    Very quiet, relaxing

    August 2026

    Other than the camp store not being staffed while we were there it was open on Monday and Tuesday by request. The bath house restroom was very nice. The site was extremely level and backed up to the Catawba River. Short drive to the falls area was a plus. Everything at the site worked well. Wasn’t navigate. I have a 24’ Mercedes sprinter 3500 built out by airstream and the site was spacious.
