My wife and I stayed at Lees site for 4 nights. We just left today and I have to say we did not want to leave. We are avid campers and have stay a lot of places up down the eastern US. This site by far takes our top stay. The availability of well water, power hooks up, and firewood just helped us to tent camp for 4 nights. But how could we not bring up the view? The view of the white rock mountains was so beautiful. It almost makes the site not feel real. It feels like a hallmark movie. The fact that Lee chose to add a hot tub just adds to the site. My wife and I enjoyed our coffee every morning in the hot tub. And if you want seclusion this is it. The drive up to the site from the gate feels like 2-3 miles of driving and you don’t hear a car or a person the whole time you’re there. So 5 stars. Lee does a great job. Clean site and very communicative also. We don’t have a bad thing to say and we will be back. If you’re reading this right now. Stop reading. Go book the site. Oh and make sure you stay 3 nights and have 2 full days there. 1 day there wouldn’t be enough. Trust me.

Beautiful spot surrounded by wildlife and mountain scenery. The campsite is perfectly situated on a comfortable clearing. The host was incredibly helpful with any and all questions and I am thoroughly pleased with our stay. The best Hipcamp site I’ve experienced so far. Highly recommended if you really want to get away and enjoy the best North Carolina has to offer.

Great campsite with an awesome view! We were able to setup two big tents with plenty of room for everyone. Right after we setup an unexpected hail storm struck and we were glad to have the shelter to ride it out in. The shelter has a mini fridge, A/C, and an electric fireplace. Power, water, and the hot shower were nice luxuries. The walk down to the river was very easy.

The views were gorgeous! Having the options of tent camping, RV camping, & the bunkhouse makes it perfect for a group with variable accommodations. The privacy vs a regular campground, made it even better! We definitely plan to return with a group next year.

Awesome place and view, no neighbors in sight or earshot. Super private place where you can really feel alone and away from it all. The drive is pretty steep and somewhat tight in a spot or two in the dark, but we had no issues, just put it in 4wd at the bottom and eased up to the top.

Four wheel drive must have! Once you conquer the drive in, you have made it to a pure private slice of what the wilderness area is all about, only with very bougie accommodations. Our stay was a peak leaf change and wow what a spectacular show with a phenomenal view that is unbelievable. Already booked next year's trip.

My wife and I loved our camping experience here! It was very private with picturesque views of the river. We never wanted to leave. The small cabin and bathroom were wonderful luxeries. I highly recommend this hidden gem.

We LOVED this site. It’s definitely steep, our Jeep Cherokee almost didn’t make it… they’re not joking about needing 4WD. But this was definitely one of our favorite spots!

Plenty of room for activities. We loved that there was a path to the river. My 4 year old niece was able to walk the incline. We had a great time!

This is a really special place. The views and the hot tub were both amazing! There are lots of nature trails to explore nearby if you want to venture out. We had a great weekend and appreciate the host offering this place for others to experience it.

The bathroom + bunk room was great for making the camping experience easier. The tent areas were easily flat enough to sleep on comfortably, and the fire pit was very conducive to group conversations.
The river is about a 2 minute walk up and down a steep hill, but was a blast to play in!

My daughter and I had wonderful time camping on Katelyn's property. It was extremely quiet and secluded with plenty of flat ground for setting up our tent. Because the coffee shack was temporarily out of order, Katelyn graciously offered us access to her house and set up a coffee station in her kitchen. She was also very helpful and responsive and we would definitely like to visit again. Highly recommend!

The property was easy to find, and the site can be accessed with pretty much any vehicle even if it's a little hilly. The site is well maintained, and has an amazing view of the Broad River. Completely isolated, this is a great campsite for those that value privacy heavily. While we tent camped for most of our stay, the air conditioned shack was very welcome during the hottest times of the day. The site has amazing tree coverage, so with the exception of a 3-4 time frame, it is well shaded and cool. Highly recommend camping here.

Our family had an amazing time staying here! The A/C in the shed was a lifesaver. The views are breathtaking and the grounds are well maintained. The hike down to the water is steep, getting back up is a workout - but worth it!

Absolutely beautiful site! Private, picturesque and so peaceful! Lee was very responsive and helpful. I cannot say enough good things about this campsite, it is amazing! A4x4 would be helpful, but we were able to make our way up the driveway in a sprinter van with no issues. Highly recommend!

I am sure there are some spectacular camp sites on the west coast, but I doubt you will find anything better east of the Mississippi. Amazing view of Table Rock, hot tub, outdoor shower, easy hookups, and no one else around for miles. This site is a unicorn. The only caveat is that it takes some effort to get to it. The road/driveway up to the top of the mountain is gravel, steep, and has a few tight switchbacks. I pulled a 25 ft Airstream to the top and it was very sketchy. We made it, but we have a strong maneuverable tow vehicle. I am so thankful that we got to the top. It was worth it.

Nice and very private. You drive about 1/2 mile down a dirt/gravel road to get to the site. The area was clean and looks exactly like the pictures you see on Hipcamp. The shower, toilet and sink were nice to have. The AC worked well in the bunkhouse as did the small dorm size fridge. Two sides of the French doors were shattered when I arrived but didn’t bother me bc I never opened those doors.
The river is not really close to the site, it is probably 50-75 yards down a steep, overgrown hillside to get to the river. You can see where people have walked down but it’s not an actual trail. Especially in the summer with all of the foliage grown in. So just keep that in mind.
I would recommend for the privacy and cleanliness.
