Buck Creek

Peaceful, calm, excellent folks, and very relaxing. I camped here for more than two weeks in August. Site #4, site 19, and site #47. The campground is clean, quiet, and well-maintained. The owners and staff were great and super helpful. Site #4 is on the creek. It was short for my 32-foot RV but manageable. It had full hookups. Site #4 was level and semi-shaded. The WiFi signal was great, and speeds were reasonable. I used the bathhouse showers and laundry. Both were clean. I moved to site 19, which is not on the creek but on the edge of the field. It was very level as well, and all hookups worked fine. The WiFi at site 19 was considerably worse, but the sky was clear, and I could fully use my Starlink service. The central field area is mowed and set up as an RC flying field. A few campers flew their model airplanes. It was fun to watch. I even jumped into the RC hobby, buying a trainer plane at a local Hobby Shop, and began flying. I moved to site 47, which was the best of all three. It’s a good-sized site right on the creek and just up from swimming hole#2. There were two swimming holes along the creek, which were a ton of fun. I swam in both. The water is very clear and refreshing. The campground is close to the Blue Ridge Parkway(about 10 miles). I rode my motorcycle up Route 80 to the Blue Ridge. Route 80 is a great winding road. The campground is very close to downtown Marion and some shops, groceries, and restaurants. Overall, this is a great campground with a great staff, location, and is very relaxing.

This is a family owned friendly campground just minutes from everything in Asheville. We stayed here and drove to the Blue Ridge parkway on day drives. One side is your camp spots next to the creek. The other side is a beautiful wide open green space. The store has all your essentials!

We spent one night here (May 23, 2022). We set up in a down pour, the office attendant offered to help with umbrellas and 2-way radios, nice guy! This is a very nice, easy access CG with level pull through(a few) and back-in gravel sites (many are backed up to the Buck Creek, it’s beautiful). There are a number of activities available: swimming, fishing, biking, hiking/walking and an RC flying field. We did not make use of the bathrooms or showers. The laundry room was clean. It is a great base camp to visit the area. The WiFi was great as was cell phone reception (we did not try the cable TV). We would definitely stay here again.

This is our first trip here, and we would camp here again. The campsites are a bit close to each other, but they are well maintained. There is only one bathhouse so if you are not close to it you will walk further to get to it, but it is clean and well maintained as well.

Awesome staff. RIP 💎 back Dan. Just a few miles from the Bluegrass Parkway & Little Switzerland. Great motorcycle roads & home of The Diamond back ride.

We stayed here August 16-19 in our 39ft motorhome and toad. Buck Creek has easy access and nice campsites. The property is well kept. The owner was very hospitable.
It was convenient to visit Linville Falls and Mount Mitchell.

Great place, super clean. We’ll definitely be going back anytime we’re in the area. About 45 minutes from downtown Asheville NC.. Lots of great places to visit near by. Full hook ups.

Tight spot but by the creek. Site couldn’t get any better! Swimming, tubing, fishing available. Shaded and perfect for our pop up, but lots of larger rigs there as well.
