We stopped for a few days on our way down to Myrtle Beach. When we weigh pro’s and con’s, we would definitely stay again.

There are many standard fare activities for the kids, including a small, but stocked pond, mini golf (course was relatively basic, but in good shape), horseshoe pits and a nice sized playground and pool (both of these were closed due to COVID).

But what makes the campground more unique is the river tubing. Located in the center of a u-turn spot of the river, campers can enter at one end of the campground and tube to the other end (25-45 minutes depending on speed of the river.

One other difference is the large rabbits that roam the campground. Our youngest really enjoyed following them around and feeding them.

We stayed during the week and the campground was only about 20% to capacity. Sites weren’t overly large and I don’t know what it looks like at capacity.

The most challenging issue with the campground is the available WiFi and weak cell service. We are Verizon phone users and my truck’s WiFi is from AT&T. We had very weak signals from both and couldn’t get in the WiFi at all. If you need WiFi, be sure to tell them when making a reservation. They said the sites closest to the store get some reception.

One other challenge is the website itself. Very outdated and challenging to navigate. They could definitely upgrade it.

Our family had a great time, even with connectivity challenges.

We kicked off the COVID season at Mountain Springs. We were fortunate to get one of the larger, shaded spots near the top of the campground. There were many seasonal canoersin the shaded sites.

Our site was spacious and we enjoyed the time with friends next to us.

There is a nice, larger pond onsite and the family spent an afternoon fishing. There was also a newer dog park that was spacious for our dog to exercise.

We didn’t really look or try to connect for WiFi, but had strong cell service.

The campground has a pool and playground, as well as a nice RC racetrack. Unfortunately all were closed due to COVID.
