Blue Bear Mountain Camp and Stone Mountain State Park Campground provide cabin accommodations for visitors exploring the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Most cabins include electricity, running water, and basic furniture with varying levels of kitchen facilities. Some feature full kitchens with refrigerators and microwaves, while others offer only minimal cooking amenities. A camper wrote, "The cabins are sturdy, very clean, pet friendly, and complete with a refrigerator/microwave and coffee maker," highlighting the practical amenities available at many locations. Bathroom facilities range from private indoor bathrooms with showers to nearby communal bathhouses depending on the specific cabin type and location.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Stone Mountain State Park offers year-round cabin options while Honey Bear Campground operates seasonally from March through October. Many cabins accommodate pets with appropriate fees, though policies vary by property. Riverside Canoe and Campground features camping cabins with scenic river views, while Boone KOA provides cabin rentals that offer comfort while maintaining a camping atmosphere. "We stayed in a camping cabin and it was really nice," noted one reviewer who appreciated the location's balance of accessibility and natural setting. Advance reservations are recommended, especially during peak summer and fall foliage seasons.
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Basic cookware may be provided in cabins with kitchens, but guests should confirm amenities before arrival. On-site camp stores at locations like Blue Bear Mountain Camp and Honey Bear Campground stock essential items, firewood, and some grocery basics. Larger grocery stores and supply shops can be found in Boone, approximately 30 minutes from Lansing.

We were traveling through for an overnight stay, view was excellent and staff was very friendly.
Need an overnight stay on 81/77 this is the place. Booked is call them complete the reservation via Campspot app which they use so I had to download it. Place had plenty of sites pull through which I didnt need but they were so accommodating. I had a perfect view of mountains and cow pasture Relaxation and sleep close to bathhouse and office. They also have propane fill for your camper
Let me first start by saying that this campground is absolutely beautiful. I have lived in this area my entire life and the Doe is one of my favorites. I am a avid camper and have camped all over this area. I decided to give this place a try, I own a small pop-up camper and knew it was going to get cold 10/20/2026-10/22/2026, so me and my sister rented the RV at Doe River. #1 check in is not until 3pm, I always order a load of wood from a local guy who delivers to camp sites, I do all my cooking in a Dutch oven over the fire or burgers and dogs in the fire, what is a camping trip without a nice warm fire. The owner came over to my campsite and asked if I had ordered this wood and I replied yes, she then asked what I was going to do with it all, I replied I am going to burn it. So, I told Carl (the wood guy) where to stack it, the owner then said that I need to leave it in my truck bc if I didn't use it all I would have to put it back on my truck and take it home with me, I said really? It's just a unspoken rule that if you don't use all your wood that you pay it forward and leave it for the next camper?? She said absolutely not, So we moved the wood from his truck and into mine. She then asked again why I needed so much wood and that most ppl just buy small bundles from her. And just like that I understood! Carl the wood man and his wife also made a comment about how rude she was about the wood. It does not end there, Not only does she have camaras on some of the out blds which I get, but I don't get why they are pointing directly at camp sites, We felt like we were in a fish bowl the entire time. Every single time we went to the bathroom she showed up abt 5 mins later, There is a camara right above the bathroom door, One on the pavilion, and one on each side of the bathhouse, at the entrances and who know where else. So much for privacy in the great outdoors. I didn't even feel comfortable hiking, we felt like we were being watched constantly. She was constantly there, walking her dog which was not friendly and so big she could hardly control him on the leash which was really scary, she also was driving through several times throughout the day. Then came the kicker, about 1 o'clock in the morning we were freezing, I had turned the heat on in the camper before going to bed and heard it come on, Well the propane ran out between 11pm and 1am, I called her at least 10 times we had every blanket and was still freezing, We decided we would go to the bath house bc it had a mini split hanging on the wall, Out of luck there, it was set on air conditioning with no way to change it, so we found a blow dryer trying to get warm, still the entire time trying to call the owners, We finally ended up in our car until the husband arrived. He acted so annoyed at us and said all u have to do is fip the switch on the propane tanks outside! We had never stayed in a travel trailer before and according to them all we had to do was show up and start glamping!! So, I was supposed to know to go outside at 1 am and switch over propane tanks?? No, It should have been FULL when I got there!!! With attitude he said,"Its Basic Camping" No sir it's not, what I do is basic camping, I was told on the phone that I was glamping, She, the owner also said we should have called 911 when we could not get hold of them so that Carter County police officers could come and wake them up!!! Not sure if that is putting our tax dollars to good use?? Like I said it is truly a beautiful place and has great potential, we left that second night at 11pm because again the heat was not working, we have not asked for any refund we just took the loss. it would be to much of a hassle. We just know better next time. With owners like that they can keep it. Windy Wells/Debra Price
My husband and I arrived at Doe River Landing for 3 nights and enjoyed everything the resort offered. While there we read the 2 reviews posted by Kylie T, and by Andrew W, who gave the resort a 1 star rating. Not knowing the facts that caused the rating by them, and occurred prior to us, we approach the owner and asked.
The owner showed us videos from their security cameras. These adults has stated in Kylie T review and confirm by Andrew W review that they were a group of 20 adults and "every single one of us is over 21 and family". So why are these adults playing "hide and seek" under the pavilion as they stated? Andrew W stated, "It was not blocked off", yet they had to crawl on the ground and around bushes to get under the pavilion. When the owner yelled at them approximately 10 adults that were under the pavilion crawled out which was captured on the security cameras. Andrew W stated in his review the owner called them hooligans, which is rowdy, destructive persons and from the security cameras, that description is correct. There was no mention of damages in their reviews such as the Adirondack chair they broke or possible damage to the water pipes and electric wires under the pavilion, which the owner was currently checking.
Once we read these two reviews by Kylie T and Andrew W and saw the owners security videos, we felt future customers deserved to know another opinion based on our findings.
These entitled adults justified their review of a 1 star by stating they paid money to use the campground.
I would ask these adults "why do you think it is OK to treat someone else's property in this destructive way?"
Seems 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.
We brought our whole family out and rented almost every cabin on the property, plus the event center, for the weekend— we gave this place a lot of business. And honestly, the stay itself was great— nice place, no complaints about the cabins. The owner is the problem. He came flying in in his blue F-150 doing 20–30 mph where the posted speed limit is 5, and started screaming at us over something that could've been handled with a simple conversation. His exact words:"Where are your parents? This is a family establishment. I will not have hooligans running around here." Every single one of us is over 21 and family. All we were doing was playing hide and seek— which isn't against any of the property's rules— and there were no other guests to disturb, since we had the entire area rented. He still threatened to call the police, even though it wasn't even quiet hours. Before anyone could get a word in, he peeled out so fast the gravel sprayed up at us and our cars. Then on his way out he drove the wrong way down the property's one-way road, so apparently the rules only apply to guests. It's sad, because the property itself is great, and we were never anything but nice to the owners the whole weekend. To be treated in such an unprofessional manner— screamed at, threatened, and never given so much as an apology afterward— put a real dent in the weekend. We won't be back
Our group of about 20 rented nearly every cabin at Doe River Landing for my friend's wedding weekend, with the reception held on site. The cabins were nice and well-equipped, and the only other guests were in a cabin half a mile away through the woods. Unfortunately, the hosts ruined the stay. One night, some of us were playing hide and seek in an area that wasn't blocked off or against any rule. The host's husband came speeding in at roughly 30 mph(the posted limit is 5), jumped out of his truck screaming that he"will not have child hooligans running around the campground," told us to"go back to the motel we crawled out of," and demanded to see our parents— despite all of us being adults in our twenties. He then peeled out so aggressively he sprayed gravel at us and our cars. It wasn't even quiet hours, and we weren't disturbing anyone. Afterward, the host called us again, passive-aggressive, and questioned our ages— even though you have to be 21 just to rent a cabin there. The property is lovely, but the hosts' behavior put a real damper on what should have been a joyful wedding celebration. It's a shame they treat people paying good money this way. We won't be back.
From check in to our stay, large big rig drive through lot. Quiet and clean park. Even had pizza and delicious wings delivered right to our coach. Next time through we hope to stay again.
Owner is friendly, people staying here consist of workers and retired people for the most part so the people are very quiet, beautiful river running through the end of the campground and a nice little hiking trail and a wide open area for kids to run and play. Only “bad” part is the road noise you are about 200 yards off that highway and can here it all day and night! But if your like me and don’t mind you will love it here!

River tubing experiences: The Riverside Canoe and Campground offers tubing trips down the river with specialized equipment. "You can rent a tube to place a cooler inside of so you can tube down the river with beverages and snacks in tow. The end of the rafting experience puts you right there back at the campsite," according to one visitor.
Fishing in stocked waters: Multiple water access points allow for varied fishing opportunities. At Little Oak Campground, "We go at least 6 times per year! The campground is fantastic. All campsites are on platforms, which makes it very nice to set up your stuff," reports a regular visitor who enjoys the combination of camping and fishing.
Wine tasting excursions: Several wineries operate within 15 minutes of cabin rentals. "We spent a fantastic afternoon 5 minutes away at Grandfather Vineyard, wine tasting, food truck, and live music. Don't miss trying the flights! We came home with 2 excellent bottles of wine, at a great price!" explains a visitor who stayed at a cabin near Banner Elk.
Cool summer temperatures: The higher elevation provides relief from summer heat. A reviewer at Blue Bear Mountain Camp highlights: "The elevation is high so weather is nice for those trying to escape the summer heat. The weather so much cooler in the summer there (70-80 in July!), it's just a wonderful, down to earth place to be."
Wildlife viewing opportunities: Multiple campgrounds report regular deer sightings. At Stone Mountain State Park Campground, a visitor enjoyed "RV site 40 and I think it's the best. There's a roaring large creek that flows behind the site and a grassy field full of deer beside it."
Clean, reliable bathroom facilities: Campers consistently mention bathroom cleanliness as a highlight. "The bathhouse is nice and includes showers and drinking water. You're literally on a mountain, so there's not much for hiking. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating," notes a visitor to Blue Bear Mountain Camp.
Social camping atmosphere: Many campgrounds host organized activities. At Honey Bear Campground, "The staff does a great job making sure the quiet hours are really quiet and no craziness happens. They even have a 'coffee shop'. Very family friendly."
Site leveling challenges: Many cabin and tent sites in the mountains require leveling equipment. At Honey Bear Campground, a visitor explained the terrain issues: "The sites are a little sloped, so have leveling equipment ready. Most of the sites are wooded with lots of shade."
Seasonal operation schedules: Most cabin rentals operate from March through October, with limited winter availability. A camper notes, "Honey Bear Campground operates seasonally from March through October. The location is also not far from the Blue Ridge Parkway and lots of great hiking."
Water fill procedures: Not all sites include direct water hookups. At Blue Bear Mountain Camp, a regular visitor explains: "They do not have water hookups- you fill your camper tank with water at the office area. They have spots with electric hookups."
Advance reservations essential: Peak season fills quickly at most locations. One camper advises: "This is a great place with great people! If you haven't checked it out, you are truly missing out! This is a great place with great people! You have to book early because C3 is very popular!"
Platform tent sites for comfort: Some campgrounds offer raised wooden platforms. At Camp Burson — Hungry Mother State Park, "The Royal Oak section is for tents only (no hookups are provided) and has really cool wooden pads that give you the feeling of hanging over the hillside."

Family activities programming: Check calendars for special events. A family who visited Honey Bear Campground shared, "We stayed at Honey Bear on the weekend before Halloween. The campground had several family activities like a haunted trail and trick or treating for the kiddos."
Cabin selection strategies: Choose cabins based on proximity to amenities. "We stayed in the camping cabins located on the hill behind the store. It was so quiet & offered a beautiful view of the river from the picnic table," reports a family that stayed at Riverside Canoe and Campground.
Site width considerations: Narrower sites may limit outdoor living space. An RVer at Flintlock Campground explained the challenge: "With the steps out, there was only a few feet between them and the picnic table. I get why the sites are narrow. It's because the campground is in the mountains and they had to grade the sites out of the side of the hill."
Access road navigation: Some campgrounds have challenging entry roads. "The gravel road used to access campground was narrow and would be difficult to get a large camper up there, although there were lots of large ones there," reports an RV camper who visited Blue Bear Mountain Camp.
Tree clearance issues: Low-hanging branches can pose problems. At Camp Burson, a large RV owner noted, "Sites are level and can fit big rigs but the only problem we had were that some of the trees need to be trimmed back and scratched the upper sides of our coach."
Water and dump station locations: Not all sites offer full hookups. An RVer at Blue Bear Mountain Camp explained: "They have a dump station where you can empty your tanks on your way out. This is a simple & beautiful campground."
