Best RV Parks & Resorts near Bakersville, NC

Quiet, wooded sites with full RV hook up. Nice large sites and private. This is a privately ran campground. Also has tent sites available.

We stayed from August 1, 2023 to October 30, 2023. This place is toxic. You will have no privacy. If the park cameras aren't watching your every move, the long term residents are. 

Indian Springs RV Park claims to be a destination for all, but our experience told a different story. From the outset, the owner's demeanor was cold and unwelcoming. It's clear that this park caters primarily to long-term older renters, which left us feeling like outsiders. 

The pet rules were not only archaic but also overly strict. Our furry companions felt like prisoners rather than cherished members of our family. This level of rigidity made our stay uncomfortable and less enjoyable. 

The wilderness trail, advertised as a natural escape, was a disappointment. Instead of a serene, well-maintained environment, we encountered a trash-strewn path that reflected a lack of care for the natural surroundings. We had a problem with roaches, which I can only assume came from unkempt trailers residing next to us. 

Families with children should think twice before booking here. The park lacks kid-friendly amenities and activities, making it an unsuitable environment for young ones. It's clear that this place is geared towards a specific demographic, neglecting the needs of a more diverse clientele. 

Perhaps most frustrating was the inconsistency in park rules. It became evident that decisions were made to suit the owner's preferences rather than ensuring a positive experience for all guests. This lack of transparency left us feeling undervalued and frustrated. 

In conclusion, Indian Springs RV Park may be ideal for a specific demographic, but it falls short of providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for a broader range of guests. We left with a sense of disappointment and will not be returning. It's important for the management to be honest about their target audience to avoid misleading potential visitors.

We started our season out with this trip and had a blast. This was one of the best rv parks we have stayed at. We had a park that backed up to the big lake and had neighbors at both neighboring sites, we still had plenty of room. The people running the park were super friendly and took great pride in the park. We had firewood delivered to our site twice and they were very happy to do so. Big playground for our little girl and she had a blast. We will be returning soon.

I stayed at Rutledge Lake RV Resort July 7-9, 2023. The site was pretty level and the staff was friendly. The sites are packed in fairly close together but my neighbors were all extremely quiet. My Starlink had great line of sight and I had no issues streaming video. My Verizon cell phone also got great reception.

Family-friendly campground with plenty of fun activities for kids. Playground, fishing pond, disc golf, recreation and game area, and ice cream trailer. Our site was nicely shaded and fairly level. Fire pit and picnic table at each site. There appears to be a lot of long-term residents but all sites were very well kept and the campground was very clean. The best part was the friendly staff!

Small tight campground just outside of Boone, NC. Very tight sites. Many long term campers. Right on the main road (Rte 105). Tons of road noise. Convenient to Boone, but not our preferred campground.

Nice and simple site that feels like it’s really in nature, but isn’t overly rustic. Pros: water, showers, flushing toilets, RV hookups, campsite, swimming, hiking, wooded & shady sites, clean. There isn’t too much of any one activity in/near the campground but lots more in the greater area. Cons: just plan to drive to another area if you’re staying for a few days (not really a con though). Not far from the Appalachian Trail, the TN/NC border, and highway 26. Asheville is about an hour away and is very charming.

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.

We stayed at Green Mountain for three nights. We picked a site without really knowing the layout of the park. Our site was #4 and it was easy to park. We had a deck at our site which was a but problematic due to our steps folding out, it took some finagling and leveling to get it to where we could close our door. The whole camper ground is nicely taken care of with some site far up on some hills, so if you stay, ask about where the site is and how easy it is to get into, some looked wild! The restrooms are very primitive, remind me of old church camp bathrooms I used to go to haha. There are some hiking trails that are accessible from the park. You can pick up a map from the front office. It is mountainous so be aware the trails are quite steep and strenuous but not super long. We did hike up to an overlook area and the fall colors were amazing. There is a gate entry card that costs $15 outside of the Thousand Trails network but when you check out they return the $15 if you return the card. Overall, this was a decent Campground.

This is a full hook up, mostly full time residents type of park. The sites are a bit close together but the price is right. Location is great. Close to grocery, shopping, gas, propane and historic downtown Hendersonville.

This is our 2nd time staying here for a quick overnight stay. I would definitely like to stay here longer! Even though it's very close to the interstate, it was very quiet. We had a full hook up site, relatively level. It had a picnic table and fire ring. Shower rooms, laundry room, and store, as well as snack shop! The camp hosts were very kind and friendly. Lots of walking around we area. We were in site B1 46 dollars a night.

My husband and I, along with our 2 dogs, stayed at Rutledge Lake RV Resort for 1 night in our Mercedes Sprinter campervan. We prefer to make our reservations online, and found it a bit odd that they actually use a third party booking site that only submits a request to book so we didn't have a confirmed booking until mid-morning the day of our arrival. They also don't offer guaranteed site numbers so you don't know your site until you arrive. In addition, we found out after we arrived that due to the temps we were not supposed to use the water connections. We found it to be to be an extremely expensive reservation, especially given the inability to use the hookups we had purchased. For reference, we paid$68 for one night and had just completed a 4 night stay at another park for$74 total. While the lake was pretty, the sites are very narrow and there is zero privacy. There's also a fair bit of road noise as well. There don't seem to be a ton of great options in the Asheville area and since we needed WiFi in the morning for my husband's work meeting, we opted to stay here, but we wouldn't choose to stay here again in the future. For campers that like lots of amenities, perhaps this is a great fit, but it just wasn't worth it for us. I think it's also worth mentioning that in trying to use the key card the automatic gate dropped on the front of our vehicle, and then in order to park close enough to the hookups my husband hit a post when opening the driver's door.

We spent 14 nights here Oct 2020. Not one day where we disappointed. Beautiful park with full hook ups. People here where super friends and there are people working on the park keeping it clean everyday. Super close to town to go get dinner and supplies. Very close to Boone, Blowing Rock and the Blue Ridge Parkway. If you want a great Mexican meal go to Dos Amigos. We went three times because it was just that good.

The little old lady that owns the place does her best to keep up with the place. Bought equipment and hires help to do the work around the place. Shes a little old school but if you give her the time and sit and talk with her youll know her intent. Been here a week and happy so far. The price is 600 a month, full hook up, the water is clean, cell service is 1-2 bars for att phone, enough to run my hotspot and stream movies and facetime, location is just outside yuppyville and close to everything. Id say give it a shot to someone looking

Weekend in the 28 foot Fifth Wheel. At the very top of the hill next to the llamas. Very private as you are next to a retaining wall and the last spot in the row.

Took my son for a weekend and we had a great time together. Doesn’t off any activities, we had brought a football and baseball glove and ball, they did have an area we were able to do that.

Bath house was nice if needed, they have full hook-up though. But, walk wasn’t a short walk.

For the price it was good and super quiet. Lots of year round campers.

We found this campground on our way through Lenoir, NC. It was very pricey ($82 for one night - 30 amp, water, & sewer). We were assigned site 51. We were very clear during online registration and check-in that our RV was a 32-foot class C RV and we were towing our Jeep Wrangler. The site was almost impossible to get the RV into and we took up the entire very tight space (no room for our Jeep). At check-in we were told this was the only site available because we would only be here one night. The facilities are extremely dated and in need of repair and upkeep. Mostly long-term campers. Sites are all on top of one another. After getting into the site, we rode our bikes and saw many other open and more suitable sites. We were told that the manager was unavailable. The office closes and the gates lock at 8 pm and you need to purchase a $15 gate card if you want access after 8 pm. The $15 is refunded when you return the card upon checkout.

Bottom line is that we have camped at over 45 campgrounds in the past 18 months and this one was by highest priced and worst condition. We have stayed at a couple that we’re a little rougher around the edges, but cost about $25 per night. At $82 per night, we would not recommend this campground.
