"My only gripe (and I know it’s not a huge deal) is the trailer park situated right by the fence that separates from the KOA."
"Easy off the highway but far enough to be quiet. Lots of dining options close by"

"The only thing we would say is to be very careful if you’re up on one of the premiere Mountain View sites when you’re pulling your trailer down exiting the CG - it can be seriously steep and a tight turn"
"Nice creek running nearby and a few short walking paths. The drive to spruce pine is scenic and long but head back toward bat cave and there ade neat little adventures to have with the kiddos."

GuideWell I checked when peak leaf season was supposed to occur and what to expect from temperatures. I also appreciate information from those that camped here. We were in site B26 interior of the loop. Unfortunately we weren’t able to get outside loop from the showers to the end. Interior from the showers to site 21 were okay. Ours on the other hand was one of the worst we’ve had. You had a steep 7 step down to picknick table and firepit. It was also in a low sumac shrub area that had a distinct smell. Campground was clean and facilities were well maintained. NPS staff were present despite the current shutdown in Washington! Limited cell service at the site. Best just up the parkway to the Mt. Pisgah picnic area parking lot.
While we did hit peak color, I didn’t think that the cold front would be as intense. Temperature dropped below freezing and during the night it felt like gale force winds buffeting the GO. Definitely will pick a lower elevation for camping if it’s in October!
GuideAvery Road was closed so we ended up here. Not a whole lot of sites in the forest here. This site was fine, nothing special, but nothing bad. There’s a shallow creek that runs next to this spot.
TravelerWe have loved spacious skies. The campsites are well spaced and there are activities planned for the kids. The hiking trails were surprisingly nice and for a small campground. Everyone is friendly and family-oriented.
ScoutThe campsites were semi private and were well maintained. Bathrooms were nearby with clean showers. Tons of hiking trails with nice scenery.
ScoutThis park is conveniently located between Maggie Valley and Waynesville with access to lots of western NC attractions. The staff is excellent and cares about the campers' experience here.
ScoutThe staff here care about the campground and put their best effort towards being hospitable to the guests.
ScoutOwners are great and very helpful, sites are always clean and welcoming!
ScoutWe enjoyed the night/day with our kids! Sites are kind of small but absolutely beautiful surroundings. Zero signal, but can drive to the top of the road and you should get a bar to make a call.
ScoutGrass on lots high, nice concrete spots, full hookup in good shape.
