Wow! I went here thinking it would just be a waterfall. Boy was I wrong. There is enough here to keep you busy all day long and then some more. There is hiking, history, waterfall, caves, and even mini golf! This is a must visit!

Had a great Christmas the lights and falls are beautiful! But the lots are not explained because you have lots on the river side we would like to have had. But got stuck across the street. lots are tight and to close together. No privacy! In all we had a wonderful Christmas!

Nice quiet campground. Staff were helpful and everything was well maintained. This is a must see/stay place. Some of the tent spots are small and close together. Make sure you have a reservation in advance.

We had the best time. We were coming home from Chattooga and I lucked up on finding this beautiful place. Me, my husband, and our 3 year old loved the hike to the falls and bridge. The train ride was awesome. We will definitely be back soon!
