was reasonable considering what you receive and your supporting a great event!

Great little place! Love the history and everyone is so nice! We can't wait to go back.read more

There has been a water mill in this location for more than 200 years on the bank of the Rocky Creek…read morenear Union Grove just inside Alexander County. The Linneys stone grind corn meal, corn bread mix, grits, and they sell my favorite: buckwheat pancake mix. This is an authenic, operating water mill, and depending on when you visit, you can see the entire process, from the water wheel driven grind stone to the packaging and selling of the finished products. The Linney's campground adjoins the mill with campsites by the creek. Visiting the mill is like stepping way back in time. No credit cards accepted, and no cell phone signal here. These are good people, and this is an authentic experience.

What a find! After a long day of searching for a campground that met our needs, we found it!…read more We are tent campers so finding a place where you are not on top of each other and don't have to hike a mile into the woods isn't easy. There are a few tent areas and ours was 4 spots, however, they could've put in about 20, so yes, they are huge! We were able to sprawl out and have all the space we could ever need. This campground is on 30 acres. It has a pool, bathhouse, beach volleyball, playground, sandbox, 2 pavilions, and a small farm. The farm has a bunny, 2 miniature horses, a full-sized horse, goats, and 2 pigs. The owners live on the property and are very accessible and friendly. We needed wood for our fire and they have it for sale. They even deliver it to your site. The price is right (compared to Walmart or Lowes where the bundles of wood are tiny and burn so quick that you run thru $100 in a night) Our $20 in wood lasted for 1.5 days, which is good since we like fire! The site was super quiet and it was like a little oasis. Where we were was right by the river, so you can hear the babbling, quite peaceful! We had a bunch of trees that kept the campsite cool during the day. There are some tent spots in the middle of the camper areas, but luckily they put us away from everything! There is another tent area that sits across the brook (cute little bridge to get to that side) and I couldn't count how many spots could go into that area, it's wide open! There will be another trip planned!

She immediately makes you feel like a life long friend.We didn't have the RV and horse with with us this trip so we didn't use one of her hookups or the horse paddocks this time but can say they are high quality and clean. We stayed in the lodge itself. Comfortable area to socialize complete with a beautiful handcrafted bar. Our bedroom had a country feel and would be a bargain at 3x the price. However, we didn't spend much time in it as there is so much to do here. It was a very short walk to the main town area. It is like walking on the set of a Western like Gunsmoke complete with Miss Kitty's saloon. There are horses tied to hitching rails and not a motorized vehicle in sight. I don't remember how many riding trails there are. We rode on 2 of them and really had a great time. The horses are absolutely beautiful and well trained. The food is good here but if you need a fancier restaurant, Statesville is just a short drive away. Risto's was our favorite.
