Bungalow 4

Have you ever heard of Camp Golden Valley in Bostic, NC?  It was built originally as a girl scout camp but after sitting empty for quite some time, Jellystone park bought it and turned it into Jellystone's Camp Golden Valley campground.  I was actually a girl scout camp counselor there for a summer when I was 18.  I have the fondest memories of my time spent there.  I've always thought it would be so cool to be able to take my family there and show them where I spent a summer doing all things camp related but figured it would never happen after it closed.  I was ecstatic when I saw an advertisement for the new camp last spring.  I knew I just had to make a reservation.  We went for a weekend in July and it was everything I hoped it would be and more!

 There are still the original cabins, canvas tents and treehouses but they have been updated with AC and electricity.  They even have a coffee maker and TV.  Some cabins have indoor bathrooms but we stayed in a mountain view treehouse with a detached private bathroom.  It was the best of both worlds.

Each camping spot has its own fire ring and charcoal grill.  Plus an outdoor fridge with sink and 2 burners.






Some of the new enhancements added since Jellystone bought the camp are a jump pad, playground, pool with kids splash zone, tavern and camp store. You can swim, canoe, paddle board, play mini golf or participate in arts and crafts.  I didn't want to leave.  I felt like I had my family with me at summer camp.













The camp is over 600 acres so I highly suggest renting a golf cart.  

I fell in love all over again and already have another trip booked next month.
