About this property

Camp Run-A-Muk - A Great Family Vacation

Lake Front * Hot Tub * Rec Room * Fire Pit * Dock*

This spacious lake front home will be the ideal place for family and friends to enjoy “time away from home.” Formerly a fishing and hunting camp, Camp Run-A-Muk is nestled on a large private lot with 400' of lakefront and is full of fun! Relax on the lakefront deck, splash in the lake, hide away on the covered deck with a good book, nap in the hammock, fish off the dock or soak in the 7-person hot tub enjoying the view. Multiple Master ensuite bedrooms (3) provide for privacy and convenience. The sunroom’s wall of windows allows for excellent views of the lake and Carolina blue skies! Dual fully equipped kitchens ensure plenty of room for large family meals. Well equipped with many extras, it’s everything you need to experience the best vacation ever. Just come with the wonderful memories of heading to a summer camp and leave with new memories to cherish forever.

Wonderful place for family
Beautiful lakefront property, with such fun amenities. It was the perfect place to stay for our extended family - plenty of places to gather, plus plenty of spots to "retreat" when we needed a little quiet time. The owners could not have been more friendly and helpful.

End of Summer Family fun
Our family really enjoyed Camp Run a Muk. The 2 kitchens had everything we could possibly need. there was a slight glitch with a bedroom but plenty of room to spread out for what we needed. The dock was very nice for our son’s boat and plenty of space for us there as well. Loved the hot tub after dinner and got to see the fireworks from Crawdads stadium on Sunday night. Hope we get to come back!!

Great place for a large group with children
We really enjoyed our stay. The location on the lake is really beautiful. The home was a really good size for our large group. There was plenty of room to spread out & not feel like we were tripping over each other. The instructions from the owner for arrival were accurate & easy to follow. The home could use a really good cleaning. It did not seem as it had been cleaned very well after the last guests. The dishwasher was loaded with dirty dishes & we thought it had not been run so we ran it. The dishes still did not get clean so we unloaded & hand washed the dishes. It does not appear the dishwasher works properly. Overall a very good experience, just needs some cleaning & updating. I would recommend this property as it was such a fun place to stay. Wish it had been warmer so we could have gotten out on the water, but the morning view made up for that.

Wonderful place for a family vacation!
Camp Run-A-Muk was a blast for our family who is active and loves to play games. We were constantly having fun, from playing ping pong tournaments, to kayaking, to card playing and even getting in some reading. The house is very large and accommodated everyone very comfortably. We were also close to a few parks for additional hiking and biking. I would say that the kitchen could use some updating of appliances. But overall, we had a great time.
