If you are looking for peace and solitude, this is the place for you. Bonus it is only five minutes to a grocery store, ice, fishing supplies, and a few restaurants. We found freshwater jellyfish, every sort of dragonfly possible, cool bugs I’ve never seen before, a queen snake, crawfish, rabbits, and the smallest type of frog there is. So basically any nature enthusiast’s dream. But surprisingly enough, no mosquitos! Hallelujah. The setup includes a large, flat area for your tent with a picnic table, clotheslines, and an additional table. In the heat of the day, we made our way down to the creek and stayed there for hours with our low profile beach chairs or hiked through the woods. The creek wasn’t quite deep enough to float. We floated on the pond some, but the creek was more our style. We fished some too. As she states, you definitely don’t want to take a car with low clearance to the site. This was so fun! We will definitely return.
Great site for dogs to run, swim, and play! I’m sure kids would have a blast as well. Lots to explore.
It was quite hot (97 degrees) and the pond and creek were low, but we still had a great time. Spent most of the day near the creek where it was shady.
Salem provided water which was great, but know there’s no way to keep it cool, great to wash up as needed though.
Double check firewood availability, gas station just a few miles away has firewood for sale if needed. Plenty of fallen branches for kindling.
Clearly marked drive in, but there is a small section of questionable driving, definitely would not recommend any low clearance vehicle. We were fine in an AWD SUV, but I could see a sedan easily getting into some trouble.
Overall, great weekend and I hope to visit again soon (especially in cooler weather)!

The whole weekend was great. The kids caught some fish and released them. The creek was our favorite thing. Took our chairs over to it and sat there. Great place to camp.

We loved camping there, the woods by the creek was a peaceful place to set up the tents and hammocks to sleep. The water was a huge hit for the kids and even for the adults.
The only improvements I think would be good is a more stable fire grill. And the toilet situation was a little unique and not a big hit.
Overall lovely time and would return!
The site was very nice. The fishing was epic. My son caught a massive large mouth and a monster catfish. We probably caught 80+ fish in 3 days. Plenty of 1-2lb bass. We also caught bull frogs at night. Such a nice property.
SUCH a great spot for rent camping. My girlfriends and I live in Charlotte and it was less than an hour away, but felt so far removed from the city. We were so happy we chose this spot. My dogs loved being able to roam free and swim too. Next time we want to bring paddle boards because the pond is perfect for something like that. On the other side of the pond there is this beautiful shaded area with a creek running through and it was a slice of heaven. HIGHLY recommend this spot for a secluded option, which is what we like best. We will most definitely be back again asap!

Second time going and it was just as good as the first. All around a great trip.
We LOVED this site! We knew the weekend was going to be rainy but still wanted a quick getaway. The camper was perfect! No taking down a tent in the rain or setting it back up to dry off when we got home. They had everything we needed. All we had to take were sheets, a blanket and our pillows.
The site was secluded. We could hear owls, crickets and frogs. The fire pit with a cooking grate was all we needed. There were extra chairs, a tiki torch with bug repellent, a table and a toilet. The beds were SUPER comfy and there was plenty of room for us and our kids. The creek was crystal clear and the boys loved catching crawdads and looking for fish. When it rained, we played cards under the shelter.
Salem was responsive and delivered firewood to our site and had everything ready and waiting for us.
We will definitely be back! So glad we found this place and it was available for our last minute trip. This was so much easier on us than our usual camping trips. It really is the best of both worlds!
This campsite absolutely lives up to its name - Peaceful Easy Feeling.
The whole weekend felt like nature showing off: dragonflies twirling around us, birds singing like they were in concert, and the lake buzzing with life. We spotted koi, fish, minnows, snapping turtles, and even a surprisingly cute little watersnake who was (quite proudly) having frog for lunch = front-row seats to the circle of life! Afternoons floating on personal rafts were pure bliss, evenings cooling off in the creek were refreshing, and nights by the firepit were perfection. Salem was such a kind and accommodating host, which made everything feel even more easy and welcoming. It all came together to make the weekend unforgettable — peaceful, easy and beautiful.
The camp is well aptly named. You absolutely get a peaceful easy feeling and it won’t let you down. Such a relaxing place to get away from the world. The pond and campsite were very clean and supplies, if needed, were only 10 minutes away. The dogs had an awesome time in and out of the water and the canoe provided was a nice bonus.

We really enjoyed this spot along with our dogs 🐕 Our one dog especially enjoyed the pond for fetching sticks! The canoe was a fun touch and we enjoyed some laps around the pond trying to spot the koi fish. The owls were hootin and hollerin throughout the day and night which was really cool
🦉 We also heard some turkeys our first night and the next morning.
Great isolated location. Frogs and other night critters sing you to sleep. Tent pad is excellent! Be sure to check out the town of Gold Hill.
This was our 4th trip to this site and it feels like it gets better each time. The new updates they've made are fantastic and make for such a great experience. Check them out!!
Great campsite, great land surrounding and great host. Very quiet, peaceful place to get away. Would highly recommend.

Had such a fun time! Site was very private and away from all the hustle and bustle (couldn’t hear anything but nature). Host was attentive and brought us extra firewood :) property had well managed trails and our dogs enjoyed their off leash privileges.
10/10 would camp again!
This place was absolutely perfect! We had such a fun time camping, canoeing, and exploring the woods! The stars were gorgeous at night and we could hear the frogs and the barred owl calls. Couldn’t have asked for a better camping destination! We were able to drive right up to the camp site and had plenty of room to relax and explore.
We had a great time! The hosts have water (and wood if purchased) ready for campers when they arrive. Really nice, clean area to hangout and plenty of spots to set up tents. We appreciated the wood, water, & watercloset available.

We loved spending the weekend here! It was so peaceful, quiet, and private. It was easy to get to with clear instructions and signs leading you to the campsite. We loved using the canoe and fishing off the dock! Salem was a responsive, helpful, and kind host. I highly recommend staying here. We are hoping to come back in the summer!
This was an amazing camp area! Loved the privacy and the area around to explore. We went on a rainy weekend and still had the best time! The host is very communicative and helpful. Definitely going to book again in the future

This campsite was great! It was super peaceful and secluded. We were able to allow our dog to run around without any fear of other people/animals around. Salem was very responsive and helpful. We will be back!
This place was perfect for a car camp. The site had plenty of space, it was clean, the water provided was useful and the seclusion was exactly what we were looking for. We usually go to a national forest to camp, this site has spoiled us now. We are definitely coming back. Thanks Salem.
Perfect spot for a boys weekend. 5 dads and 5 kids. It was nice being able to sit at the fire pit and watch the boys ride bikes around the pond.
I was able to make it down with a minivan and another guy with a Honda Civic, but definitely a little sketchy. AWD or 4x4 recommended.
Lots of owls on the property! You could hear them throughout the night.
My only complaint is that you could still hear the distant road noise and there was a party nearby our first night with loud music. This wouldn't prevent me from coming back.

This campsite was out of a dream! The road to get to the site was a little bit nerve wrecking (in a sedan) but once you’re in, it doesn’t even matter because you don’t want to leave again lol! The lake was beautiful and everything was exactly how you would want it. Salem was extremely responsive and kind to my many questions. We also ran out of wood on the last day and they brought us more within an hour. We walked all around and down the creek a ways and it was super private. We will definitely be booking again!
