Stayed here in October 2012 and it was amazing! Very friendly staff and very clean campground. Canoe rentals are available and Hooker Falls is only a 20 minute paddle upstream from the campground. Cascade Lake is so pretty at sunrise and sunset! Perfect tent/RV sites with full hookups available. Family oriented with a huge swimming lake/beach area with playgrounds and... More

I want to say we do plan on going back. It is a nice campground; our site was NOT that great though. We had several problems that were more a management issue I think. I had made TWO reservations. When we got there they had one. After about 15 minutes in the office they figured out somehow one of them... More

After years of effort, I finally convinced my husband to give camping a reboot - our first camping trip was a horrendous failure. I researched forever and found Cascade Lake, and it was PERFECT! The campground has been in operation since 1962, but it doesn't feel tired or run-down. It has been excellently maintained and operated. The campground partners with... More

We take our four kids (13, 13, 12 & 8) to cascade lake campground every year. We've never stayed at the same site twice & we are always pleased with every one we have had so far. This time we stayed at D2 for $25 a night (water & electric). We could see the swimming lake ( my kids favorite... More

This is the best campground we have ever been to. The host are friendly and the water sites are great. Last year we stayed at site E15 which was large and right on the water, mornings were beautiful. We are returning this weekend for another 5 day stay. We can't wait!!!

This was my favourite campground on our 3 week camping trip last summer. The staff were extremely friendly, the sites were big, and the best part was the swimming at the private beach. The free wi-fi at reception was appreciated too. The had activites for the kids every day near the beach. When we said we might be getting back... More

Looking for a place to set up camp with the family we punched in camp grounds into the GPS and fortunately for us Cascade Lake Rec area was the closest stop. From the moment we pulled up (in the rain) and we're greeted at the gate by a kind gentleman who offered to give us a tour of available sites... More

We stayed at 4 different campgrounds on vacation this year and this one was the nicest. We stayed at campsite L1 which is a great pull thru spot right on the water. We had neighbors on either side of us but you wouldn't know they were there because you can't see or hear them because of the trees. This campground... More

This is a beautiful campground! The campground is surrounded by mountains, with fog most mornings. Make sure to visit the Pisgah National Forest while you are there for hiking and views of waterfalls and take a trip on the Parkway, which you can get to from the Forest. We found it to be a little foggy in the morning but... More

This is a great campground. Very pretty and close to many waterfalls. The sites are a good size. There is a nice lake with a swimming beach and another for fishing. You can rent paddle boats and canoes. I agree with the other reviewer that if you like security, this is the place for you. They are very serious about... More
