What Our Guests Are Saying About Their Stay
It was great! The rv lot sits up, so you don't have to worry about flooding like some of the other rv parks in the area. The office staff was super nice! Checkin was good, even for after hours! Other campers were friendly there. Great dog friendly and kid friendly park! The walk to see the Yadkin river and the covered bridge and trail were pretty cool too! Trash pickup was at ur site daily, which was nice! The location was good, being close to the highway, restaurants, Foodlion, but still tucked away in a quiet area! They have events, but unfortunately we didn't make it back to see and it was rainy. I would definitely recommend this site!!
Great little campground in Jonesville, NC!! Our friend told us about it near her house so we booked it!! So glad we did!! Convenient to our trips to Perry Lowe's for apples and cider and Mt Airy to wonder around "Mayberry" for ice cream and shop for fabric at the Fabric Menagerie!! Great new park with multiple playgrounds for the kids, a laundry and restrooms and hiking path. There are WiFi access points all around the park. A must to stay at if in the Elkin or Jonesville area!!!
Stayed here for one night on our way down to Florida. It is definitely a park we would have enjoyed staying longer if it was in our plans. Good sized and roomy sites, well kept grounds, clean (spotless) bath houses and friendly staff. It appears that the relatively new owners are continuously adding improvements to the park.
