I genuinely will make it a point to come in person instead of ordering because the staff here is always pleasant which is a nice change from every other quick dining place. Thank you for...

The Palmer
Apartment complex
😐 Finished my 1 year here, only recommended if you want modern interior and clean neighborhood. I moved because of space. I found a place exact same rent for 2bedroom instead of 1bedroom price at the palmer. Plus you get charged for paint replacement (like normal wear/tare) here and light bulbs aren’...

Rudds Creek Campground
Campground
😠 Stayed at Kerr Lake 1 other time but at a different campsite.
We camped with our 3 dogs and ended up rushing one of them to ER 1.5hours away. They are supposed to clean the campsite after checking out but it was pretty clear, they didn't clean up one item. There were so many fully intact cat fish s...

Copperhead Island Boat Launch
Boat ramp
🫤 Be careful visiting here. We stopped for about 30 minutes to check out the walk-in camp sites on a holiday weekend. It was very busy between people fishing, walking and boating. The area is nice, but we came back to a broken car window and stolen items. Apparently this happens fairly regularly h...
