The Hideaway
Pretty Place
Perfect for our short stay this past weekend. Met the owner felt welcomed. We will definitely come back again soon & stay longer than one night. Close to everything we needed.

The Wanderer
Had a great time at The Wanderer site. Several different spots available to pitch a tent. Place is well kept and owner was very nice and made themselves available for anything we needed. River adjacent to the sight has a walk through area and it’s between 5-6 inches deep. We sat chairs up in the river and just got our feet wet. Would 10/10 recommend to anyone.

Great weekend camping
Had a party of 14 and had enough space for all of us. Kids have fun tubing and canoeing that was provided. Had dogs from other site that kept coming and scaring the kids but got used to them. Nice and quiet spot. We had some phone service (not great). Bruce was super nice and checked up on us as soon as he got back. Easy to communicate with not a problem there. Would go again!

Anniversary Trip
Beautiful place to get away. The next sites are well hidden from each other. Loved walking the river bed. There's a place a few miles away for a quick fire wood pick up. Highly recommend!!

The Wanderer
Great site, location and experience
We had an awesome time camping at The Wanderer! The river was pretty cold,
so it was super refreshing in the heat (high of 87). The camp site is quite shaded so that was also great. A super solid spot camping in the summer! Never felt too hot.
We brought the pup and she had a blast! She has good recall and is a swimmer so was able to wonder and was in heaven with the river! The site isn’t fenced in but there it's plenty of room to tie a dog up to one the trees on a long lead if they can’t roam freely. Awesome place to bring a pup!
Great location to go into downtown Morganton
and Hickory. Also close to some good trails! We hiked Linville Falls (about an hour away).
10/10 stay!

The Hideaway
Great host. Inconsiderate campers.
The campsite was well maintained. The tree canopy made the site pretty dim-lighted but kept it cool during the day. Although we preferred the Hideaway site because you could hear the sounds from the river, we were allowed to change to the other site for more sunlight.
If we come back we would book both campsites. Unfortunately, some campers booked the site just up the way from us and showed up at 9:30pm and had their music and loud conversation going all the way until 4:30/5am. Needless to say, we didn't sleep well and it ended our stay on a negative note.
