This was a grade C campground. Wildcat Mountain is so named because the locals killed a wildcat…read morethere many years ago. The campsite we stayed in, #8, was directly across from the Park Office and was not secluded at all. We did see some other campsites that were secluded, but they all seem pretty close together, so if you're looking for privacy, search elsewhere. But the place was neat and clean, and the toilets were not bad at all. Not many bugs in June, in the toilets, and the toilets did not smell bad. The good thing about camping across from the Park Office is you get to use their beautiful facilities when they are open. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Just by sheer happenstance we heard on the radio that Natural Bridge State Park was in the area and it sounded cool, so we drove over there to see it and it's so beautiful! The Overlook Point here at Wildcat is also very beautiful and easy to get to. We walked most of the Starlight trail, until it got overgrown, but it was nice and level and an easy hike. The Amphitheater...whoa. This was definitely the most rustic one I've ever seen so far. And I can't imagine one that would be more rustic than this one. It's not bad, it's just small, the seats tip forward, the stage is barely a stage, I don't see how they can possibly hold productions on it, but what do I know? I'm not in the theater--I'm sure they make it work somehow. It's very intimate and cozy, let's put it that way. We came across a gigantic moth at the base of a tree and it turned out to be a Luna Moth, which after it emerges from its cocoon doesn't have mouth parts, so it can't eat! It lives a week to breed, and then dies! All in all, it's not worth a very far drive, but if you're in the general area and want to camp, it's OK. At least it was not noisy at night. Some really nice campgrounds have lots of nice features but are super loud in the evening. This one was quiet, and you could see tons of stars.

(We were not quick enough on the draw). But the campgrounds by the entrance look very nice. In 2020 it's all Do It Yourself parking passes and camp check-in. We enjoyed the lookout stop, complete with a "selfie station" to put your phone. We also did a nice, but mildly rigorous hike of the Old Settler's Trail. The 2.5 mile trail has some steep stairs and elevation changes (don't wear your fashionable high heeled boots like we saw an older lady struggling down the stairs with). Would love to see the trail marked a little better- markings seem to date back a few decades, and we got lost on a switchback. (Note: the nicer looking Hemlock Trail was closed off June 2020 due to erosion or weather.) We loved the hike and the park, and it was nice to have access to clean bathrooms. Sitting at a picnic table enjoying lunch, there was an incredible amount of great bird watching! And yes, a drive or cycle through this park is incredible.

The kids (adult kids) had a great time fishing and we caught a ton of fish. I called a few days before the trip and the very nice lady answered all our questions. The new owner was very accommodating and hands on. He was the guy adding oil to the engines and fueling the boat. Gotta love a hands in owner. Only suggestion is to bring more food and beverages and worms than you think. There isn't any place to stop and pick up needed items. If you have a small fishing boat, bring it! You can catch fish from a houseboat, but it is limited. Bring a Bluetooth speaker. There is a sound system but radio only. You should do this!

Titanic is THE BEST canoe, kayak, and tubing service in the area. We camped at Wildcat Mountain and…read morecouldn't have asked for any better service than what Titanic gave us. We were picked up by the Chris and the pooch in a big blue bus, the Titanic mega shuttle I'll call it. We were brought down to the main area of Titanic where our adventure really began. After checking in with Julie and blowing up the tubes we were off to launch! 7 and a half hours later, tubing success. We walked and lazily floated down all the way to the Wildcat canoe launch where we were greeted by our driver who picked us up and helped load us up and get us back to our camping stay. We were all very thankful for our service which was truly on point. Titanic didn't skip a beat and they were so very helpful from start to finish. Couldn't ask for much more.

I gave my full first and last name "We'll just put it under (last name), as we get a lot of Kyles" (Quizzical silence on my end, since I gave my first and last name, which is not at all a common combination lol) We wanted to do the shortest trip to the Park Landing, but staff said we had to pick an exact time to be picked up at that Landing. (It was our first time there what would we know about an exact trip time?). All that aside, I made it easy on all of us and chose pickup at Bridge 5, and pickup there around the 3 hour mark was easy breezy. We really enjoyed our river trip! The River was pretty shallow in some places, and it was fun weaving through the Lazy River Inner Tube crowds. There's a lot of river between Bridge 4 and 5, everyone was wondering if they had missed it Bridge 5. Do set aside some time to beach up and drink up! Drifty's for the win!

We've had nothing but positive experiences with them. You launch into the river right there, and they pick you up wherever you choose to take out (pre-arranged location). They're prompt with pickup and even offer to give you extra time if you want to go slower on the river. The last time we went they were out of seat backs, and one of the staff members let me use his personal one! Now *that* is great service! Most of the traffic on the river seems to be between Drifty's and Wildcat Mountain. The river gets pretty busy on the weekends. Beyond Bridge 5 the traffic seems to really die down and you can experience some peace and quiet.
