Scenic, Creek, Private, 5* Host
This is spot on what we were looking for in a campsite, and it delivered on all fronts. Our site had real privacy with genuine separation from our neighbors, thanks to the mature forest and the way the sites are spaced. It seemed like this was true for the other sites we saw while exploring. This was a quick overnight, but it had what we want camping with two young'uns. They could roam a little without us worrying we were on top of anyone, and we could actually hear the creek instead of other families next door (ahem Stone Mountain ahem).
It looks like there's creek access at every site and it was the highlight. We spent several hours just sitting by the water. The kids would've stayed all day. We also got out on the trails, which connect from the property. Ferns, wildflowers, stuff I can't ID... everywhere. Spotted deer, a turkey, heard owls, and saw a couple of hawks. Being tucked between Pilot Mt and Hanging Rock makes it an easy basecamp if you want to explore, we stayed close.
Host set this place apart. He's a licensed forest man or something and seemed to know everything from the flora and the fauna and local terrain; great for us, not being as familiar with any of that! Thorough ahead of arriving, generous with info, and clearly someone who knows and cares for this property deeply.
Met 2 other fams, 1 with all the kids, everyone having a great time.
Bonus: even had better service than at home!
We'll definitely be back for a longer stay. This is a special spot.
