Heartstone tent site at Mountain Creek Rest is a stunningly beautiful, romantic, and very, very private campsite. You won't want to leave, but if you do there are many recreational opportunities in the area such as hiking, biking, rafting, fishing, and more! Enjoy the fresh, much, much cooler mountain air, and the beautiful, private setting! It is perfect for 2, but 2 additional guests are an available option! Heartstone is located on a gently pitched, terraced slope where a divided mountain stream, the tumbling Squally Creek rejoins itself! The sun light filters down through the forest canopy providing a warm, inviting glow!! There is a 9'-6" x 10' tent platform, a picnic table, charcoal grille, and comfort facility all within 30' of your private parking! There is also a nice fire pit area with benches overlooking the fire pit and creek ! Explore upstream on the 500' island trail, or go down stream 75' to a nice pool for dipping!

Bring friends!! There is also a large tent pad available on site for extra guests!

!!!Heartstone is a "Leave No Trace" site! Please be sure to leave it as clean or cleaner than you found it! The next guest will love you! Thanks!

The Best Camping Near Robbinsville, North Carolina

So, while I believe whole heartedly in the title, I must also disclose that I am the owner of Mountain Creek Rest, and that I rented my own tent site to be sure that The Dyrt's rental platform would perform properly for future guests!

With that said It is true that the Heartstone tent site at Mountain Creek Rest is secluded, romantic, and stunningly beautiful! My exclusive parking was right next to the tent platform, picnic table, and charcoal grille! 

The bathroom was just off to the side, and was clean and fresh.

 The campsite also had a firepit area with benches overlooking the tumbling Squally Creek!

I hope that you, as a prospective guest, will come and see for yourself what a wonderful spot this is.  Truly Yours, Brian

Secluded, tranquil and gorgeous!

I was hesitant to leave a review- only because I want to keep this place to myself!! My boyfriend and I (and our pup) stayed here for two nights and it was absolutely perfect. After arriving and getting set up, the owner Brian stopped by as he was passing the site to say hello and make sure we had everything we needed. He was so kind and welcoming and even let us know that he had a landline at his place up the road if we needed it for any reason. 
The campsite itself is so beautiful and well maintained. It is VERY private- we did not see or hear another person the whole visit, apart from briefly meeting our host! Just a few steps from your parking spot, there is a tent platform, a picnic table, and a charcoal grill (with grilling utensils included!). We were able to leave most everything in our car as it was so close by, which was very convenient. A few steps down from there, there is a fire pit and benches overlooking the river. There is also a second area for another tent off to the side of the site. We actually pitched our tent there as we liked the little wooded nook down by the water. We slept great and heard nothing but the river all night! The river flowing through the site is beautiful. The water is so clear and there are lots of spots to play in the little waterfalls and lounge in the water. It was too cold to swim while we were there, but we will definitely be back this summer to enjoy the water! The little outhouse is also a great touch. It was well made and very clean and was stocked with sanitizer and toilet paper (and a cute little guestbook!). Brian has clearly put a lot of love and care into this magical place. It was even better than we had expected.
Location is perfect. Host is kind and communicative. Our best camping trip yet. We can’t wait to be back, and will definitely be bringing friends! Thanks again, Brian!
