    There were four of us and we had a cooler included which allowed us to put our snacks, phones, and keys inside.

    Disclosure: My cousin and husband are friends with the owners. They took my girlfriend and I here…read moreas part of a roadtrip we were doing through NC. Our first night we camped out at the end of the field and since it's towards the end of the season we had the place to ourselves. That afternoon we tubed down the Dan River for 3 hrs. For people who love spending time in nature it was heaven! Floating down the river through beautiful woods and pastures is the perfect thing to do on a lazy Summer afternoon, especially after a long drive. There's also fishing there. That night we cooked around the fire, and made music. We were joined by the owners who are very friendly and knowledgeable about the local history, sustainability, geology, agriculture and just about anything else you might want to know. Just ask Andrew! They have bathrooms with toilets, and showers (hot water)! For anyone looking for an affordable, rustic and low key destination, I can't recommend it enough.

    Been going to Jessup Mill for the last four years around July 4th and other times in the year. Each…read moretime is a great experience and every time i leave I am pleased and thankful for the mill and campground being there. The staff is great. The tubing is a blast and extremely convenient. The facilities are clean which is something everyone can appreciate. This is a gem on the Dan River that should be more popular than it is. Book online and see for yourself why this place means so much to people.

    Terrible ownership. David Hargrove is rude, racist and does not know how to run a business…read more At first he was charging us $20 for tubing plus parking. Which is fine but then he changed the price on some people because they got there later, to $40 per person plus parking. (This was not even for tubing but just to be in the little area which was already paid for, by family members that were already there. ) During this time he kept making racist comments, such as "I hate Guatemalans ", and " If you don't speak English, just leave my property. " We would have left but we had already paid and he would not refund us our money. When we asked him for a refund he said he wouldn't give it to us and tried to take back what he said. And after everyone had paid which was over $1200 at this point. He towed 1 of our vehicles, even though we paid for parking. (He did this while we went tubing) It was $480+ to get the vehicle back and we could not get it back till the next day. We live an hour away... We will not be returning and giving our hard earned money to this business ever again.

    Please Note: Under new owners who are not part of the negative reviews given years ago. Their tubes…read moreare $20 with a bus ride up the river to the drop off spot. They have cooler float for your stuff to keep it as dry as possible, which was worth it($10). There are plenty of spots on the journey to stop and swim. Big grass field to park at. I saw that if you bring your own tube you can hitch a ride for $10. Great owners and staff, who made sure someone was there at the end to help grab their tubes. Plenty of space to get out of the water. They have phone covers and rope for sale if you forget yours. Great time all around and we were on the River for about roughly 2.5-3hours. They take other payments instead of just cash.
