A playground and tons of picnic tables were also available. This was my niece's first time camping, and she loved it. We have many funny memories. We especially loved that it was a no-drama zone. The campsites were cheap, and they sell their own chopped wood. A whole metal trash can was $15. We will definitely go back in the near future.

Perfect for a relaxing weekend escape from the normal work grind. Even in a heat wave, the ample shade kept us cool and the pups loved splashing in the creek. The restrooms and showers were private and super clean.

What was especially great was that the boat slips were covered. The only problem was that sone of the slips closer to the shore were extremely shallow but we parked our boat in a shallow spot (3ft) and we were fine but this is probably not going to be a problem for you because the lake was lowered by 2ft because there was a hurricane going up the coast and the mild thunderstorms that would reach the lake would probably flood it. Other than that the campsite was wonderful and I enjoyed my stay.

Our first view walking into the tipi made my heart sing. Beautifully decorated inside. It has a kitchen area with electricity. They have an electric teapot. Perfect for a spot of hot tea. I brought a cooler with plenty of frozen water in ziplock bags for cold drinks. I made cocktails every night. Next the tipi has a wood burning stove. And a whole bunch of already chopped wood. We have a wood burning stove at home so we brought paper and pine cones with a bag of sticks just to make it easy starting and keeping fires going. We needed and loved the wood burning stove. Kept us super cozy for our whole stay. The bed was super comfy and they had plenty of blankets. My favorite was the cool lighting they used. I just felt like we were in a fairytale. Outside there were chairs around a fire pit and we sat out under the gorgeous stars and made s'mores. During the day we went around town and played mini golf and tried out a few restaurants. There is lots to do around town. There is even a trail in the woods on the farm. Oh yes. When you enter the tipi they have a book you must read to know everything about your tipi experience. After that we hung out in the hammock. So calming watching the trees sway while listening to birds We like staying when it is a little chilly because there are less bugs. There is no running water. So there is an outhouse. But it is great because it is clean and has a mirror. They also have a solar shower. I'm not the biggest fan just because that water is kinda cold to me but it certainly made it a hilarious memory. My suggestion do not add much soap. I did shower every night and felt clean and refreshed after the solar shower. My husband is not a camper but he loved this. We both had a fantastic stay. Oh one last note. I prefer very quiet while sleeping so I always bring earplugs. You are in nature

We rented the "Eagles Landing" tipi for a quick MLK weekend trip. This was such a cool adventure! I…read moremean that in multiple ways, because it was also cold during our weekend. I would recommend planning your tipi weekend during warmer months, unless you're lucky enough to bring someone who will wake up every hour or two to keep the fire going when temperatures are in the teens. (Also, bring extra blankets.) I think the fire would keep the tipi pretty dang warm when temperatures are in the 30s and 40s, but below freezing you'll have to put a little more effort in to be comfortable. All of that aside- this was still a five-star experience and a memory I'll never forget! You can pull your car right up to the tipi which makes unloading things easy and convenient for locking up your valuables when you go explore. The Eagles Landing Tipi had a really comfortable queen bed and a pull out couch. I loved the decorations around the tipi. The pot belly stove gets hot enough to cook all your meals, you just may need a little bit of patience. The tipi has just about all the cookware you could need, but my travel companion/personal chef was glad he brought his own cast iron skillet. If you can see in my pictures, he was able to cook quite the feast with everything provided. Washing the dishes is a little tricky since the sink isn't very deep, but it all worked out. There is an outdoor shower and an outhouse. I've never seen an outhouse so nice though! I know that is weird to say and I forgot to get a picture. They really paid attention to detail when decorating each part of this rental. We didn't use it, but there is also a place for a fire pit outside. There isn't any wifi, but I was pleasantly surprised to have cell service all weekend. It was still more fun to be off the grid for a little bit though. The tipi is on a farm property which means there was basically a petting zoo just a short walk away. They ask that you don't go into the fenced areas, but all the animals were happy to come over to get love (or more likely to eat food if we had any to give them). There were trails to explore behind the property and lots to do in the surrounding area. Grocery stores are nearby if you forgot something and several restaurants if you don't feel like cooking. I recommend visiting the Liberty SnowFlex for a hot chocolate and front row seat to the sunset. There are a ton of trails that branch off from there as well. We did start to run low on firewood, but they were happy to bring us more before our last night. No complaints! This was such a cool, unique experience. I hope to return one day!

Well kept and part of the AT so you'll see a variety of people. Amenity wise, there are port a potties at the main lotbut no trash bins. The main lot is pretty small but there's a shuttle that will carry you for a different parking lot since the main lot only has about 20 spots and can fill up pretty quick. I came on a Saturday in mid July at 8AM and it only had about 5 spots left. As I was leaving, a group was celebrating someone finishing their leg of the AT, so seems also like a good meet point. Trail was great but a little strenuous because length, but the incline actually wasn't horrible. The heat is real in July, so pack your water and some snacks for energy so you can make it back to the parking lot.

Restroom is a short walk away. The whole backside was open land. The whole left side was wooded. There was a picnic table, fire ring and another water source there as well as a small 4 seat wooden table on my wrap around porch! It was perfect. The trails were quite strenuous at times. Its rocky and steep! I took a 9 mile trail, linking trails together to tackle the Little Mountain Falls Trail. Beautiful views. Sunday morning I was on top of the mountain by 10am! Wooo. My pictures won't show the beauty that it was...but I was in love. Sitting on the porch with my binoculars.. I spotted a big, red headed wood pecker just having a blast out there pecking around. So many birds out there. It was very relaxing. - I brought my iron skillet and cooked up some salmon, zucchini and the $0.97 small cup of mac and cheese from Walmart! Fabulous dinner the first night. - I didn't, however go the "beach" or kayak. The roped off beach section, isn't the same w/o kids but I should have gone kayaking. So much to do.

Cell reception was quite limited for me in this remote area, which may be what you want out of coming to a park.

Anyone thinking of leasing a lot at this campground please read this review as well as others and…read moretake them seriously. I am the type of person that can get along and tolerate must anyone. However the owner of this campground is a toxic and horrible person. I've never met anyone like her....ever and hope to never again. My experience in just 3 months was a nightmare and I don't want anyone else to experience what my family and I have. On 4/11/2020 my family and I purchased a camper that was already located on a Site there. We paid 6 months lot rent in cash, for which the only receipt I was able to get was a handwritten one that I wrote up and had her sign. She refuses to give out a written lease and she doesn't give out any rules. She makes it a point to go from sight to sight gossiping and bad mouthing everyone in the campground to people that are renting. Anyone that you talk to there will tell you that they do their best to avoid her and basically hide or go the other way when they see her coming. If you rent there you will constantly stay on pins and needles worrying about what she's going to go off about next. She always references her "rules" when demanding something be done her way yet she does not give out rules and regulations. I was able to let everything roll off until she had a conversation with someone on 6/11 stating that "Had she of known my husband was black she would have never rented to us". (We are an interracial family). She then repeated that same conversation to someone else on 7/7 .She also added to it that when our lease was up she would not be renewing it due to the fact that my husband was black. On 7/12 we have a recorded conversation between her and another person in which she admits to saying what she did. She claims "it's her campground and she can rent to whoever she wants to". That's how she justifies it. She is a thief and will lie straight to your face. On July 11 I informed her we were leaving and pulling our camper out. She told me if we left before our lease was up she would pro-rate the rent and give me back the unused portion. On August 1 we tried to peacefully pack up and get out of there. While we were busting our butts taking down decks she continually harassed us throughout the day and then also refuses to pro-rate the rent and on top of that is going to lease the lot out before our lease is even up! This campground should be shut down because of how it's run. Any landlord who would make remarks like that and having no clue that it's ILLEGAL and against Fair Housing rules to even make a statement like that doesn't deserve to run a business. Run from this place as fast as you can. Don't let the cheap rental rates suck you in like it did to me. It's not worth it!
