Great tent camping and creek fun!
Swedish Lillac was a wonderful place for our tent camping weekend! We fell asleep to the sound of the creek every night, which was wonderful! The kids loved splashing around during the day! The bathrooms and showers are very clean and well kept and the WiFi is super fast everywhere in camp. Plenty of fire wood too! Fitz and Valerie kindly checked in a few times to make sure we had everything we needed, which was very thoughtful! The campground is right up the road from St. Mary’s Falls (~4 miles round trip hike - basically flat) - an amazing experience - and a full grocery store was only about 12 minutes away - and not far from Lexington. Super serene, as quiet as could be - one of the best camping experiences we’ve had!

River side gem
This lovely campground by the river has it all! It’s very well maintained with shaded sites or sunny ones. The hosts keep everything immaculate and they are very helpful without being obtrusive.

It's the second time we've stayed here. We'll definitely be staying here again. Very nice and quiet campground with gracious hosts. Well maintained and a clean bath house.

We enjoyed staying here very much. The river is wonderful and the campground was very quiet when we were there. The bathhouse is older but very clean and well-taken care of. Fritz and Valerie were great hosts that wanted to make sure our stay went well. Campground is not far from Lexington and it does not take long to get to the Blue Ridge Parkway or hiking trails.

Great stay, awesome hosts.
What a cool little campground right on the river. We camped in our 40' Motorhome. Spots are spread out well. River is right behind the campground so you wake up to flowing water ambiance. Dogs got to swim for a bit too. Not too far from town - we stopped in for a bit to eat then over to DB for a craft beer flight. Wish we stayed another night or 2 - it was peaceful! Bathhouse was nice to have too. Great spot if you like the secluded outdoors! They had wifi for us too....we personally have a Tmobile router which worked fine but you won't have Verizon cell signal. The best part was the owners. They were incredibly helpful. TS Debby was moving in right when we were planning on arriving and Fritz called me to talk me through the best route and he even held the site for me without me needing to book it, just in case. They greeted us upon arrival and were real friendly. Definitely come visit!

Would definitely book again!
This place was great - we would 10/10 recommend. The showers and bathrooms were very clean, and the site we stayed in was fantastic! We had access to a fire pit, firewood, and picnic table area. The hosts were very friendly and willing to answer questions. They seem to genuinely care about this campground, and it really shows! The wifi signal was strong in RV1. The stream behind the campground was perfect for our kids to play in before/after our treks out and about. This is a hidden gem - don’t skip over it!
