This is no place for peace and quiet. It's overrun with falling down drunks, stereo-blaring yeehaws, and fools tearing up and down the gravel road non-stop, sometimes with their kids riding on the outside of vehicles. Fireworks (the really big stuff) went on all day and night, and management didn't give a hoot. My dog has been around plenty of... More

After reading reviews of this campground I was very hesitant to try them, but am very glad we did. "Party campground" does seem to fit. Yes, there were a lot of groups consuming alcohol and I am sure many of them were pretty noisy. But, the campground is huge, when I made my reservation I requested "quiet" and the person... More

I knew we were in trouble when upon check-in they require you to sign a legal waiver that all the campground is in good order. This before they will let you in. Basically the whole place is overrun with one drunk obnoxious group after another. Don't plan on enjoying any peaceful sleep when you're between the loudspeakers from the rap... More

This was our 4th trip to Chimney Rock... we always go up for a weekend for cabin camping and a float down the river. The cabins are well designed and comfortable for 6 people! They are also set away from the other campers and we have never had any problems with fellow cabin campers. The owners are always very accommodating... More

We stayed at this campground from Friday-Sunday. We stayed in the "Family section". There were 100's of drunk college kids every where. They used profanity and did not seem to be shy about their bodies. There is only one bath house with 2 showers for women and 2 for men. There were 2 toliets and 1 sink in each bathroom.... More

We had a great time on our little Vacation there! We stayed in the Cabins across the street from the camp grounds on a Friday-Monday. The cabin was amazing, clean, and comfortable. We easily cook our dinners and sat around the camp fire. Canoeing was great! The equipment was in great shape and the staff was very helpful! We are... More

Well, everyone has different expectations from a camping trip. Our hopes were to get away from it all for a back-to-nature weekend, but this was not the place for that trip. It is probably different on a weekday (we went Fri night), but our trip featured a different kind of wildlife. If your idea of a good camping trip is... More
