Loved it.
The owner hospitality is unbelievable. They are so accommodating and welcoming, and they thought of everything. The campsite is great, the river is amazing. We'll be back.

Relaxing, Accommodating and Fun!
We loved camping at Carl's Campsites with Laura and Steve. We opted for the Saturday night Dinner and it was delicious and enjoyable to eat and chat together.
They have a gorgeous property with a beautiful River that you can swim, fish, float, or splash in. We had 3 kids with us and we spent time finding interesting rocks and skipping them across the water.
They have a nice hiking trail on their property, and horseshoes, a volleyball net and they provided wood for our campfire and a hammock to lounge in. They even covered our wood to keep it dry from the showers the first day and offered to get a fire going for our arrival.
This is my second time at their campsites and I loved both experiences. I will definitely be back and recommend to anyone camping near Pilot Mountain. Wonderful hosts!

We had a group of 15 women out there this weekend and Laura and Steve were the best! The food they mad was out of this world and we had soo much left over. The grounds were very well kept and easy to walk. They had set up volleyballs, horse shoe, and other games for us. The bathroom situation was so easy for never experiencing a bucket before. We will be back here regularly.

#6 - River Rest
Rescue dog campsite approved!!
One of my favorite new getaways!! Had the best time for 3 nights and truly missed the tranquil rapids when we had to drive away.
Loved the river and memories made with new friends! Loved loved the super dog friendly space!! Site 5 is fairly close by but wonderful community/neighbors made the stay even better !!

Toads, river, spacious :)
The host was kind and ended up giving us a nice amount of space on Labor Day, since there wasn't many people there, they did not rush us at check-out time which we're very happy with. It allowed us to spend time at the river with the sun coming through. I would definitely consider snatching this spot again! It is not as private as we expected but there is plenty of space.
