We enjoyed our stay here. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed here for four days with two teens. Our experience was excellent and we plan on returning next year. Our site, located on the lake, had its own dock. The view of the lake was serene, no matter what time of day, because there is forest on the opposite side of the lake. We rented a canoe from the office and enjoyed the peace and quiet on the lake. Because the campground is centrally located between Dupont State Forest and the Pisgah National Forest, hiking trails and popular waterfalls were within easy driving distance. Our only major complaint was that the lack of a cell phone signal or internet access made it difficult to contact people at home. We did notice staff driving around on golf carts; however, they were friendly and we did not feel that we were being monitored in any way. In fact, one night they were checking on some people who had rented a canoe because they hadn't yet returned it, and they were worried that something may have happened to them.

Cascade Lake campground has been around a long time from age of the buildings. The bath houses are small; only one shower, but they are kept mostly clean. Some of the sites and streets getting to them are tight. You do have a choice of sunny sites or lots of shade. A lot of the sites would handle big rigs but the lake front sites are the best. The swimming area is one of the nicest we have seen in a while. Nice sandy beach that looked like it was resurfaced with a tractor on a regular basis. It also had a small concession stand. One negative with the swimming area for folks who can't swim or have smaller children; the bottom drops off really fast. It had rained a good bit so it was not dusty but the streets in the campground are dirt and gravel so dust could be a problem if a dry period came. A small problem for some is that no cell phone service exists at the campground and for about three miles around it. the big negative for us was the overzealous camp host. They were at times very un-helpful, as well as rude even when they were off duty. We gave one of them the name "Barney" because he was on patrol and acted just like Barney Fife on The Andy Griffith Show. We really liked the campground and would definitely stay here again.
