EmberGlow is an amazing high end Glamping/Camping resort! So far we have stayed in a pod and a yurt…read moreand loved both. The pod was just a little small but very well thought out! The 16' yurt was incredible! It was so clean, well appointed, and spacious. The queen bed is super comfy, bathroom lovely, kitchenette had all we needed! We were there during the week and had our whole section of the campground to ourselves and we had the pool completely to ourselves 2 days in a row The 1st night there was a whopping thunderstorm and our yurt was so cozy! Lying in bed watching the lightning through the skylight and hearing the rain on the canvas will always be a favorite memory for us! The whole resort is so well thought out and the people are super sweet! Thank you Nancy for being so kind and accommodating!

I feel so lucky that we found this cute campground! Because of the fires there was a burn ban however it wasn't a problem. The hiking trails were very nice and everything was clear from Helene so we could access them. We were camping in our RV but there are so many great accommodations if you don't have anything to camp in. To me the best thing was the bathroom and shower! I have never been to a campground that had such great showers!! Incredibly clean and they have shampoo, conditioner and body wash in there for you to use. They even had towels rolled up in cubbies! Who has that! We loved it so much that we already booked a spot for next year :)

The service was quick and the food well prepared. They checked on me twice about my meal.

The room I had had a small step out balcony overlooking the manicured courtyard and pool. The lobby has plenty of seating and a bar with small kitchen for lite entrees and pre-packaged food. I didn't have a car so the only places nearby was a QT gas station that only has drinks and snacks and a KFC across the street. The workout room had 3 machines and some weights, the room was just that big.

Everyone made us feel so comfortable and like family. We were lucky enough to be there on Buff circle night and for a $20 donation we were able to eat all we wanted of some really delicious food.

I was booked to play a gig last Oct at Carolina Foothills Resort in Chesnee SC. CFR is a campground…read morefor nudists. I had been looking for venues where I could play outside and somehow or another Google led me here so I sent them a request letter. I quickly got an email back from CFR inviting me to come play, they had no problem paying my asking price. They even offered to put me up for the night. When we pulled into the campground, it just looked like a normal campground. Campers everywhere, kids playing, people on golf carts...then we passed by a naked guy washing his car. My wife looked at me with big eyes,said "That guy was naked!" and started to giggle. We checked in at the office, and the lady who checked us in, Bev, was fully dressed. We signed some paper that basically said we would behave, and were given a key to a cabin. We drove over and took our stuff in. I asked my wife if she was coming to the pool for my gig. She just laughed, gave me a kiss, and told me to go have fun. On the way out the door I stopped, looked at my wife and said screw it, and I got undressed. "When in Rome".... I'm not going to lie. I was not in my comfort zone. I was contracted to play from 3-6. Audience response was good. I got laughter at all of the right places, people came up to say hi and thank me for playing, people were dancing. I'd say the average age was mid 50s and up. There was every body shape and size you could possibly imagine. Stretch mark's, flabby bellies and boobs, saggy butts, old faded tattoos and when they start dancing all that starts moving around... But after 10-20 minutes something in your brain changes. You stop noticing all of that and you just see people enjoying themselves. At one point this young 25 year old woman with a perfect body, meaning not a blemish, not a scar, not a stretch mark, with great perfect muscle tone walked up and threw me a tip. Her nudity didn't even register, at least not in any sexual way. I noticed how nice her skin was. I was jealous of her youth, I noticed her smile and how warm and friendly she came across. Any sexuality related to nudity was simply non-existent. at some point later I was talking to one gentleman and remarked how incredible it was to see how accepting everyone was and how comfortable everyone was in their own skin. He told me "That's because we're all perfect just the way we are" He is right. After I was done with my gig (I played 2:45-6:15 with no breaks) I went back to the cabin where my wife was resting and we went to the bonfire. There were people there from age 20 to 70. Some wre nude, some were dressed. Being nude was no different that not being nude. Nobody acknowledged one or the other, except to compliment one of the younger girls on a pair of boots she was wearing. If you want to be naked, be naked. If you don't want to be naked, don't be naked. It was no different than wearing a ball cap or a watch. My wife is very modest and had earlier told me that she was not getting naked, no how, no way, simply ain't happening. CFR is CLothing Optional and the only places where nudity is required are the Hot Tub and the pool. We went to the hot tub and she got got naked and got in. A little later she got in the pool as well. A couple of people walked by and she tensed up, but she held her ground and walked thru her anxiety. Sunday Morning we awoke to rain. We decided to go hit the hot tub before leaving and once again she got nude. This time several people came by and they all thanked me for playing. The entire weekend (Sat noon - Sunday noon) the people could not have possibly been any more friendly and welcoming. They would make it a point to say hello, ask if we needed anything, people offered to feed us. It was the most welcoming, inviting, accepting group of people I remember ever encountering in the last decade or two. When we left I was a bit down. I wasn't looking forward to having to return to the real world, the one that makes you wear pants. Visiting CFR is a life changing experience. I don't know about any other resort, but when this one says it is family oriented, what they really mean is they treat each other, and the guests, like family. They are interested in you. They want to get to know you. The nudity is just an added benefit, the real draw here is the camaraderie, the sense of community. I guess the nudity helps to facilitate that but they treat the sense of community as the utmost, primary principle here. We have be come regulars here, visiting one weekend a month. Our favorite time to visit is in the winter. There are less people, Things are quieter and slower, The pool is closed, but the Hot Tub which is at a constant 104 degrees is always open That Hot Tub is something else.
