Site 1 (Annelle's Campground)

We had lots of fun fishing and chilling for the night. We came early and started fishing right away. The fishing was ok but it was very hot outside. Once it cooled down for the night it was much better. We caught a couple nice bass. My son used the canoe and caught one out on the water. We had a blast and definitely will be back

A very pretty site in a secluded area. They have kayaking and a perfect spot to see the stars. Would go there again!

Site 1 (Annelle's Campground)

It was a nice spot to setup camp right on the waters edge. Hosts were very responsive. Bring your kayak and poles, the fishing is great. Peaceful and relaxing. I'll be back,

Sterling Lake Campsite

Wonderful stay!

My friends and I had a great weekend at Irene’s campsite! The site is very private and has a beautiful view of the lake. We had a lot of fun hiking in the trails behind the campsite, sitting around the campfire, kayaking on the lake and fishing in the lake/pond. Kathryn was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed! Definitely recommend for a peaceful get away!

Beautiful sight in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains. Fantastic lake for fishing or swimming, the owner is very kind and will go out of her way to make your stay comfortable and memorable. I will definitely visit again.
