Therapeutic Getaway
Camping by Craig's riverside retreat and hearing the water's movement all day & night, was just what we imagined it would be. Therapeutic & scenic. There was a lot of space to spread out including a small, private beach that came with our site. Craig was very responsive to our questions, before & during our stay. We also enjoyed our campfire with the great wood he delivered for a small fee. The newer & very clean bathhouse felt like an upgrade compared to other busier campgrounds we have visited. Another highlight has to be the colorful autumn bouquet that was delivered to our picnic table before we arrived for a reasonable price. It was just one of a few additional offerings they provide when you book your stay. We look forward to enjoying Craig's place again!

Private Campsite with Bathhouse
We stayed at this campsite a few days after Hurricane Helene hit, but the place was still in great shape! Great place to pitch our 10x8 tent with vestibule on a level, sandy spot. We appreciated the picnic table and close potable water. The site is located right next to a fast-moving stream. The fire pit is on a rocky beach almost in the middle of the stream. Amazing spot to enjoy a fire in the evening. The campsite was private, and we very much enjoyed and appreciated the bathhouse. Great water pressure and clean shower! We could have walked to it, but we ended up driving our car back and forth. The only downside for us was the proximity to Highway 25. One of us is a very light sleeper, and we could hear a little road noise, even above the wonderful sound of the stream. Great location and very close to local wineries and Traveler's Rest. It is close to great hiking, but all of the parks were closed due to the Hurricane.

Craig was awesome. He responded quickly, even helping us navigate some road closures that were outside of his control.
The property is great, right on the river. My kids loved being beside it. We enjoyed two nights of relaxing. Campfires, skipping rocks, s’mores, the works.
We will be back!

The site was really beautiful and private. We had a wonderful time, as did our 3 children. The river is so cool and picturesque. The bathroom was clean and nice too. Lots of park closures in the area but Craig recommended poinsett bridge which was a very cool place to visit!

This might have to be a recurring spot for me and my family.
We’re used to staying at state parks and other campgrounds, which is great. But having a nice open space by the riverside AND a personal bathroom with hot water and shower… it’s such a perfect setup. Especially with a 2.5 year old running around.
One of our first nights were heard some foxes calling to one another which was also very exciting to listen to.
Craig was really nice and him supplying firewood and eggs (fairly priced) was ultra convenient.
One minor point I have to make is there is road noise from nearby… but that is minor in comparison to the rest.
