Spacious Skies Hidden Creek

Arrived early evening. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Place was fairly full but organized and efficient. Pool and waterslide are a bonus but also attract families and kids. Site needed some leveling but spacious. Facilities were clean and easily available. Would return for sure.

This campground was highly recommended to us by several people so we decided to check it out since it’s only an hour a way from our house and my husband liked the other Spacious Skies campground we stayed at.

It was a rough group of campers. One dad called his young daughter the b-word in the pool in front of the kids and later on the slide, when my 7 year old came down he asked me what a “m-fer” was. A grown man was throwing it around on the slide.

The slide was a major attraction for my kids, but there was zero supervision. Kids would come down in groups of five and six and no one was paying attention to whether the bottom was cleared. We tried to divert our kids to the pool as often as possible.

The actual campsite was fine. A bit steep (it was cut into a hill)and a pretty far from the “amenities.” There was a mix of cabins, tents and campers. We had to walk through a kind of marshy trail that definitely needed some work to go past the arcade to get to the main area of the campground.

The camp store was nice and the staff was pleasant - they had some activities planned that we didn’t end up doing but it’s nice to know they were there as a Plan B. My kids loved the fishing lake - they caught (and released) a bunch of fish and there were kayaks and peddle boats that could be used for free.

I peaked into the bathhouse and laundry and they looked fine - nothing fancy but serviceable.

I did talk to the front desk about the other campers and she was nice. Ultimately, from what I heard in the pool sounds like they were regulars. I liked all the amenities even if I didn’t love the campsite, but I don’t necessarily want to spend the entire weekend listening to f-bombs.

Just stayed here over the weekend. I don’t recommend it at all. Pool was slimy campsites were overgrown and junked up full time campsites throughout. Water slide is unsupervised chaos just a terrible experience. Stayed here a lot last year and it was great more like a cheap trailer park now. We seen people openly carrying a case of beer to the pool at 10:00am don’t waste your money. That pic is our neighboring site

Hidden Creek not only has a nice creek running through the campground within 20 feet of my site, but also the  nature trail is off the beaten path from the very active campground along a small river. I had problems with noisy neighbors, but not the fault of the campground staff who dealt with it as best they could. Nice private showers and lots of play equipment for the kids.

We got here after close and the site we rented already had someone there. A full time resident. Because we are in the full time resident section. “The Overlook”. A nice neighbor that noticed we were looking confused took us to the maintenance man, thank God, because no one was answering the phone for the emergency line. The maintenance man Travis is awesome. He’s two of our three stars. He put us where he could but the site still left a lot to be desired. Red clay everywhere. Trash everywhere. No shade and although most of the people here are very nice there are a few very sketchy full time residents as well. The kids can’t play outside without me let’s say. The rest of the park looks way better than this part, I would say just don’t stay in the overlook section and you may love it. You would think we would have been offered some money off or something for our troubles but the park is run by teenagers so nope. Nothing. 👀 Good luck!

Lots of sites, some shaded some not. Activities for the entire family to enjoy. They have a small cafe that’s is seasonal. Beautiful scenery. Limited on golf cart rentals so bring your own if you can. Do however have to pay extra for water slides and paddle boats.

Halloween is awesome here, plan on a solid week here to see things in the area. Gem mines, waterfalls, brewery and shopping in nearby Asheville. There is plenty to do year round, make sure to buy a family pass for games etc. they really cater to family oriented fun. The tent sights high up require a 4x4 and we watched the creek flood and wash a bunch of the lower sights out. Brings warm clothes as we encountered frosty evenings and rainy days- you are in the foothills! Tent sights on bottom of hill can be raging rivers from the streams over flow. Cabins look amazing and there are always activities. Emerald village is great and there is a trout farm you can visit and catch dinner guaranteed!

Let me start out by saying we stayed in a cabin, for a week. The place is in serious need of an upgrade but as it stands is still fun for the kids. The water slide costs 15.00 per day or you can do a family plan. The cabin itself was decent but nothing has been done to it in a while. The oven didn’t work, the wall ac’s barely worked and had large gaps where they didn’t care during install. Half the curtains were missing so it made it even hotter inside.

The staff was extremely nice and accommodating. Especially in the cafe try the everything ice cream

The pool area and pool itself could use some tlc but as I said before my kids loved it.

I would return with our pup and not stay in a cabin again. 6/10

pet friendly

We had a good time here this past weekend. The staff is really friendly however I thought the price was on the high side when the pool hasn’t opened yet. Make sure you bring leveling blocks. Also if you want to do the water activities and water slide that is extra and you will need to purchase an arm band.

We were so excited to spend a week here based on the website. Not sure when those photos were take but the place is seriously run down. I have never seen potholes so big! The sites at “The Overlook” have a good view but there is zero grass and anything outside of where you park is red mud. I hope they spend some money to restore the campground to beauty.

Great little spot for a family get away. We came in late after leaving another place down the road that was just awful. They waited until we arrived even though it was after the office closed.

They have a lot of little activities during the day and even for the family. We would stay here again, I just wish it was a little cheaper ($57 a night full hook ups)and it would be nice if cell phone service was better as there is pretty much one bar everywhere you go in the camp ground for Verizon.

Well, 

The site that we stayed on was great. Very close to the lake. The lake was fantastic! Lots of good fishing for the kids. There was a nice playground too. The pool was so nice and a life saver because it was pretty warm during the day. 

The bad part about this place was the bathrooms. They were very dirty and there were only 2 bathhouses for dozens and dozens of sites. The shower was awful as it was very moldy and creepy. Overall, I wouldn’t return because of the bathroom situation. However, I believe the new owners just took over when we stayed so since then they may have remedied the bathroom situation.

Has a water slide and pool.

Best family campground ever.We loved the canoes and waterslide

We stayed for five days in June. Just be aware that there is no tv reception (not one channel) and cell reception is nonexistent due to being in a valley. They are however in the process of installing cable. It was not completed when we were there. The pool and water slide were open but you have to pay extra for the water slide. The "lake" they say you can fish in was muddy brown and disgusting looking. It was just ok for us.
