North Mills River Campground & Recreation Area

Great little campground to just relax & enjoy nature. Site 019 is probably the most secluded but also the furthest from the bath house. Site was spacious & facilities in great condition. Hosts were very kind, overall pleasant experience for us & our pups.

Older, somewhat neglected campground set amid a damp, cool, mature hardwood forest alongside a beautiful mountain stream. Most all sites are without any amenities other than a pea gravel pad, fire ring and picnic table. Two loops, one has no facilities ( a small pit toilet outhouse appears permanently closed but has no “closed” sign on it), the other is across the river and has four bathrooms and four showers, though they are not always unlocked and one was out of order during our stay. A drafty roadside bathroom has crude commodes, urinals and cold water; beware the automated light timers that may cut off while you are inside. Roads are paved but narrow and full of potholes. Beware the speed breakers on the entry road which are poorly marked and which can easily bottom out your hitch. The

Amazing location in the mountains. Great hiking and fishing right next to the campsites. We used the group site and it was fantastic. Ample space and great service from the camp host. We will definitely be back.

Pretty, but extremely tight quarters! Definitely have ZERO privacy. And the only thing I’ll complain about is the showers were usually gross. If you took a shower super early in the morning, they were clean, but they clearly need to clean them more than just the once per day, with all those people using the only three showers that were open for use.. Also, the staff person they are allowing to live down there, in his big fancy camper, located at the entrance of the campground, is not just rude, but also extremely nosey and unwelcoming. And you better remember cash and don’t be a single penny short! Dude is a stickler when it comes to money. Just kinda took away from our entire good camping vibe we had going, before encountering him the couple times we did.

Quiet and peaceful. Me and four of my grandkids got a campsite in the free area. No one bothered us. We played all day in the creek that was right near our site and then went driving just inside the camp area and it was like being in a deep forest all by yourself. Even if not camping it's worth the drive
