After reading the reviews and seeing all the fuss about the host named Bobby, we were nervous with having three large active dogs. My sisters and I got three sites in a row for a family camping weekend. The property is nicely maintained and we were right on the water with our own “beach” to use, which was good as the beach area was closed for the season. After being there 30 minutes, our kayak strap got hung on the water spigot and busted the pipe down inside the ground. Host Bobby was amazing!! Although it couldn’t be fixed until the next day, he got out there quick and handled it. The bath houses were maintained, had hot water and thankfully not far from our site. I was worried about ants also but took a can of ant spray, kept the trash and food up and had no issues. There are no hiking trails at Old Salem but Rock Hawk was close by and the drive was not far at all. (15 -20 minutes) My son and I saw a bald eagle and a blue herring while kayaking by the boat dock in the cove! We will definitely be back! Couldn’t have been happier with our weekend and our gracious host Bobby!! This was a nice quiet, relaxing camp ground.

We had a good stay. We were on the lake with a nice breeze most of the day. We DID NOT have an ant problem, and talking to other campers they DID NOT have a problem either. The bath house was kept clean, and every morning the staff was out …

We went to Old Salem for the 4th of July, it was a hot one! We usually really enjoy this campground. This time the ants were absolutely horrible! We sprayed around the camper, even sprayed around the truck…we had ants everywhere! They got into the camper, they got in the truck & when I say they got in the camper & truck….they were everywhere. Trails of them little demons!!! They were so bad that we came home a day early! Was no fun fighting the ants!!! I don’t understand why they can’t spray or do something to help the campers out with these ants!!! We also had a water problem, but the camp host was spot on on that!!!

Had a great 2 night stay here. Camping spot we used had an amazing view of the lake. Only giving 4 stars bc all laundry facilities were out of order as well as the bigger playground closed for construction. Great family friendly campgrounds with amazing views.

This campground is great. Been coming here since I was eight and I’m 30 now with my own family. It’s nice and isolated but still close enough to the bougie Publix incase you forget something.

My family and I live really close by to Old Salem so we visit frequently for nice weekend getaways. This past trip we took there started out to be our worst experience yet. We stayed in site 61 and my parents stayed on site 60. A different family came in on Friday and took sites 57, 59, 63, 62 and a couple in a different area. On Friday night, that same family stayed up past 2am running up and down the street, hollering, smoking pot, drinking and all out partying even though quiet hours start at 10pm. They even had a work spot light on a stand pointed straight into my parents tent keeping them up over half the night. Then the next morning one of the women tried to have words with my wife and get an attitude with her. After walking up to the gate and speaking with the couple who work there we were told that we could move to a different site and they allowed us to leave the next day well after check out time because we lost time having to pack and unpack to move. We were then told that since we had to deal with such people while trying to relax we would be given a free weekend stay. Once the workers were made aware of the situation, they had local PD often patrolling the area and they themselves rode by those sites to make sure those people weren’t disturbing anyone else during their stay. This campground is by far our favorite place to visit for an easy getaway and the two couples that work there couldn’t be nicer and more helpful. Even though we had a rough night during one trip, we will continue to go there and look forward to many more great weekend camping trips at Old Salem.

ANTS GALORE We have treated inside/outside x2 plus and it has knocked them down, but they are so many they just keep coming back. Also, wakes me up at least 5 times a night with ants on me. And we are inside an R.V.! We are using containers with lids for foods, they are still inside cabinets etc. You would think they would be able to treat for this issue. We have spent money on 3 didn't products. This campground has washers/dryers at no cost, love the beach area, and they have nice docks for camper's boats. The staff are super kind. But ants have definitely overtaken. Which if you can't be comfortable will make no difference. Hopefully the park mgmt will be able to do something which works. I will only return fwd if they do!

This is a great campground. The people are all friendly. Both camp hosts were awesome and very friendly! We came during the change of hosts. We appreciate the wonderful hospitality and helpfulness of both hosts! We appreciate them enforcing rules and keeping the campground nice, clean and respectable.
