This campsite by the Saluda River is a serene spot perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle. Many campers praise the peacefulness and natural beauty, with highlights like riverside views and the chance to explore nearby woods. Mike, the host, is often mentioned for his helpfulness and friendly nature, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. However, some campers noted occasional noise from a nearby highway and limited amenities, which might require some planning ahead.

Fern Gully
This place was great. The hosts were really nice and communicative. Highly highly recommend. Worth the money for privacy and a spot you’d have to hike to find, anywhere else.

The Far Out
Excellent peaceful little spot. Perfect for a quick overnighter near town. Communication was great and most appreciated.

This was mine and my girlfriend’s first camping adventure and it definitely did not disappoint! Our little spot at Fern Gully couldn’t have been more ideal. The slope to the water is a bit steep (careful with pets) but we not only survived it, we enjoyed it! The view of the river and sound of nearby rapids were peaceful and the fireplace at night was comforting and much needed, so thankful for that. The hosts Kelly and Mike were both friendly and helpful. I’m so glad I chose this spot to have our first camping experience!

Five stars~! This campsite was very beautiful and well kept, the view of the Saluda river is awesome. If you come during warm weather there's a little dock you can enter and emerge from the river. Mike came down on his ATV and helped get our fire started then chatted with us for awhile, he is a very interesting fellow. I highly recommend this stellar hip camp~!
