It's a really nice park with a disc golf course, soccer fields, etc. You can walk right down to the lake too and there's a very small beach. This was my favorite part. There was almost no one else there when we were there on a weekend. The trail itself was nice. If you're looking for a hilly walk in Charlotte, this is probably the steepest we've done right in Charlotte.

The trail from here up to Trailhead is still open. There are picnic tables with a view and grill, a large parking lot, open space with a soccer field and even a structure with bathrooms.

I didn't like staying here. First of all the camp host used his blower to blow grass and BBq…read morecharcoal dust off camp sites. He did this while I was outside trying to relax in my lawn chair. Well, this filled the air with charcoal dust throughout the camp ground. The result, BBq charcoal dust all over my tent, inside my tent on my pillows and air mattresses and sleeping bag. He continued to do this while I was trying to sleep. Also, even though my tent was under a e tree, the sun shined directly on my tent site during the day. This kept the inside of my tent hot during the day. Thus, I couldn't sleep. Most sites at this campground from what I saw has the sun shining on your tent from about 7am to about 3pm. I will not be staying here anymore. Now, if you are in an RV, then I recommend staying here because the sun doesn't matter. But if you are working at night and trying to sleep during the day and you are staying in a tent, I do not recommend staying here.

Winter was in incredible time to visit, easy parking, a chance to chat with the staff at the visitor center, and walk around. The lake is beautiful. I've heard that this area did get some hurricane/ storm damage but everything needed to drive around is up and running! Make a plan to visit next time you're nearby. It's about 1 hour drive from downtown Asheville.

This park had an impressive visitor center and restrooms were open even after it closed, though neighboring water fountains were not functioning on a hot summer day. The trail I selected was rugged and had occasional waterside views, most notably on a footbridge that offered a mountain vista. Cell service was not great for me, and while I'd hoped to do a zoom meeting on the run I had to return to more urban areas. But if you actually want to get unplugged, the people on boats here appeared to be having a good time.

Unhappy with the younger cooks not wearing gloves while serving customers. Stocking the beers so they are cold and not frozen, to when you open them they don't fizz over. Unhappy with entertainment who is scheduled to show up and no one shows up. Disappointed in watching everyone leave because of this. We just started coming on Friday night and Judy and Codie are the best. The younger crowd not so much. Act like they could be anywhere else but where yet are. They don't smile or greet you like the older staff. Cashing out is a chore. Hoping you can figure out a better way without waiting 30 minutes to cash out. We'd like to remain regular customers. Hoping things get better. Rentals are fantastic. Pet friendly a plus. Looking for easier options to use the Airbnb.

There were several game wardens onsite and a couple of deputies. What I was surprised about most was the cordiality between of the grownups . Strangers helping each other untangling crossed fishing lines. Grownups weren't allowed to fish but they could help their youngsters do so. I saw a lot of catfish being caught. No shocker there as the lake had been the day before stocked. To their credit the officials in charge were very helpful and mingled with the people fishing. Also to their credit the first 100 participants got a nice rod and reel combo I estimate to be a fifty dollar value each. Not begrudging any but that's where a lot of hard earned tax dollars got spent.

We have camped here twice, once in the fall and this time in late March. Both were unique in their own way with the fall trip taking the cake. On both trips the morning sun greeted us ablaze with colors only to be rivaled by its sunset as the long day closed upon us. Beautiful. Serene. The camping reservations are easy through the SC website and the prices very reasonable. Most sites have a view of the lake and several are right on it. We did notice this time (spring) that several locals booked their family vacation here during spring break. Sadly, several lugged all their crap from home with them: refrigerators, large grills, full-size kitchen ovens, awnings, boats, golf carts, bikes, dogs, and kids. The center of the campground looked like a hillbilly hoedown. People were kind and respectful, but damn, it's camping people! Overall, we like it here and we will return. Got the campfire just a smokin' on my "Give 'em a whirl" meter. Camp here (just leave your sh*t at home).
