AWD or 4WD is REQUIRED to get to our campsite.
Firewood and a fire ring with flip-top grill is provided.
A kitchen shelter with large counter, sink and composting toilet are yours to use. Foot-pump hand-washing stations in the kitchen and bathroom are provided.
Campers must fill the 5 gallon water supply buckets for hand-washing stations at the spigot. This means carrying a 5 gallon bucket, filled with as much water as you want, about 100 yards.
Campers must fill their own drinking water bottles at the spigot.
One electrical outlet and a spigot with potable water are provided a short, easy walk down the dirt road, within view of the campsite.
A gravel parking area right next to the campsite can easily fit 2 cars, and is cozy for 3-4 cars.
A mulched, open tent area is provided around the fire-ring with room for 4 large tents. Particular tent pads are not designated. The tent area is more communal (ie. each tent does not have it's own secluded, private space.)
A large deck (with a few chairs) next to the parking/tent area looks out onto a southwestern view of the Nantahala Range. The deck has posts with eyelets for a hammock.
A short, steep nature trail along the ridge ends at a small meditation deck with 2 chairs.
A trash, recycling and composting station is located next to the kitchen shelter.
A private, enclosed composting toilet with sink and foot-pump hand-washing station is a short walk from the kitchen shelter. Starter toilet paper and starter soap are provided. Campers must bring their own TP & soap, if they will need more. A few gallons of water for hand-washing are provided to start with. Campers must refill the 5 gallon water supply bucket at the spigot, if they need more water.

First, let me say that the description of the site was accurate. The site overlooks the sunset, with a nice viewing deck and a smaller deck up a trail. There is a clean bathroom, a mulched area for tents, and a fire pit. The host was easy to communicate with and fast to respond. The site is a few hundred feet from the nearest house, but private, the houses not being visible from the site. The road up was decent, you will likely want a 4WD or AWD due to one steep gravel section. The locale is quiet except for the occasional rooster on a nearby farm. The place has a good vibe, we would stay there again.
