We are located in the WNC mountains, and while the elevation does not surpass 2,000 ft, the roads are tight and windy at some points. If you tend to get car-sick, you may want to take precautions ahead of time.
There are plenty of signs nearby to help you easily navigate to the campground entrance. Please DO NOT continue past the campground, as you will be entering private residences and a dead end, steep road.
