16 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV campgrounds accommodate rigs of various sizes in the Little Switzerland area, with Three Peaks RV Resort offering 31 full-hookup sites with 30/50-amp electric service. Mountain Stream RV Park, open April through November, features pull-through sites with water, electric, and sewer connections alongside Buck Creek. "We found this RV Park to be dreamy, the sounds of the creek were very relaxing listening from our private deck," noted one visitor about Mountain Stream. Granny's Place RV Resort provides four full-hookup sites on a smaller property with gravel pads that require careful maneuvering, while Buck Creek RV Park maintains 74 sites with hookups available during their April to November season.
Road navigation requires caution on mountain routes approaching certain parks, particularly when towing larger rigs. The Blue Ridge Parkway provides scenic access but presents tight turns in sections near Crabtree Falls Campground. Cell service varies significantly throughout the region, with AT&T coverage at Granny's Place reported as "decent, ranging from 1-3 bars that vacillated between LTE and 5G." Most RV parks in the area permit pets but have varying policies regarding pet enclosures and designated exercise areas. Dump stations are limited at smaller facilities, though larger parks like Mountain Stream provide on-site sanitary dumps. Many parks fill quickly during fall foliage season, making advance reservations essential between September and late October.

"The spot was easy to pull my 26’ camper in and was pretty level. Good access to 30A power/water/sewer and a serene creek just a few yards from your front door."
"We loved the privacy, location, and serenity of this campground. We live in the country and are used to more seclusion."
from $35 - $46 / night
"We are full-timers in a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow. We were in site 3 for 6 days in mid October."

"The good- The proximity to downtown is the best you can get in a campground. If you choose a Riverfront site, you are literally 5 steps from the back of your RV from the French Broad River."
"Close to town to go check things out. Not a far drive to get to many great restaurants, breweries or cideries. Right on the river. Concrete sites, not extremely level, but good enough."
"I stayed at Rutledge Lake RV Resort July 7-9, 2023. The site was pretty level and the staff was friendly. The sites are packed in fairly close together but my neighbors were all extremely quiet."
"This campground was decent Fishing pond has a lot of ducks and seaweed
Laundry room was nice and large - easy and quick to get 3 loads done
Waterfront site was fairly level and loved being able to"
TravelerThis location can’t be beat. Nestled between Asheville and Brevard, close to Pisgah NF and Sierra Nevada brewing! We loved the access to fishing here, even though we didn’t catch anything. The streams were pristine, the campground very well kept and the hosts were kind. And our dog obviously loved it!
LegendThis is almost a perfect park. Sites are a little tight, pond is nice, but geese were on another level. So loud at 3-5am it woke us up and kept us up. Our neighbors were also inconsiderately loud at 4-6am. We thought they were pulling out the first time and gave a pass, but it was 4 straight days. This was only place at the time time that had sites. Definitely pretty more scenic parks. We book 2 days out. Staff is super friendly and price wasn’t bad last minute.
ScoutNobody was here on Sat. Had gard time finding site. Site reserved did not have 30 amp and could not reach staff. Moved to other site hoping it would not be a problem. We were able to finally reach staff on Mon. Also no pcknick tables or fire rings.
ScoutLet 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
TravelerThis place is a nice campground, quiet and the guests (during our stay) respect others by keeping the noise down. The spaces are set up to maximize privacy between sites. There is no cell phone service (to do this report we are in a picnic area by a small lake and I can get cell as well as internet on my travelfi device) sos is the only access. I normally listen to audio books but not while here. On my computer I could see three others with low signals; they might have had a better device/provider. The spots tend to the small back in typically found in campsites built before RVs got really big, type. There is another camping area I haven’t been to yet and I did see a large over lander (looks indestructible and tall/long) towable head that way and the campground attendant didn’t predict any problems so perhaps there are larger spots elsewhere. This place has single person shower rooms and nice flush toilets. The whole place is set in woodland so it isn’t like a commercial RV place that was more concerned with volume over aesthetics. This is a lovely spot with ample amenities (my space had no hookups) for our type of camping (toilets, trash, quiet neighbors, semi private spaces) just zero phone or internet.
ScoutLovely spot on the river. Freeway was loud but not too bad.
ScoutMy 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?"
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.
ScoutWe 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
RV camping near Little Switzerland, North Carolina offers travelers access to mountain streams, hiking trails, and scenic drives along the Blue Ridge Parkway. The area sits at elevations between 3,000-4,000 feet, creating cooler summer temperatures than surrounding lowlands. Campsites in this region typically require advance booking from April through November, with many parks closing during winter months due to mountain road conditions.
Fish in the streams: At Mountain Stream RV Park, you can catch trout directly from your campsite. "My husband did yoga every morning while I hung in my hammock and watched. The sound of the stream was so peaceful and relaxing," mentions Barbara S. The park offers catch-and-release fishing in Buck Creek.
Explore nearby mountains: Mount Mitchell, the highest point east of the Mississippi, sits about 60 minutes from the area. "Located near many great hikes and river access. My Mitchell is about 60 minutes away on a beautiful drive," notes Megan M. from Mountain Stream RV Park.
Gem mining adventures: Three Peaks RV Resort provides access to local gem mining operations. "On any given day, you could take a mountain hike, go mining for your own gems (real gems!), drive the Blue Ridge Parkway, go tubing in the nearby Toe River, and all manner of other adventures depending what you're into," writes reviewer Fuller C.
Convenient location near town: Barefoot Landing Camping Resort offers "very quiet, very peaceful and friendly" camping according to Rachael A., while staying close to Marion's amenities. The 19-site park maintains a tranquil atmosphere despite its proximity to town services.
Creek sounds for sleeping: Campers consistently mention stream noise as a sleep aid. "No sound machine needed... The sound of the stream was so peaceful and relaxing. My husband did yoga every morning while I hung in my hammock and watched," shares Barbara S. about her Mountain Stream RV Park stay.
Community gatherings: Three Peaks RV Resort features a market stocked with local goods. "I trundled my camper up the little hill to check in at the cute market, which has everything from eggs and bacon to kids' toys, treats, and locally made goods," notes Fuller C. Mountain Stream hosts weekly barbecues where "Kevin serves up his special home cooked bar-b-que under the shelter at no additional cost, and many campers bring sides to share," according to Duncan C.
Cell service limitations: Service varies significantly by carrier and location. At Granny's Place RV Resort, "AT&T coverage was decent, ranging from 1-3 bars that vacillated between LTE & 5G with speeds varying from 1.3 to 6.2 MB/s," reports Ray & Terri F.
Tight camping spaces: Some parks have limited room between sites. At Mountain Stream RV Park, "the only reason I did not give this a Five Star Rating was that the site we stayed at was a little small #7. Even with a 25-foot camper, I could not let me awning out fully," notes James U.
Wi-Fi reliability: Internet access is inconsistent throughout the region. "CG WiFi was having issues while we were there, but when it worked we were able to get speeds up to 4 MB/s," mentions Ray & Terri F. about their stay at Granny's Place.
Look for creek play areas: Buck Creek offers "Swimming, tubing, fishing available. Shaded and perfect for our pop up," according to Susan B. The creek provides natural entertainment for children during hot summer days.
Consider parks with playgrounds: Buck Creek includes "a playground for the kids" that's "updated basic" according to Megan M., making it suitable for younger travelers needing activity options between hiking excursions.
Book waterfront sites when possible: At Buck Creek, "The campground is very close to the Blue Ridge Parkway (about 10 miles). I rode my motorcycle up Route 80 to the Blue Ridge. Route 80 is a great winding road," notes Kevin A., who also recommended "site 47, which was the best... It's a good-sized site right on the creek and just up from swimming hole#2."
Navigation challenges: Rutledge Lake RV Resort has some tight turns. "Some of the internal resort roads are in need of resurfacing, as there are quite a few potholes... I think it's also worth mentioning that in trying to use the key card the automatic gate dropped on the front of our vehicle," cautions Kayla.
Know your RV length limits: Rose Creek Retreat accommodates moderate-sized RVs. "The spot was easy to pull my 26' camper in and was pretty level. Good access to 30A power/water/sewer and a serene creek just a few yards from your front door," reports Dustin F.
Plan for limited supplies: Some parks have minimal on-site services. "The only suggestion is to have a convenient place to dispose of trash easier - we had to hunt for public trash bins," notes Carrie S. about Rose Creek Retreat.
