This was my second time here, I loved setting up my tent by the water again. The views of the mountains are beautiful, and lots of fireflies come out at dusk. The other sites are far enough away to have some privacy, and you can park your car in the grass right on the site. I was actually switched over to site 9 on the end, which was closer to the front bathhouse. I definitely felt safe camping solo, and Ed was kind enough to reach out and make sure to give me directions and a code to the bathhouse.

A great place to camp, nestled in the Smokey Mountains. The tent campsite was immaculate situated along a river. The property includes a newly built, modern bathhouse with all the amenities. A hot shower after a long day of motorcycling is priceless. Thank you for making this slice of heaven available to us out-of-towners.

We loved tent camping here! It was incredibly easy to get to, very clean, a beautiful property, and quiet! We felt safe, and would recommend to our friends and family! Our site did not have a picnic table, so plan to bring some type of camping table for cooking/serving!

Site had all amenities listed but host took a few days to “welcome us”. WiFi password provided was no longer correct and not even broadcast. We had to roam around the host property to find restrooms and showers, no signs posted. 3 campsites are for daily use one in the stretch is a full time camper. Just down the road is bathroom and showers next to what appears to be a bunch of other full time residents. We woke one morning to our dogs going crazy. One of the full timers was fishing directly behind our camper in the creek with his dog off lead investigating our camper. We had to ask him to call back his dog to help ours calm down. We were sitting by the fire one other night and a local was shooting his gun just across the road from us, it is a country setting so the host doesn’t have control over neighbors but it is something to consider if you don’t like close gunfire while relaxing.
The only interaction with the host was a few nights in when he was nice enough to warn of an approaching storm and warned of high winds coming. We had sent a few messages that were replied to days later so kinda hard to communicate. He did provide his cell for quicker response but we were at the end of our stay at this point. Lots to do and enjoy in the area but also lots of other options to find to stay. Overall I’d stay again but I would also look for a better spot before settling on this again.

Nice place! Very quiet and right on the Valley River. A lot of hiking and fishing opportunities near by. Andrews was a nice little town!

The best part of the stay was seeing and hearing the river. The cows mooing in the late afternoon and evening on the other side of the stream reminded me of my childhood. We were the only ones at the tent site area.
When we arrived for our 3 night stay in August, the bathroom/shower house was dirty with no cleaning supplies or TP available, but by the last night someone came to clean it and restocked the TP. Luckily, we had our own.
It is a great location if you enjoy rafting. There are several businesses to choose from.

The Wolf Den cabin was perfect place to stay for me and 2 friends on our fishing trip! The cabin itself was nice, clean, and had everything we needed. The screened in porch was awesome for relaxing in the evenings. The cabin is literally right on the river with a decent little fishing hole not too far up stream. We were also a short drive from many fishing spots along the valley river between Andrews and Murphy with the Nantahala just 20 mins north of us.

The cabin was so clean and cozy. The creek behind the cabin was the perfect place to have coffee in the morning. My kids loved the loft. We would definitely stay here again! It's proximity to Nantahala was sweet. We went up there almost every day!

We had a wonderful stay over the 4th of July. The campground is easily accessible, well-laid out, and beautiful. The campsites are level and spacious, very big rig friendly. We also loved having the creek just outside. We would definitely recommend and look forward to visiting again in the future.

Ed is a wonderful attentive host. We had a peaceful 2 days here. Loved the cool babbling brook, beautiful fireflies in the evening and a view of the Smokies in front of the property. The bath house was lovely and super clean. Will definitely return!

It was easy to find, right by the creek with mountains around. We loved seeing all the fireflies at night. Restroom was clean, just make sure you ask for the door code in advance.

The site was right beside a nice creek which was very refreshing during the heat of the day. The tent sites are spaced a good distance apart. The bathhouse was a little far but we're extremely nice and clean.

I recently stayed at this site. The main issue was that dogs were allowed to roam loose, and one of them tried to attack my family and kids. This made us feel unsafe throughout our stay. Additionally, the campsites were too close to each other. Especially sites 6 and 7.

Beautiful location with great access to an amazing part of WNC. Our dogs had a blast. Wonderful night skies but impacted by light pollution beaming from a giant lit up cross. Camping on the creek was nice, and it was perfect for cooling off on a hot day.

Great site by the river. It’s close to the Gorge and there’s a fantastic Italian restaurant 2 miles away… just in case you really don’t want to cook that gourmet campfire meal you found on TikTok.

Cool little spot next to a small river. Felt a little more like a campground than some HipCamps I've been too. Convenient port-a-potty that was clean. At night we heard someone shooting guns until around 10:30p. Super easy in/out for a quick stop off highway 64/74.

Nice and quiet location right on the river with mountain views, good for star gazing, wildlife watching, and relaxing. I was worried when I saw the train tracks, but we never heard or saw a train the whole week we were there.

Nice affordable campsite with firepit and latrine. Access to showerhouse, but I didn't use it. Next to river - nice to hear sound of river in the evening. Was quite windy, but did fine in the tent.

It was an awesome place to camp! Tent sites literally right on the river! Site #7 was perfect! We had our own little area down by the water where our 5 year old had the time of his life walking in the water and throwing rocks. It’s a small campground but that’s what makes it so nice because it’s quiet. And even if somebody is camping next to you you’ve got plenty of room and privacy. The bathhouse feels like your own personal bathroom. The doors have codes to get into them so you’ve got plenty of privacy! Some might now like it but we loved it because it felt totally private! And IT WAS VERY CLEAN! AND SANITARY!! the owner Ed was so nice and very helpful! He actually took time out of his day to come down and help us with our truck because it wouldn’t start! Thankfully because without him idk what we would have done! We are definitely going back a lot this summer! We loved it and so did our son. Nothing beats the sound from the river so close at night time! It’s an awesome place!

Stopped here to catch a few hours of sleep. We showed up at dark and left before sunrise. We showered and appreciated the nice clean restrooms. The park was quiet and clean from what we seen from our headlights. I would stay there again. I will also say Ed was very helpful and nice when I called him for the restroom code.
