Customer Reviews
It is a quaint throwback to a 1970s sleep away camp. Pam, the host, was very friendly and responsive, and it was convenient to Tallulah Gorge State Park. But this just isn't for me. It is between two active roads (one is a four lane with lots of truck traffic), so there is constant traffic noise day and night. The river is very slow,-moving and more like a pond where it borders the campground. I stayed in The Appalachian #15... It is just old and dusty. At first it seemed cool to have the fire pit right up against the covered area, but it only took one fire to figure out the smoke often fills that space and gets sucked into the window of the upstairs sleeping area. Just didn't match my expectations from the other reviews and pictures.
We took our little travel trailer to River Campground this past weekend. We had a great visit. Tim, the owner, was super nice. Irene, the camp host, was also very nice. They had a live bluegrass band one night. We would've liked to have seen them, but we were tired that night. The bathrooms were clean. The campsites are nice and well maintained. They have firewood which can be purchased and Tim will bring it to your campsite. There is a bit of noise because the campground is right off of the highway, but the birds in the morning drown out the noise of the cars. Our pup especially loved the river which was right next to our site, even though the water was freezing. I think my favorite part was having a pavilion with a BBQ grill on our site. We hope to visit again when the weather is warmer
We sure love this campground! It took me Back in time to my childhood… when campgrounds had big trees and nice sized sites the small pavilion for our river side site was AWESOME!! . The “clubhouse” with games, a fireplace, kayaks and life jackets to borrow, and beautiful plants and flowers planted everywhere made it extra special. My grandson called the clubhouse “the fun zone.”. So many little touches that made our long weekend stay extra special and relaxing. I can’t forget Pam, the amazing camp host, she was super helpful and very kind! We can’t wait to go back 😊
Friendly and very personable host (Pam) at this campground. Has covered structures to put tent under so rain not a problem. Electricity and water available at all campsites, however, they offer primitive. Has one side on the creek and other side around small batch of woods so nice rustic type campground. Book early. Bathrooms were really clean. Has a shower. Close to many attractions for hikers and somewhat mountainous. Cameras on property and police are a visible presence on highways around campgrounds in the area.
I had a flat tire and was in big trouble when I pulled off the road and asked the folks at this campsite for help. I didn’t camp there, but a small community rose up to help me. The owner of the property helped me change my tire while his customers offered their equipment and advice. What a lovely experience that came out of a big problem. I wish I could have stayed around the camp fire with these wonderful people.
