She immediately makes you feel like a life long friend.We didn't have the RV and horse with with us this trip so we didn't use one of her hookups or the horse paddocks this time but can say they are high quality and clean. We stayed in the lodge itself. Comfortable area to socialize complete with a beautiful handcrafted bar. Our bedroom had a country feel and would be a bargain at 3x the price. However, we didn't spend much time in it as there is so much to do here. It was a very short walk to the main town area. It is like walking on the set of a Western like Gunsmoke complete with Miss Kitty's saloon. There are horses tied to hitching rails and not a motorized vehicle in sight. I don't remember how many riding trails there are. We rode on 2 of them and really had a great time. The horses are absolutely beautiful and well trained. The food is good here but if you need a fancier restaurant, Statesville is just a short drive away. Risto's was our favorite.

There has been a water mill in this location for more than 200 years on the bank of the Rocky Creek…read morenear Union Grove just inside Alexander County. The Linneys stone grind corn meal, corn bread mix, grits, and they sell my favorite: buckwheat pancake mix. This is an authenic, operating water mill, and depending on when you visit, you can see the entire process, from the water wheel driven grind stone to the packaging and selling of the finished products. The Linney's campground adjoins the mill with campsites by the creek. Visiting the mill is like stepping way back in time. No credit cards accepted, and no cell phone signal here. These are good people, and this is an authentic experience.

What a find! After a long day of searching for a campground that met our needs, we found it!…read more We are tent campers so finding a place where you are not on top of each other and don't have to hike a mile into the woods isn't easy. There are a few tent areas and ours was 4 spots, however, they could've put in about 20, so yes, they are huge! We were able to sprawl out and have all the space we could ever need. This campground is on 30 acres. It has a pool, bathhouse, beach volleyball, playground, sandbox, 2 pavilions, and a small farm. The farm has a bunny, 2 miniature horses, a full-sized horse, goats, and 2 pigs. The owners live on the property and are very accessible and friendly. We needed wood for our fire and they have it for sale. They even deliver it to your site. The price is right (compared to Walmart or Lowes where the bundles of wood are tiny and burn so quick that you run thru $100 in a night) Our $20 in wood lasted for 1.5 days, which is good since we like fire! The site was super quiet and it was like a little oasis. Where we were was right by the river, so you can hear the babbling, quite peaceful! We had a bunch of trees that kept the campsite cool during the day. There are some tent spots in the middle of the camper areas, but luckily they put us away from everything! There is another tent area that sits across the brook (cute little bridge to get to that side) and I couldn't count how many spots could go into that area, it's wide open! There will be another trip planned!

Jomeokee Campground is one of the most beautiful places I have ever spent the night (and I have…read morecamped throughout the US, Australia, and New Zealand). I drove from my home in Durham, NC, to the Pilot Knob lookout toward Pilot Mountain (a popular place), stayed for the sunset, and then decided to stay for the night. Because I was booking my weekday campsite after dark, I called rather than just booking online. The owner, Tom Pace, told me he could sell me a bunch of good dry wood for $10 and gave me directions to the nearest ATM/store and the campground (wood required cash payment, online site reservation did not). All were easy to find, even in the dark. Tom and his 11YO daughter came down shortly after I arrived, and he set up and lit my campfire for me (!). We talked a bit and then they left me to take in the fire-lit night. I could see the shadow of Pilot Mountain across the field in front of my campsite, but I was unprepared for the majestic view that met me in the morning. It was foggy as I lit my fire, and I sat on the same bench as the night before (the one beside my fire pit) and watched the fog turn into clouds and then disappear completely, revealing the best base view of Pilot Mt I'd seen (I have been there twice). Even the bench I sat on was a reflection of love and spiritual well being - "May All Who Sit Here Be Filled with Love" was carved by hand (probably by pocket knife) into the back of the bench. My eyes welled with tears. I needed this hug from the Universe. The couple beside me (campsites are very well spaced, with ample attention to privacy) gave me a cup of coffee and a packet of pop tarts, so I remained in the campground until nearly 2 o'clock, walking to the nearby pond and across the meadow, wishing I could be on my horse. When I returned to my campsite, I reserved it for another night, which was easy to do because I had better cellphone reception at the campground than I do in my own house. I went to the Pilot Mt visitor's center (a 10-minute drive), then walked the relatively flat 2.5-mile Bean Shoals Access Trail along the creek - the trees were glowing with autumn colors. It was easy to get lunch and ice and groceries and dinner - everything was within a ten-minute drive, and any food I ordered was well prepared, well presented, and tasty. I am returning with my sons soon, because they can do virtual schooling at the campground using our phones as hotspots. I want them to experience the regenerating magic I was privileged to experience at Jomeokee Campground. The campground provides potable running water, electricity, and hot showers, and the bathrooms are large and well kept, as are the grounds. I cannot say enough about this place.

We spent an awesome day (late May 2019) attending the Fiddler's Grove Bluegrass festival. It was…read morean opportunity to witness folk music being passed from generation to generation. This festival is particularly unique in that it celebrates youth performers. We saw so many families armed with fiddles, guitars, dobros, double bases, guitars competing on stages with hundreds of witness there to celebrate their musical gifts. The camp ground has been holding this festival for 95 years and we all should hope they continue to do so for decades longer.

A little super-wholesome and perhaps heavy on the religious tunes for those who are not so inclined, and there is no alcohol served or allowed at this event, but the music was all top-notch. The weekend events include workshops and fiddling competitions in addition to more traditional performances, so check out the schedule on their website beforehand. Wonderful place to while away a few summer hours in the sun while listening to some high-quality down-home country, bluegrass and folk music from bands that resemble today's incarnation of the Carter family, if you can imagine.

The owners are very accommodating and I just can't say enough about what wonderful people they are. They've created a very nice, quiet park surrounded by untouched forest on 3 sides, above a scenic river. A laundry/bathhouse is at one end and it's almost up and running...with more conveniences on the way! Getting inspections, permits and construction completed to open this new park wasn't easy in the midst of the pandemic, but they were committed to their dream; After many frustrating delays, the full hookup campground is now a reality for us all to enjoy. Make plans soon - they're pretty popular already and as we know, the good places book up fast and far in advance! Thank you Kathy and Pat. All RV parks should operate like yours.

It's $1 each to wash and dry and it's on the honor system so you deposit money into a box on the wall. Bathrooms and showers were also super clean. As full-timers, we were quite impressed with this lovely park. It's apparent that the owner takes a lot of pride in this park and manages it well. It's a nice quiet campground perfect for decompressing and getting away for awhile. Owner is on the premises, available and has plans for future improvements. This is truly a gem that we plan to return to in the future.

Was an Understatement. Monday through Thursday was completely Miserable Heat temp related. At night sitting in the Trailer with the AC running full blast, I was Still Sweating my Ars off. Had a really Severe Storm pass through there on Friday evening. Wind, Rain, Hail etc. tree debris was falling all around. We left to take our Grandson to a church we used to go to when we lived down there around 5:30 PM. Evidently just after we left they had power Failure at the Park. We returned a little after 9:00 PM to find the Power out. So we just got ready for bed. I'm so thankful that Friday was a lot Cooler. We left the Windows open creating a cross wind. We got up in the Morning and squared everything away and hooked up. We were on the road by 8:30 & back in Virginia about 11:30. AM. (Scheduled return day). The Power still was not back on. The Host had reported it at 5:46pm. Any way. Kudos to the Park. 5 nights $190 total, $38 a night. Very Clean bath House was clean and cleaned regularly. My only Complaint was there was no AC or Dehumidifier in it. The Had Three RV Host Trailers. So very good Host Coverage. Just Thanks from Us. P. S.

It is located almost across the street from a major grocery store (Harris Teeter),Jersey Mikes etc. The only reason I gave a 4 instead of 5 is because some of the sites are not very level.
