Hammocks are the same price as tents
This place was a much needed escape after driving straight up from Texas to see land that was a bust. We were the only primitive campers and were able to be right by the river access. Which I wouldn’t recommend during a busier time but people only came by a couple times and were very respectful of how quite it is. Our dogs loved the no leash rule and even met a older dog there. He seemed timid but we realized he was just trying to take our dogs on a property tour haha. He may have been the on site dog because the day before he made his way down to the river. He handled our young brother dogs very well if he was a permanent resident. If we are ever traveling through we will be stopping by again 💚
Great atmosphere and Good music by newer groups, need more food vendors. Also, I consider this more adult than kid friendly tho they seemed to encourage kids and had lots of activities.
Greeted by John the owner. Very friendly. We love the off leash dog freedom. Rockcastle River was perfect for our golden to play..Simple, great people. Highly recommend this place. 20 sites. Firing for each, electrical and water hook ups. And stage for music festivals ,, scenic drive to get there off Highway 75. If you’re an off-road her it’s near wildcat Mountain Off-road park.
