Tip: Plan an early lunch (11am) or evening meal (5pm) for no waiting!

To save you time and to help you get the most out of your visit, we have made this list of local favorites/frequently requested places of interest that our campers and families enjoy. If you have a special interest that is not on this list, please ask our camp host for more information.

• We hope you enjoy Hendersonville’s small town flair! Many of our campers prefer downtown Hendersonville because it’s fun and compact; it has gardens, outdoor dining, unique shops, places to dine and plenty to do.
