It is in fact a Billion Dollar View
Pros:
View is amazing! Arguably better than most of the overlooks on the Parkway
Elevation makes it a great spot to escape the summer heat
Great centralized location to enjoy local attractions & hikes/waterfalls in the area
Host was awesome! Very responsive, great communication & instructions
Complementary firewood available to use at site
Secluded, quiet, relaxing
Cons:
Not many level spots on the site. We did not notice until the day we were leaving, but there are some pieces of 2x4’s that could have been used to level our cooking station & cots
Very rocky. Difficult to get tents stakes into the ground. Even used lag bolts and an impact driver in place of stakes & still had a hard time
Not much grass, mostly dirt site
Things to note:
4X4 is absolutely required for the drive up
Long drive up the mountain but the views are worth it
There appears to be multiple trail cams on property which provided a sense of security while we were away from camp. There’s one at the entrance that Scott told us we could turn off, but we also noticed one at the top of the camp that’s not accessible. We weren’t made aware of this cam. Not sure if it was on or not but it appeared to be pointed directly at the campsite and did make the site feel less private
Spacious site with beautiful views. Scott has added some nice amenities like a grill, plenty of seating, picnic tables, hammock stand, & free firewood. We absolutely enjoyed the place and would recommend to others. Thank you again Scott!
