Fishing, creek wading, and trout watching are central to the Mountain Stream RV Park experience. Buck Creek runs directly behind most of the sites, and multiple reviewers mention sitting in camp chairs in the water or watching from wooden decks that cantilever over the stream. James U. captures it well: "the sound of the creek was just what this old soul needed." The creek is catch-and-release, and at least one family reported a child landing their first trout from a campsite.
The park is a single small loop with roughly 30 sites, three yurts, and a couple of rentable campers for those without their own rig. Sites are level with gravel pads, fire rings, and picnic tables, and the stream-side spots include those wooden decks. A dog park with a wash station, a playground, a grassy courtyard for lawn games, and a covered picnic shelter with a built-in television round out the communal areas. On Saturday evenings, the owners have been known to serve barbecue under the shelter at no extra charge, with campers bringing sides to share. Cell service is nearly nonexistent, though the WiFi system has been upgraded and can support calls.
The sites are close together. That comes up consistently across reviews, and it is worth factoring in when choosing a site. Reviewers recommend requesting a stream-side spot and booking in advance, particularly for summer weekends. Site 7 drew a specific note that a 25-foot camper couldn't fully extend its awning. The campground runs from April through November, with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer available throughout the season.
Day trips from here reach Mount Mitchell, Linville Falls, and Chimney Rock without a long drive. The Blue Ridge Parkway is also accessible nearby. Duncan C. describes the owners, who live on-site, as attentive, and cleanliness of the bathhouse gets consistent marks across multiple visits and years. Rates run $48 to $65 per night. Campers looking for more options in the broader area can explore camping near Old Fort, or consider Buck Creek a few miles to the east for a different setting.
Description
Mountain Stream RV Park is at about 1800′ elevation in the middle of the Pisgah National Forest, nestled in a narrow valley surrounded by mountains on all sides. Beautiful Buck Creek flows through this valley and along two sides of the campground. The Blue Ridge Parkway is only about 3 miles away, but it’s 5 miles by road. We are surrounded by gorgeous mountain scenery. You can take in many of the interesting attractions that are only a short drive away or you can just relax by the stream and listen to the cold clear water flowing over the rocky stream bed. And speaking of the stream, there’s trout in that thar’ water. All of our sites have full hook-ups – power (30 & 50 amp), water, sewer and cable TV.
