#2 Riverside Great Camping Cabin
Great spot right on the river! We had a great time at At the Ridge Camp- Riverside Escapes. We are a family of 5 & stayed in cabin #2. It is a rustic camping cabin but was clean, spacious enough for all of us to sleep comfortably & had electricity. The showers were HOT & Tom made sure we had everything needed. They are still rebuilding from Helene but are definitely up & ready for campers! We will definitely be back.

Upon arrival my group and I were appalled by the blatant misrepresentation of the campsite from the website. The photos on the website show a scenic creekside campsite. That was not our experience; we instead had a view of excavators in a mass clearing of trees. The bathrooms were practically unusable with the water not working. I would steer clear of this place and find a nice free site in the woods!

Wonderful stay in cabin #2! Host was super helpful with tips on staying warm. It was about 34 degrees and we were very toasty with the 2 space heaters provided. Comfortable beds too!

It was a very pleasant stay. We got there about an hour after sunset and didn't have difficulty finding the property in the dark. Slept well listening to the sound of the river right next to us. I didn't realize that on the other size of the river was a road and we'd also hear cars. We purchased firewood from Carrie, and it was actually $10, not $5 like it mentions on the advertisement. We ended up wanting to get more wood, and that was a bit of a hassle as Carrie isn't actually the one managing the property. There were other people involved in managing the property that we had to communicate with and go find. Ultimately would've been easier to bring our own, but nevertheless we did acquire all the firewood we wanted, albeit all damp. There were some permanent residents on the property in nearby campers, all pleasant. Overall would recommend and may return in the future.

Absolutely wonderful stay! We had such an amazing time exploring the area and coming back to a warm cabin. The sound of rushing water was like a natural white noise. Everyone should experience this at least once!

Was a very good trip. 30 minutes from brevard so we spent the day there. Plenty of amenities and was a much better option than sleeping in a tent during cold weather.
