Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to Wooded Camping at Pond

First family camping trip was a success! Location was easy to find and kids loved it. Felt very private for our kids to run around and enough distance between campsites to not worry about noise bothering others (at least I hope we didn't). Thanks again for everything!

Weekend Trip to Serenity on the Saluda

This was me and my boyfriend’s first time camping and we absolutely loved camping on John’s property! He was very kind and helpful. Very spacious and private area. There is a lot of space and privacy between you and the RV/Tent camp site. There are a couple spots to fish and the river was so calm and peaceful. This was the perfect campsite, and even for us rookies it was the perfect amount of primitive. The outhouse was clean and well kept as well. It’s closer to the Tent Site than the RV/Tent site if you are wondering. Less than 10 minutes to town if there’s anything that you forgot to bring. We loved it and are already ready to go back!

Weekend Trip to Broken Oak Riverside Getaway

We had a great time tent camping by the river. Pet friendly place. Clean bathhouse, and owner available on site if needed. The campsite was beautiful and so peaceful.

We had the best time relaxing right by the river ! You couldn’t have asked for a more peaceful spot! We really enjoyed walking the trail! I loved the little outhouse right by our tent site! We also loved hanging out with the sweet dog, she was the cutest! John was a great host! Thanks for sharing your peaceful property with us!! We can’t wait to come back in the summer!

1 night at The Quack Shack

This structure is so well-designed and the hot tea/coffee available and wood fired hot tub made it extra special! We propped open the siding and my son read a book while I cooked our dinner in the chiminea on the deck - so lovely.

1 night at Serenity on the Saluda

Great camp site by the river, secluded and peaceful. The host had everything ready for us when we arrived. It was a wonderful night stargazing and listening to the river. Thanks for sharing your wonderful spot by the river.

This property has two river campsites and two campsites in the woods. The river sites are separated by a small patch of woods, so if you are looking for complete privacy, Hill Top or Hill Side is the place to go. Please follow the "arrival instructions" as most GPS directions are not accurate. 30 minutes to Diamond Hill Mine, 15 minutes to The Shoals MX.
