What an amazing stay we had. From the time we entered the campground to when we packed and left the host and her son showed us the sweetest hospitality. The cabin was very clean and spacious. The campground was quiet and clean. We will definitely be back.

We stayed here two years ago, before Helene. They have done an incredible job working to recover! We stayed in cabin 3 right on the creek. It was beautiful inside and out. A true cozy mountain cabin. We’ll be back :)

Spent the weekend at Cabin #1. Perfect spot to base an offroad trip out of for Doe Mountain. The campsite was recently rebuilt after Helene so all of the cabins are brand new. The bath house was clean and the hot water was great after a long ride at Doe. Also they have the good toilet paper. 5 stars for that alone.
