Multiple RV parks near Maggie Valley accommodate recreational vehicles with varying site options and hookup capabilities. Creekwood Farm RV Park provides full hookups including water, electric, sewer, and offers amenities like showers, toilets, and a market. Stonebridge RV Resort sits along Jonathan Creek with sites that include fire rings and picnic tables, while Pride RV Resort features fifty-amp service and accepts big rigs. Trails End RV Park maintains year-round operation with water and electric hookups on gravel sites, though it lacks shower facilities. The pull-through sites at many parks position RV pads close together, with concrete slabs available at select locations. "The sites are somewhat close together, but manageable. The campground is right on the main road (Hwy 19), but the road noise was minimal," noted one camper.
Full hookup access varies substantially between facilities, with dump stations available at most established parks. Several parks in the region provide amenities specifically for RV travelers, including laundry facilities, camp stores, and cable TV connections. Visitors should note that mountain terrain affects site leveling, with some reviews mentioning sloped parking areas requiring stabilizing blocks. Cell service from major carriers performs adequately at lower elevation campgrounds, while those in higher locations may experience limited connectivity. Navigation to certain RV parks involves narrow mountain roads with tight turns that may challenge larger motorhomes. Pet policies are generally accommodating, though designated walking areas vary by location. During fall foliage season, advance reservations become essential as many parks reach capacity quickly.

ScoutWe stayed for a week in late October. Quiet and secluded but right outside of Franklin. Very. Nicely decorated. Has small campstore, very nice laundryroom, and a guest event center. Rick, the campsite host, helped me get backed in and asked if I needed any more help. Some pull-throughs. Some sites are a little tight but others really nice. We will definitely come back.
TravelerFantastic National Park! Elkmont is really nice but lacking in hookups and there are no showers. Hard to stay too long without power, water, sewer and showers. Still, an amazing site along the river!
TravelerMy son, daughter-in-law, and twin grandchildren, and I camped here to watch the full solar eclipse in 2017. We had a beautiful tent site. There was a little playground that the kids really enjoyed and abundant shade at the camping site. Bathrooms were clean, wood for campfires was available, and we had a wonderful time.
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.
TravelerThis campground has a great location in maggie valley, close to Waynesville with plenty to do in close proximity. While it is a traditional campground, they have very competitive rates for weekly and monthly stays. For us its the perfect getaway destination for the summers and fall. The staff is super welcomming and friendly. You find a cute creek on the backside of of the campground with trout as some fisherman told me. The staff takes pride in all the flowers, landscaping and seasonal decorations. Also nice to know is you are not being looked down to with an older camper. As long as your rig is decent and functional you are admitted.
ScoutLovely spot on the river. Freeway was loud but not too bad.
TravelerThis worked well for us while we were visiting Dollywood in our trailer, but we wouldn't stay here if we had been in a different type of site. Cons: Unless you have a site up against the river or on patriot park, you are packed in VERY TIGHT with other people, sometimes with your sliders only a foot or two away from your neighbor's sliders. We were in a site that was "on patriot park", but the few first sites of that type are really just behind the trolley parking lot and pick up with a path behind you (including ours). People are on the other side of the fence walking about two feet behind you all day and pretty late in to the night. Pros: There are lot of trees and campground is very pretty. Super close to Dollywood and other Pigeon Forge points of interest.
ScoutGreat spot to pull in last minute. There are multiple spots along this stretch of road. Would not recommend if you want to post up somewhere private, decent amount of traffic pulling through for a mountain road.
ScoutBeautiful Campground, but Absolutely NOT Family-Friendly! I rarely leave negative reviews this strongly, but our experience at Turkey Creek Campground was so disappointing that I feel compelled to warn other families. First, I’ll give credit where it’s due. The campground is beautifully maintained, and the creekside sites are incredibly peaceful and serene. It’s a lovely setting, and during the day, the owner is friendly enough and seemingly hospitable. Unfortunately, the hospitality comes to a screeching halt the moment the clock strikes 10 PM.
We were two families camping together with six well-behaved kids who absolutely love the outdoors. We understand and respect campground quiet hours. We weren’t looking to throw parties, blast music, or disturb anyone. But apparently, at Turkey Creek,“quiet hours” doesn’t mean keeping noise to a respectful minimum. It means absolute silence, complete darkness, and seemingly no normal human activity whatsoever.
I’m not exaggerating.
* We were told to turn off ALL our lights at 10 PM.
* We were confronted for opening our vehicle’s trunk because it made a brief beeping sound.
* Our children were startled by a large spider near the bathhouse, and the owner actually yelled at them to be quiet.
* One evening around 11 PM, we were talking quietly INSIDE OUR OWN TENT, barely above a whisper, when the owner approached our tent door to reprimand us for talking.
* On another occasion, he approached us to complain that our children had left TWO STICKS on the ground near the bathrooms. Two sticks! At a campground surrounded by woods, where the kids had just walked down a wooded trail to reach the bathhouse!
And don’t even think about enjoying a little background music while sitting around your campsite. Music of any kind played through a speaker is prohibited, regardless of volume. Apparently, even a little John Denver played quietly while enjoying the mountains is too much to ask. I fully appreciate that some people camp specifically for peace and quiet. We respect that, too. But there is a massive difference between enforcing reasonable quiet hours and making paying guests feel like they’re constantly being watched, monitored, and reprimanded for simply existing. The owner’s enforcement of these rules felt excessive, confrontational, and completely out of proportion to what was actually happening.
Instead of relaxing and enjoying our family vacation, we found ourselves walking on eggshells, worried that the smallest sound, light, or ordinary childhood behavior would result in another confrontation. What makes this particularly frustrating is that our kids were doing exactly what we’d hope children would do on a camping trip: spending time outside, exploring nature, enjoying each other’s company, and making memories away from screens. Yet somehow, even that seemed unwelcome. If we hadn’t already paid for five nights, we would have packed up and left after the very first night. That’s how uncomfortable the experience became.
If you are someone who wants a meticulously maintained campground where everyone retires to complete silence and darkness by 10 PM, Turkey Creek might be perfect for you. But if you’re a family hoping to enjoy a campfire, share some laughs, quietly socialize in the evening, and let your children experience the simple joys of camping, I cannot recommend this place strongly enough AGAINST it.
There are so many beautiful campgrounds in this area, and I cannot imagine choosing to return somewhere that made our families feel so unwelcome. Beautiful property. Extremely disappointing hospitality. Absolutely terrible experience for families. We will never return.

Day trips to Asheville: Bear Creek RV Park & Campground serves as a convenient base for exploring Asheville. "We only stayed here one night because we wanted to be close to downtown Asheville for a date night out. The Uber ride was around $12 so it was perfect," shares one camper. The campground sits across from the North Carolina Farmers Market, making local produce accessible.
Mountain biking trails: Areas surrounding Rutledge Lake RV Resort provide excellent mountain biking options. "We enjoyed visiting some of the amazing mt bike trails and parks in the area as well!" reports Christopher G. DuPont and Pisgah National Forest offer established trail networks within driving distance of Maggie Valley campgrounds.
Hiking at Mingo Falls: Located near Cherokee, this 120-foot waterfall requires climbing 161 steps but rewards with spectacular views. "We were on sites 12,13 and it was great!!! Kids have a blast, we were right on the river and hiked to Mingo falls," reports Jessica L. The trailhead sits approximately 30 minutes from Maggie Valley.
Creekside camping: Many RV parks in the Maggie Valley region offer sites along waterways. At Creekwood Farm RV Park, "There is also a creek running through the back of the property and there are many sites along the creek," according to Joe B. These water-adjacent sites typically book first during peak season.
Clean bathhouse facilities: Bathroom cleanliness stands out in camper reviews. "The bathrooms were amazing, individual bathrooms, very roomy and oh so clean," notes Joe B. about Creekwood Farm RV Park. This feature becomes particularly important during extended stays or for travelers with smaller RVs.
Seasonal festivities: RV parks often host themed events throughout the camping season. "When we arrived, we noticed a lot of vintage campers and later found out it was a vintage camper show that weekend. Then on Saturday night, there was a live band! It was amazing," writes Joe B. about Creekwood Farm RV Park.
Mountain views: Pride RV Resort provides scenic mountain vistas. "Nice park. Very clean and close to a ton of attractions. Right beside Jonathan Creek which was great but also right beside the highway, a little noisy at times," shares Mark, highlighting both positives and potential drawbacks.
Narrow site dimensions: Space constraints affect many RV parks in mountainous terrain. At Bear Creek RV Park, "the sites are very close together," Alicia C. notes. This proximity becomes more challenging when traveling with slide-outs or requiring outdoor living space.
