Great campsite at the River section of Pilot Mountain. Went with 10 kids and 8 adults and the camping was besides the river with a large mowed field and several grills nearby. Pilot mountain was a lot of fun to hike and climb.

Bring your lunch in a backpack and take to the trails. Great views, nice trails, and a picnic area, too. Trail map indicates easy to difficult trails and trails are well marked. We took our daughter and son-in-law for a hike and picnic and had a wonderful day!

Great views and limited hiking trails so not a whole lot to do. great to run up on a motorcycle and just take in the scenery, especially in the fall.

We love to come there and go hiking with friends..The view is so nice that it's not so high that you can appreciate the view at the farm. Very relaxing place.
