This was our third stop here. This time we picked site 67, where we got a little sun and found a hole through the trees for the satellite dish.

Site 66, shown here during our Apr 2006 visit, is one of the more open sites, offering a fairly clear view for our satellite dish. |
In November 2007 we stopped at Kings Mt a second time, on our way south via the GA mountains. With the fall foliage still on the trees, the campground looked a lot different. This time we were on site 108. |

This is
the brand-new bathhouse in the south loop of the CG, heated and offering clean hot showers. There are three
older bathhouses in the north loop. |
There is a small laundry facility. |

Anyone for horseshoes? |

This is
the camp store, apparently open only when the park is busy (which

A dam built
by the CCC in the 1930's creates this small lake. Paddle boats and
canoes are available for rent in the summer. |
The dam is rather interesting, built of stone blocks which provide a gentle cascade of water. |

This is
the main building built by the CCC. It's located on the shore of the
lake. |

At least
one of the pavilons would be a great place for a party on the cooler
day - check out that fireplace! |
The scenery near the dam and lake was much more colorful during our fall 2007 visit. |

Another fall view of the lake. |

The beavers have been busy gnawing on this large tree by the lake shore. |
