Buck Creek
Great campground…Right on the creek
Peaceful, calm, excellent folks, and very relaxing. I camped here for more than two weeks in August. Site #4, site 19, and site #47. The campground is clean, quiet, and well-maintained. The owners and staff were great and super helpful. Site #4 is on the creek. It was short for my 32-foot RV but manageable. It had full hookups. Site #4 was level and semi-shaded. The WiFi signal was great, and speeds were reasonable. I used the bathhouse showers and laundry. Both were clean. I moved to site 19, which is not on the creek but on the edge of the field. It was very level as well, and all hookups worked fine. The WiFi at site 19 was considerably worse, but the sky was clear, and I could fully use my Starlink service. The central field area is mowed and set up as an RC flying field. A few campers flew their model airplanes. It was fun to watch. I even jumped into the RC hobby, buying a trainer plane at a local Hobby Shop, and began flying. I moved to site 47, which was the best of all three. It’s a good-sized site right on the creek and just up from swimming hole#2. There were two swimming holes along the creek, which were a ton of fun. I swam in both. The water is very clear and refreshing. The campground is 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. The campground is very close to downtown Marion and some shops, groceries, and restaurants. Overall, this is a great campground with a great staff, location, and is very relaxing.
Smokey Mountain Hidden Stills RV Campground
A View with a spot to camp!
Wowza! The views here are beautiful, very private and secluded campground. Pet friendly and the creek right next along the site was perfect! Super clean and has exceptional host & owner who will do their best to meet your needs. Prices are competitive but the beauty of this space is like no other by no means! Can't wait to come back for the fall foliage and bonfires. Oh yeah and to sharpen my axe throwing skills, corn hole is already on point so that was a nice touch also!
Stonebridge RV Resort
Absolutely Wonderful
Top of our list for all around excellent amenities.
Sarah's Creek Campground (Clayton, Ga) — Chattahoochee Oconee National Forest
A nice peaceful spot
I have gone to Sarah’s creek multiple times. It fills up sometimes but there are plenty of free spots around the area
Sarah's Creek Campground (Clayton, Ga) — Chattahoochee Oconee National Forest
North GA Sweetspot
I’ve been camping at Sarah’s Creek for years - you can pay online or at the campground itself (envelope/tag system), etc. There is absolutely ZERO Verizon service. 26 sites, all with picnic tables, fire rings and lantern posts. Some are better than others. The creek is shallow for the most part but there is a trail marked by a bright green circle spraypainted onto a pine tree shortly before the first few sites (on the left as you enter, just before the campground begins) where there are some small falls and a nice little swimming/bathing hole. Trout fisherman’s delight. Road is easy enough but has a lot of dips and switchbacks; 4x2 is completely adequate, though could be tough in extremely wet conditions. Sarah’s Creek is the perfect weekend getaway. Lots of trails to bike/explore, too.
Timberlake Campground
Great secluded spot!
Joe was amazing. Great guy. The free ice and firewood made the nightly stay virtually half price! Great if you are looking for calm, quiet and laid back.

Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Golden Valley
Kid Paradise
We took the grandkids to the Bostic, NC Jellystone in mid-July. They had a fabulous time. The RV site we had was #408. It was perfectly level and roomy with trees behind us. The bathrooms/showers are modern and spotless. We could only get a two night reservation, but that was enough. The kids (10 and 11) played so hard they were exhausted. It's a huge park with a system of golf cart trails that connect everything. The kids thought that was as exciting as the water park and the swimming pond. After having been there - I'd say a golf cart rental is a requirement. Despite the nearly 100 degree temps, the staff and other campers were cheerful and friendly. The kids made several friends. We didn't have time to do the crafts, but they looked fun. They loved the rollercoaster and minigolf. It's a good idea to bring your own food, as the options there aren't well-rated and expensive, but the ice cream was great. The only disappointment was that we couldn't stay longer.
Davidson River Campground
Nice Spot
We were in Laurel loop in a double site. It was perfect for 2 tents and our 17’ camper. Nice woodsy site, although you can hear a bit of road noise. No cell signal but we were able to set up our star link with a patch of open sun behind the site. We actually forgot to bring coffee so it was great to have the coffee truck 5 mins away outside the campground. Hiked the North Slope nearly 4 miles wore out the dogs perfectly!
Silver Creek Campground
Peace and Quiet
I stayed October 2022. My first time at this site. At that time, it wasn't under new ownership yet. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. There was some renovations being done. But, all in all, I found it to be clean and stocked. Looking forward to my next visit.
Wash Creek Dispersed Pull-Off
Wash Creek, NC
Beautiful, quiet campsites
Avery Creek Roadside Camping
No access in June 2024
No access to road itself or to its campsites due to recent storm damage according to NFS sign at northern terminus of Avery Cr Rd.
Four Paws Kingdom Campground & Dog Retreat
Best place for my pup
We stayed for memorial day weekend in one of the rvs they had for rent. Had such a great time I went and bought a camper and have plans to go back already! My husky had a blast, as did the humans.
Devils Fork State Park Campground
July in Devils Fork
First time at this State Campground. Fairly easy to find and navigate within the community. Ranger staff was supper friendly. For being early July it’s in the mid to high 80’s. The humidity is low. The nights dipped down in the low 70’s. The nights are bearable; the abundance of trees drives down the summer heat. You have to walk to your tent site. It’s not that long of a trek but if you have a large entourage, or if you’re of the mindset of bring with you all the amenities from home; there will be a lot of back n forth to your vehicle. It’s quiet at night time for there being lots of people onsite. The camp sites are far enough apart and have enough trees coverage/ shading to give you some privacy. Make sure you bring a good headband light or strong flashlight with you to walk back n forth to your vehicle & bathroom at night. We brought a camp style portable potty. The bathroom is just too far for us to walk in the middle of the night especially with a 4yr old. Highly recommend campsite. The lake beach access was nice. Water was cool and refreshing. My one complaint of the beach access was; there were far too many people with carelessness leaving trash, abandoned clothes, diapers, water toys, and all sorts of debris littering the beach rocks, etc. We had a wonderful time. Highly recommend experience with the family.
Timberlake Campground
Great family campground
Very welcoming, friendly place with nice toilet and shower facilities. We camped in tents and found the site we had to be large and quiet.
FS 289 Pull Off
Good location
Another review recommended an off-road vehicle or a jeep to get here. In dry conditions, I got here just fine in an Outback Wilderness, and 5 minutes later a Prius drove up. There’s a bit of trash but I’ve seen worse. Definitely bring bug repellent. The creek is only a few feet away from the campsite.
Montreat Family Campground
God’s beauty
Such a hidden gem. My son and I had a great time tent camping. We had fantastic Rangers on during our stay.
Montreat does a great job having this family campground. We were on a hunt to see the wonderful creations. Our maker made and if they were in a stream, we found them. :).
Blue Ridge Falls RV Resort
Great Campground
This was a perfect spot to explore the Cashiers and Sapphire area. Owners are super attentive and facilities are clean and well kept.
Patience Park Toe River Campground
Regular for us
We love Toe River. We stay here often. We even have a favorite site.
North Mills River
Close to home
We frequently visit this campground for weekend trips as it is close to us. It is easily accessible and does have areas for your garbage but there are no bathrooms which puts a small damper on a family visit. The water is pretty clear and has an abundance of trout so it is great for fishing and swimming.
Devils Fork State Park Campground
Great spot to family camp!
We had a very pleasant time at this campground. The water and bathrooms were close and clean which was great for the kids and our dogs to get water. The lake was a short walk and absolutely stunning! Crystal clear water allowed us to look at the schools of fish swimming with us. There are plenty of small mouth bass to be claimed as well! We will definitely be back!
Orchard Lake Campground
Great getaway
This campground has amenities for all types of camping styles. We will definitely be back!
Balsam Mountain Campground — Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Cool in the Summer!
Lovely drive up and drive down. Amazing climate during the hot summer. Lush forest near great hiking trails. Only 4 stars because the sites are close and the amenities are few. I still loved it though.
Cullasaja River Campground
Visiting
This is one of the most prettiest places on the River.Very nice and welcoming. They have very well maintained Riverfront. And have social events, and very Kind people such as Mr. Sandy. Very close to attractions ie on waterfall Byway! And IN the Forest,Beautiful store with local Gems.and Knitted items.Last but not least, Church gatherings.
Devils Fork State Park Campground
Nice campground
Overall, we enjoyed our trip to Devils Fork. The lake was beautiful, staff was friendly, sites were nice and spacious, bathrooms were mostly clean, or at least cleaned often. Had flush toilets and hot showers. SC state parks don’t allow alcohol so it was pretty quiet and no loud, drunk people. If you don’t have a boat or want to rent one, there’s not much to do. We had to drive to the playground. There’s only one trail. It was nice, but a one and done for us. Not as busy as we expected, maybe because the weather was iffy. Our campsite was designed for pop ups which was nice. Steep to get up, but flat once you got up it. Had a shortcut through the woods to the bathrooms.
Grumpy Bear Campground
Nice weekend getaway
Very nice place to camp. The bath houses are kept very clean. The owner is very friendly. The fishing is great and so is the environment. Already looking to book again.
Lazy J Campground
Great Last Minute Campground
My son and I decided to go camping and needed a place the same day. We were looking for a place that was wooded and near a river or stream and lucked up at Lazy J. The staff answered our call right away and were both friendly and informative. Our site was across the path from the French Broad, had water and power access and felt secluded and mountainous. The bath house was clean and well maintained. We really enjoyed staying here and plan to go back soon.
