  Spacious Skies Bear Den

  A Haven in the Wilderness

  This is a fantastic campground/resort! The sites in our area were spacious enough, and our site was private enough. The site offered a full hookup, with a short distance to the bathhouse if needed. There were several lovely hikes on the grounds/accessible from the campground. One took us to a lovely 50ft waterfall and another took us to a lovely cascade, not too far from the grounds. There were plenty of family friendly amenities such as an arcade space, license-free fishing in their private pond, basketball court & more. The pond touted you could swim but it didn’t seem swimmable in our opinion. There were nice chairs and a small waterfall feature by the pond that allowed for peaceful relaxing whether you were fishing or not. The campground also had a nice general supply store at the entrance and offered golf cart rentals. The location of this campground was one of our favorite aspects. Far enough off the beaten path that you feel as though you’ve gone off the grid but close enough that you can find things to do if you’re not sit-around-the-campsite-for-days kind of people. We day tripped to Boone, Beech Mountain, Little Switzerland, & Grandfather Mountain. The bathhouse was very nice & clean next to us in section B. I didn’t use the showers since we have a fully contained camper but wanted to peek so I could speak to it for this review. The sites were level and an employee escorts you to your site and helps you back in / get parked. (No more “honey I’m sorry for what I said when we were parking the camper” moments here! ;-)) Definitely hike Bear Paw trail if you have an hour to spare. And Cascade is definitely strenuous in sections but the falls are a lovely reprieve! 2 great trails in your back door if you stay here! Enjoy!

  Mountain River Family Campground

  Pristine, friendly, communal, peaceful campground on the river!

  This campground was pristine - from the moment we turned the corner, until the moment we left!  

  We met Kimberly within seconds of pulling on the property.  She was incredibly kind and made us feel at home immediately.  As tent campers, she told us our best choices were a 30 amp site on the river ($50) or a 30-amp site off the river ($44).  These prices are steep for tent camping, but include 2 adults, kids and pets.  Additional adults come with a fee, but we were happy the kids were included.  Not only were the pets included, but they have a dog park area that they can run free and stretch their legs!  

  We came into the cute little office where Kimberly gave us a campground map (which was painted by a resident camper glass blower) and told us about her property. Several items were on sale inside the store, including many shirts, sweatshirts, hats, etc. They also sell kids fishing poles, stickers and even a fresh coffee cup machine.  They have recently renovated the bathhouse (wait until you see it!) they have a library with books and games, an outdoor sink to wash dishes etc. and even a laundry room that operates on the honor system.  How great is that!  I thought it was wonderful that we could wash a wet sleeping bag or a quick load of stinky hiking clothes if necessary!  Kimberly explained that they have a pretty good mix of short and long term campers (primarily RV's) and even a cute little cabin that can be rented.  

  Kimberly said that they choose not to allow on-line bookings to maintain the atmosphere that they desire.  You can call, or submit a request, but they want to have a conversation with you before booking.  The campground was calm, friendly and so so clean.  Campers were friendly, the campground host was as kind as could be, and so proud about her new bathrooms.  (See below).  This is the kind of campground we would feel good about our kids biking around in the evening as they chase fire flies and meet new friends!  

  The campground was located on the river, but the slope was challenging from several sites.  With kiddos, I may prefer a site closer to the road because it was nearly a flat walk out to the river.  We will surely be back!

  Lakeview RV Resort

  Clean and well maintained, friendly staff

  Campground sites are a bit close together but it is well maintained and has friendly staff.  Wifi works well.  Nice dog park.

  Down by the River Campground - 55+

  Everything you need in a campground

  I’m not even sure you can call this a campground! A majority of those staying here were in top of the line campers. It truly felt like a community. There are two bath houses, a dog park, an activity center, and a river flowing behind the sites. It was beautiful and had a cheery atmosphere. They even had WiFi! I was definitely spoiled here.

  Wagoner — New River State Park

  Beautiful campground.

  We camped at the Wagoner access with our dogs over the weekend. The campground is very beautiful. You have to walk in but the park provides little carts and wheelbarrows. The sites and the bathhouse are very well maintained. The park host, Tom Keller, was just fantastic. Really helpful and super nice. There are also 2 beautiful hiking trails starting at the campground. I would definitely camp here again even if I have to say there are much more scenic places in this part of North Carolina.

  Linville Falls Campground — Blue Ridge Parkway

  Loved it!

  Great campground! We are tent campers and loved our time here! There are A LOT of spots in a small area. That would be my only complaint if you want to call it that. The campgrounds clean and the owners are super nice and helpful. We have a dog and love the dog park! The bathrooms are very clean and nice! I would definitely recommend this campground!

  Mountain Stream RV Park

  Small, beautiful campgroud

  Really beautiful spot. It's one small loop with around 30 sites, as well as 3 luxury yurts. Very level w/ nice gravel, fire pits & picnic tables. A nice big creek runs behind most of the campsites. There's a playground for the kids and a little fenced in dog park, too (it even has a nice dog wash station!). Beautifully landscaped with lots of flowers, bird feeders and little white lights at night. The bathhouse was clean and there's a nice picnic shelter. The camp store has basic necessities (even local, fresh eggs). Blue Ridge Parkway isn't far. We recommend the hike to Crabtree Falls! Only con is that the sites are very close together.

  Catawba Falls Campground - TEMPORARILY CLOSED 2025

  Awesome place

  While it is close to a highway it is far enough away not to hear it but convenient to many places to visit including Asheville, The Blue Ridge Parkway and many national Forests and Parks. It is situated on a small river which makes a wonderful backdrop noise to the experience and your sleep. A short not overly strenuous hike to beautiful Catawba Falls to enjoy the beauty of the North Carolina mountains. The staff is helpful and the facilities are more than adequate. Highly recommend this campsite

  Basin Creek Campground - PERMANENTLY CLOSED

  It's been shut down

  The brilliant state of North Carolina in their infinite wisdom shut it down to "preserve nature"
