The overall experience couldn't have been better, from booking the stay, to online check-in, to the arrival experience and the site itself. Surprisingly, given the location, I had good enough AT&T cellular service that I never needed to use the site WiFi, just used my cell hotspot for my computer. As for the site I parked in, it was level, only feet from the river/creek and included a metal fire pit/grill and a picnic table. The campground itself seemed well-kept and the bathhouse was as well. I did not make use of the laundry facilities. A bonus is that the trailhead area for the Catawba Falls trails is easy walking distance from the campground and we enjoyed ourselves on the trails.

Beautiful campground, exactly as expected. So close to Catawba Falls. Lovely host and gorgeous roaming chooks. Laundry small but did the job. Bath house clean. Altogether a very pleasant experience.

We took an impromptu camping/hiking trip out to Catawba Falls, and we are absolutely in LOVE with this place! It’s quiet, so beautifully renovated, nearby the falls and trails at Catawba, we will definitely be back again!!
