8 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Spacious Skies Bear Den, Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Golden Valley, and Four Paws Kingdom Campground offer cabin rental options in the Casar area. Rustic cabin rentals vary in size, furnishings, and amenities, with most providing basic furniture and electricity. Many cabins include climate control through heating and air conditioning units. Sleeping arrangements typically feature bunk beds or cots with plywood bases in the more primitive cabins. "The cabins are awesome and each site is nice and private with great tree and brush cover separating sites," noted a visitor who appreciated the privacy at Spacious Skies Bear Den.
Most cabins require reservations, especially during peak summer months when availability becomes limited. Pet-friendly cabins can be found at Four Paws Kingdom Campground & Dog Retreat, where each rental includes a private gated yard with a fire pit. According to one visitor, "All of the cabins and trailers available to rent are so reasonably priced and have AC and fully functioning appliances." Jellystone Park offers family-oriented cabins with proximity to recreational amenities, while Lucky Strike Campground provides more secluded options. Accessibility varies by location, with some cabins situated directly on campground roads and others requiring short walks to reach.
Visitors should confirm what supplies are provided before arrival. While beds are standard in most cabins, linens and pillows are typically not included. Kitchen facilities range from fully equipped kitchenettes to simple microwaves or outdoor cooking areas. On-site camp stores at larger resorts like Jellystone Park and Spacious Skies Bear Den stock essential items and firewood. Bathroom facilities vary significantly between properties—some cabins include private bathrooms while others rely on centralized bathhouses. Electricity is standard in most cabin rentals, though power capacity differs, with some accommodating only basic needs like phone charging and lighting.
"It was perfectly level and roomy with trees behind us. The bathrooms/showers are modern and spotless. We could only get a two night reservation, but that was enough."
"My family rented a cabin on the creek. Golf carts are a must to get around since the campground is so big!"
"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."
"Limited on golf cart rentals so bring your own if you can. Do however have to pay extra for water slides and paddle boats."

"We have tent camped, cabin camped and RV camped here on several occasions. The cabins are awesome and each site is nice and private with great tree and brush cover separating sites."

Everyone is extremely nice and the grounds and facilities (bathrooms, laundry, dog wash, etc) are very clean."

"What was really nice though was the fact that right next door is a hotel with a water park, so when we got intense rain, we loaded up most of our stuff and grabbed a hotel room for the night, and the littles"
"As typical of a KOA, they shove you in there so you are very close to your neighbors. The stars of the park are the riverfront sites."
"It’s accessibility to Asheville is great, but the site itself is clean, with tidy grounds and a spotless bathroom (didn’t use showers). Plenty of places to walk and pet friendly."
from $50 / night
"We picked a site without really knowing the layout of the park. Our site was #4 and it was easy to park."

"The campsites aren’t very private but you also have plenty of space at each one where you aren’t on top of one another."
"Was able to get two sites right next to each other outside the main campsite area which was great."

GuideSeems to be a well established campground in an off the beaten path location. Roads alternately paved and gravel. The campsite is gravel in a wooded setting. Fair amount of space between sites. The bathhouse is clean but dated.
ScoutIf you ever plan on visiting Shelby / Broad River KOA Holiday Campground and have women or kids in your party, and y'all rent a unit from them, I'd rethink it or keep the door locked at all times. Our visit was wonderful up until the point a maintenance worker walks straight up in here on us.
ScoutI actually stayed here last year!! Went through hip camp!! We stayed in a tent and it was so beautiful!! Got to see Asheville, some waterfalls and we went to the renaissance fair!! Wow the host were amazing at getting us anything we needed! Plenty of fire wood! I actually want to come back in the next month now that I’m seeing this again!
TravelerNice campground but getting in is treacherous. Don’t come up NC 226 it unfriendly for RVS . About 1 mile to the campground the road is horrible and will beat you and your rig half to death. The swimming lake is more like a mud hole then a lake and the game room machines wont take your money and the pool table is missing the cue ball and chalk. Overall I will not be coming back.
ScoutWe loved our stay at the Starlite! My husband and I are exploring NC and stumbled upon the this campground. It’s nestled right next to a beautiful stream and is surrounded by beautiful landscapes. The campground is so nicely kept up! But what we loved the most was the community of the campground. We were welcomed right away and had the best time getting to know folks. If you’re in the area (or even if you’re not!) make sure to stay at the Starlite!
RangerIt says no overnight camping but there were 3 cars camping so I decided to camp. Drove straight across the entrance where a sign said parking but no camping. Was actually a really good camp spot plenty of room.
GuideWe spent a Friday and Saturday night at site 23, which is a great spot. This is a spot for a smaller camper and has water and power only. The plug for power is a little further away than usual, so if you are plugging in to power you may need an extended cord. It’s a short walk to the bath house, which was well maintained. The dog walking area was spacious and also very clean. They also have a washer and dryer on site for laundry.
ScoutReally nice spot. We got lucky to be placed by the small river. Traffic is really loud, especially the emergency vehicles. but really felt like secluded. Really nice cabins and tent spots.
RangerWish we could have spent more time here. It’s a beautiful part of the world. The campground is well maintained.

Kid-friendly activities: Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Golden Valley specializes in family entertainment. "The kids enjoyed the water park, putt putt, gem mining, fishing, crafts and tie dying shirts. There were several activities we didn't get a chance to do this trip (kayak, laser tag and the playground)," reports a family visitor.
Dog-specific amenities: Four Paws Kingdom Campground & Dog Retreat caters exclusively to dogs and their owners. "As for the 'Dog Retreat' part - 18 acres of wonder open areas fenced in to keep you furry friends from running away, there is agility park, puppy park, the main dog park, a private park (single or you can invite), a Lure run, a Ball Park, and a Pond for those watery dogs," explains a guest.
