Best RV Parks & Resorts near Jefferson, NC

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 spent 4 nights here this past week. Very clean, quiet, and relaxing campground. The owner Todd was super nice and very helpful. Great WiFi service. We were in site 43 right on the pond. Full hookups. Very good Verizon coverage. Ok ATT coverage. A mix of short and long term campsites, but everything is well maintained. We will definitely stay here again.

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.

We were lucky enough to call just after a cancellation was made in the RV Park…making room for us for 4 nights. Tom was really communicative throughout and with the short notice of the reservation…he even helped with suggestions of nearby groceries in Galax and directions to the RV site. We arrived at 8 pm, and he greeted us with a smile and escorted us to our site. Full hook ups. Cable TV was a luxury for us! Great WiFi the entire time; even for a couple of zoom calls! In the morning we saw that most of the sites are parallel to the creek that runs through the site. And while the ones that are up a little further are off creek..they have either large decks or porch swings right on their site. But all are gravel, level and meticulously raked and cleaned upon arrival! No Campfires allowed; propane portable fire pit is ok. No Tents. Dogs supposed to be on a leash. Bath house is small and clean; one room for men and one for women. Each has a sink, toilet and walk in shower. (one person can use at a time, as there are no stalls.) Catch the head of the 58 mile trail just 2 blocks from the RV site. (Just head down to the River, just beyond the caboose with ice cream!) We rode the first 6 miles (and back) of the New River Trail to the train trestle and through the tunnel, just beyond. Easy ride with 2% grade. Kayak and bike drop offs are available at the gas station. (About 2 miles down.) Arrived back just in time fir a great fried catfish lunch at The Cafe; with indoor and outdoor seating…although outside benches do not have service. Late in the afternoon, there were some musicians staying next to us who were playing banjo and fiddle. We sat on the porch swing just across the creek and listened to the beautiful sounds. Overall great site! But that also means to book early!

Great owners. Full hook ups with WiFi, pool, playground, game room, small store, bath house, laundry facilities and more. Dog friendly. Love camping here.

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 camping spot is a hidden gem in the woods. You got hiking trails that lead right threw the campground up to Carter falls and down to elkin. Both primitive and full hook up available definitely will return again.

One mile off the Interstate, but you would never know it! A large hill at the west side of the park blocks most of the noise. There's even cows on the hill! Super nice people that run it, as well as the campers visiting. Each campsite has a level space, shade, and picnic table. Full hook ups, including cable! There is a very clean pool, but it was not open. Just wish there was a wildlife area with flowers here....

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.

Fries New River Trail RV Campground is just off the New River Trail in Fries, VA. I loved the whole campground - it’s small, less than 20 sites - but each site is beautifully landscaped and maintained. Our site was completely level and had a deck, perfect for a morning yoga routine. The sites were full hook-ups and the campground had really good Wi-Fi. We stayed for four nights, but I want to go back in the fall when the leaves are turning.

The New River runs through the town adding to the scenic-ness of the town. There is a restaurant and an ice cream shop, but the real attraction is the New River Bike Trail. The start of the trail is less than 1/2 mile from the campground and travels along the New River for miles. It is also possible to reach Galax by bike along a spur - about 11 miles from the campground.

Wonderful stay at Fries!

This was a overnight stop but it was a great find! We were in a full hook up pull through site 20. Gravel pads with a picnic table and fire ring. Sites were open but a decent size, and mostly level. There was a lovely  stream that ran along the property with beautiful shade trees and lots of grass. We have 2 dogs and there was plenty of great area to walk them.  The bathhouse was very clean but there was no A/C and only a few small windows for ventilation. The whole property was very well kept and beautiful. Will definitely be back as we travel this way each year.

Verizon phone worked good, but not really any TV reception. But we were good with that!

This is a great park! The staff are all nice and friendly, and the park is very well laid out and clean. You got full hookups, nice level sites, and two playgrounds. This place is full on the weekends so reserve in advance.

Also, the Mt. Airy town is nice to visit. You are close to all the amenities when staying here. Check out the Andy Griffith museum, Main Street, and the granite quarry.
