There's nothing quite like falling asleep -- or waking up -- to the sound of water rolling over the rocks. It's the kind of peaceful you can't bottle. I'll be honest, I'm disheartened to hear the owners have sold. They poured so much heart into this place, and it shows in every detail. I can only hope the new owners carry that same love forward and keep the spirit of this campground alive. Tom and Missy have been wonderful hosts -- warm, welcoming, and always ready to help. They've made every stay feel like coming home. Still one of my favorite places to be, and I'm looking forward to seeing what the next chapter brings.

Pics are all misleading and your river view is ok if you don't look across and see the litter of shacks on the other side. Although when neighboring site is shouting obscenities at each other as they pour out their pee bucket - guess they didn't like the bathrooms either - maybe looking at the scores of people on the other side is preferable. Loud, inconsiderate, and misleading. Definitely do not recommend to anyone. What a great waste of money and terrible experience for the family.

You have a couple of options to start where the camp ground is and go down to the end or go to the starting point up river . We took a bus up to the starting point and the gentle man already had our tubes loaded for us. Along the way we down we stopped at numerous sand beaches/ ropw swings on the river . When we got to the mid point of where the camp ground is, we stopped to eat and then finished the river. We tubed 2x during our trip because we loved it so much. Also if you have neck issues ask for the green tubes they definitely are super comfy. Also if you aren't an experience swimmer get a life jacket . Depending on rain the river can run fast or slow and certain parts it's deep and than some are shallow . But if you have questions they definitely answer them truthfully They accept cash,card, and have clean bathrooms . This place is a true family operated business. I definitely recommend this place

This campground is nestled in a forest in Travelers Rest SC. When you enter you might be…read moresurprised, because all of the sites are on the right side backed by a lovely stream. We had a wonderful spot with a cement area which had a picnic table and a fire pit. The longer I stayed the more I appreciated the beautiful trees and foliage. Some were so old and wide and all were very tall. At the end of the campground are six covered wagons that you can sleep in. They have their own pretty area and bathhouse. At the top of the little hill is the pool, laundry room and an open social area. They have ping pong, games and places to sit. We already plan to come back for Thanksgiving! I am very excited to spend the holiday at the beautiful KOA at Travelers Rest.

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 :)

What started as a stressful evening turned into one of the best campground experiences we've had…read more After arriving at another campground on Sunday and discovering it wasn't what we had been led to expect, we left and started searching for another place to stay. It was already late in the evening when we found Pine Ridge Campground on Google Maps and decided to take a chance. When we arrived, the office was already closed. A maintenance employee noticed us pulling in, stopped what he was doing, and took the time to hear our situation. He immediately contacted the property manager, and despite being off duty, she came to the campground, opened the office, found us a site, got us checked in, and made sure we were taken care of. The maintenance employee even had a golf cart ready for us to rent so we could get settled in quickly. That level of customer service is rare these days and made a lasting impression on us. We've now been here for three days, and everything about this campground has been outstanding. The grounds are exceptionally clean and well maintained, the facilities are spotless, and it's obvious the staff takes great pride in the property. Everyone we've encountered has been friendly, professional, and willing to help. The pool is excellent, the campground is peaceful and well kept, and the golf cart rentals are very reasonably priced. Most importantly, the entire staff genuinely seems to care about their guests and goes above and beyond to make sure everyone has a great experience. Whether you're looking for a long-term stay or just passing through for a few nights, I highly recommend Pine Ridge Campground. We will absolutely stay here again the next time we're in the area.

This time our rig was tail light and due to the slight incline of the site made for rain water to flow we had a hard time leveling the front so I went back to the office to request a different site and explained that the reason was our rig and not the site itself to which the owners obliged with a smile, not only that but he offered me his wooden blocks that in the end were the perfect solution. There is an stigma about permanent people but we found that us being friendly, waving and smiling to all they all are friendly and respond well, on the contrary the only indifferent person was a temporary young lady that when greeted twice looked the other way but you can't expect everyone to be in a good mood all the time. Quiet place, close to Forest City where we went to church on Sunday and also very close to Lake Lure to check the touristy attractions that lure ( pun intended ) people in. Don't know about bathhouse because we never use since our rig is self contained Will comeback to vacay and explore the region

The RV sites are gravel but have a concrete pad with a picnic table and sitting area. We came at the end of July and thought the bugs would be bad being right here on the water, but that was not the case. I only gave 4 stars because the owners could be a bit more friendly, and the camp store and facilities are a bit run down. Otherwise, a nice place to stay.
