ScoutIf youre into a bit of glamping. This place works! Good for kids - rootbeer float nights, outdoor movies with marshmellow pits, crerks to splash in. Full bathhouses, laundry & eben a gameroom. My kids loved the tire swings & animals!
Owners were helpful & the campground is close to many hiking trails & Blue Ridge.
GuideThis is a really chill spot near Boone. We stayed in one of the tipis, and it was an awesome glamping experience
The bathrooms were clean.
Everyone staying here was really nice and chill. It feels a little hippie which is neat.
If you’re pulling a camper, the road would be a little rough, but I look forward to bringing our camper here sometime.
TravelerThis was our family's first time glamping, and we were totally impressed. For all you novice campers and newbie nature explores out there, you have nothing to worry about. They provide all basic essentials - head lamps, towels, firewood with a solo stove, cooking utensils and a grill, and LED biolite lanterns as well for modern ammenities while in a natural environment. In short, we'd consider moving there is they'd let us. ha.
LegendVery secluded- you are in the woods, not far from a home on the private property, but feels secluded. Take the many winding mountain roads up to this site. Make sure you bring what you need bc a trip to the store would be a hassle (minimum 20 min drive each way down winding mountain roads). The cocoon is not suspended as high as we thought in pictures. Inside the cocoon is pretty standard and equipped with just about as much as a tent, plus an electrical wire running to it through a hole in the canvas. Pretty cool place but do not expect glamping- more like secluded tent camping with a twist.
GuideWe stayed in the new glamping cabin #2. Very clean, comfortable bed, nice AC, lovely porch to relax on. All cabins are in walking distance to the bathrooms and showers. Those as well were pretty clean for a camp ground, I was pleasantly surprised. The path to the bathrooms light up at night so you can find your way very easy in the dark. Camp ground itself was very clean and I often saw the staff working on cleaning it and interacting with the campers. The designated swimming area was like a piece of heaven. Small not to overly packed, very clean beach. We plan on coming pack to do tent camping with our dog, fantastic family or romantic couple retreat.
TravelerWe came here as our second ever camping trip and it wasn’t exactly what we were expecting but it was definitely an adventure. It was beautiful and quiet and relaxing. The only thing we were not happy about is the insane amount of bugs in the bathroom. But, ya know North Carolina summers.
LegendWe 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.
LegendJulian Price Park is a beautiful campground just off the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina. We enjoy this campground on the weekends throughout the fall and spring as it is less occupied. Reservations can be made on-line or walk up to the small building in the front of the loop. The campsites are separated into several loops. One loop is closer to the lake, the other loop has more availability and quite a range of campsites.
Bathrooms are available here (upgrades coming soon!) as well as drinking water.
GuideWe did 3 hikes and they were all fantastic. Hiked to the highest point in Virginia, saw ponies and followed a beautiful river. We saw cool trees and rock formations. We really loved it. We stayed in a yurt and that was wonderful too. Really delightful.
