Posted on their Facebook page yesterday:

"Dear Friends of the Campground, as of today the campground will be closed. Another flood has destroyed the bridge, cabins and other buildings. We will update as we have more news. Thank you for all of your support over the years."

We rode by there back in May on our Iron Horse camping trip...that creek is deep but apparently it got about 10' over its bank the past couple of days with all that rain....

That's sad. It must have been the same rain storm I riding in now.

I saw some videos of the flooded area around Canton and it is pretty bad. From what I read, many of the houses on the road near the campground were also damaged.

When it rains on that side of the mountain it really rains. The owner of BRMC back in 2008 told me that it sometimes only rained on top of him.
