A group of 4 of us stayed at "Under the Stars at Chimney Rock" campground in September 2022. One of my friends reserved cabin 4 online ahead of time unbeknownst to us when we arrived our reserved cabin was given away to another guest since they wanted to be closer to another entity that had also reserved a cabin. Our cabin was given away without letting us know ahead of time. On top of it, we were given a smaller cabin in its place even though the campground had a similar cabin we eventually did receive after we complained to the new owners. Compared to years ago the cabin round tolls are almost double the price and are not good value for what you receive. The cabins are pretty primitive and there is not much space. There is space between the cabins though so I do have to give the campground credit for that. Reserving kayaks ahead of time was also painful since the owners did not return phone calls. They did return a text message which eventually ended up with me talking to someone else in the office on the phone so it was convoluted to start with. When my friends and I as well as a few other travelers were waiting to be taken up the river to kayak back down. The owner made numerous comments about my friends not being smart or intelligent and even mentioned that she doesn't do a good job being kind to guests and that she could do better. I would hope and assume that she was being playful and just joking around, but when you are an owner of a business, it's probably not good to say that stuff when you aren't aware of the guests or how they would react. Overall, I feel it was just a poor experience and I won't be back.
