We recently stayed at Don Carter, but we stayed with some friends in one of the cabins. Is everything, perfect? No. Each cabin has an outdoor fire ring and picnic table - located in the silliest place possible. However, the back deck on the cabin was sweet! The trails are great. We drove through campground, and I have to admit that whoever laid it out had no idea how to lay out a campground. But I have seen worse. Far worse.
We stayed in there just a few days after it opened - which was in July. We were coming home from another trip and decided to extend our vacation a few more days by going there. BIG MISTAKE. NO trees or shade in the campground. Never got below 83 in our 5er until after 5 p.m.! We live 5 minutes from there. We have gone back several times just to walk the trails. They are expanding them and if you are into hiking around and nature watching, that works well. Lots of critters to see and they have a nature observation tower. Go up into there and remain quiet for a bit and you get to see all sorts of critters (2 legged and 4 legged)
