Appeal Rating Very narrow roads and sites. Our site was not level, very hilly. Cable television was not working properly. Not worthy of a Good Sam Park. We will not go back to this campground.

Appeal Rating The access to this Campground (I did not say RV Park) was very tricky for our Motor Home; it was a narrow, twisting and turning road wide enough for only one vehicle to pass in most places. It also had a lot of low-hanging foliage.
We reserved a space for a 43' motor home with 50 Amp Service. Our site was actually for something considerably smaller and was equipped with a 30 Amp Receptacle (I did not say 30 Amp service). When we plugged in we barely had enough power to power the battery charger. Line 1 read a whopping 103 volts, Line 2 read 106 volts.
Cable TV was almost non-existent. Lots of snow and little image. Since the campground is in the wilderness, Satellite service wasn't an option.
Our local antenna was of no use to us due to the remoteness of the location.

Overall Rating Facility Rating Restroom Rating Appeal Rating Not worthy to be a Good Sam Park. More of a permanent dilapidated pull behind park with very small not level spaces and way over priced at $35 daily. Dirty bathrooms, office/store hardly ever open and large Hickory Nut trees to park under. Falling Hickory nuts Keep us awake all not to mention the possible damage to our rig and pull behind. Will never stay there again.

Owner and manager were very nice. Roads were very narrow but check in with the manager and he will guide you to the best spot for your rig. Since we had full hook ups we didn't bother checking out the bathrooms. Very quite and good views of the mountains. Close to Cherokee and several other attractions. The owner stopped by a couple of times just to check on us and make sure we didn't need anything. We enjoyed getting to know him.
