Now open 7 days a week all year!
(weather permitting, icy or snowy roads may be hazardous)
We now have a heated pavilion so our miners have a place to warm up while it is cold outside. Not fancy, but modest!
If primitive camping is too rugged for you and you would like something a little more like home close to our mine, Carolina Mountain Top Homes off of Ray Creek Road, the road before the last bridge, has cabin rentals available.

A successful half year of mining under the new management. Pleased that so many found some treasures and are planning to come back in the New Year. There will be some changes in pricing however, but the same service to the customer will not deteriorate; that must remain a top priority.
