Nice place to stay!

We stayed in the lower section along the Doe River (more like a creek through the camping section of the park) in a nice flat site #50.  All sites in the lower section along the river are well spaced, and during our mid-week visit it was quiet.  Easy walk to the clean and modern restrooms.  Sites are well maintained and flat on the lower section.  Would not recommend the upper section, as it was very hilly and didn't see any flat sites.  Sites 40, 41, 44, 46, 48, 50 and 52 are paved; sites 37-39 are gravel.  Park rangers were courteous and provided good local knowledge for anglers.   Took a ride to Carvers Gap (en route to Roan Mtn).  Road to Roan Mtn (summit) was closed until after Memorial Day, but hiked the northbound section of the AT for 360 degree views.  Took a ride to Elk River Falls, about 10 minute car ride from park, and took the easy and short trail to the falls.   Easy ride into town of Newland for a taste of civilization.  Would return…nice place to camp.
