Best Cabin Camping near Taylorsville, NC

This is such a great campsite. We have tent camped, cabin camped and RV camped here on several occasions. The cabins are awesome and each site is nice and private with great tree and brush cover separating sites. The hiking trails at the campground are very impressive. They range from easy to challenging and it is nice that you dont have to leave the grounds to enjoy a nice hike.

Then, down the road you find yourself at the Apple Orchard off of the Blue Ridge, which is an absolutely charming place. It feels like a scene from a most perfect movie. 

Highly HIGHLY recommend this awesome campground/resort.

This KOA is RIGHT off of the interstate. If you are in midtravel and need a place to overnight this is a nice KOA for that. The camping cabins are cozy, we stayed in a single which has 1 dbl bed and twin sized bunk bed. Staff was very friendly. I wouldn't consider this a camping destination.

Bear den was a perfect location for the Blue ridge parkway. We stayed at a two cabin lot that had a hot tub. Bear den has everything from RV camp sites to a game room. There are private cabins a short walk from the camp sites. Lots of hiking trails, a fishing pond and a real bear den on site off one of the waterfall trails. The closest large city is Marion, but there are plenty of towns close by. The turn into the privately owned campground is off the Blue ridge parkway and there are multiple waterfalls, rivers, and viewpoints within 15 miles. A must see and stay!!

Great amenities, sites and activities. 2 pools and hot tub. Game room, store and grill. Spacious and level sites. Hiking trails and lake with small beach for swimming and fishing. Pet + horse friendly. Neatly kept. Kind and helpful host.

If you have low expectations of a RESORT, they won’t meet them. I was almost shocked that both pools would open on the Memorial Day weekend, almost. Adult, not allowed to have an adult pool I forgot, lower pool closed.
The hot tub is filled with concrete. The E bathhouse was closed due to no Hot water.
The lake has so much grass in it (used to stock with Carp) it’s scary to paddle on.
The lake has no peers, docks, benches and just a fraction of the beach it used to have.
Thousand trails, not so much since they cut the trees down. Oh, I forgot to mention, 80-ish camping spots where just added. That made for a very crowded…..everything.

We had a great time relaxing by the camp fire, hiking the trails, and enjoying some time away front town/city life. It was quiet, semi private, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Sites range from tent to cabin, with electric, water and on some sites, sewer hook up. We had a camper van. The site was leveled well, so no jacks were needed to level up the van. Hikes lead to overlooks and waterfalls, and some are quite strenuous. The ground sparkles with mica, giving it a reflective, magical appearance. We had a relaxing and fun time and recommend this for campers. AAA discounts apply, to make it downright cheap to enjoy a getaway.

We stayed with family and reserved a cabin. Our two family members reserved two RV sites.

The cabins were wonderful and I would highly recommend them BUT... there is no late check in, and we were not warned of that at all, so when we got in at 10pm no key was left for us to get into our cabin. We had to spend the night in my dad's RV on one of the foldouts- if he wasnt there; who knows where we would have stayed.

I do not really recommend the RV sites, I didnt like the way they had the waste lines set up, and i kept smelling raw sewage.

Once we were IN our cabin, I must say- it was one of the nicest cabins out there and the whole family hung out with is at our cabin site since it had more privacy, didnt have a sewage smell and then was right next to the lake/pond. We also rented a canoe and had fun canoeing around the pond/lake

Everything a small family with very young kids could need. We tent camped for two nights on the lower back end of the campsite, then rounded out our stay with one night in the cabin. The owners were extremely accommodating, since technically the cabin required multiple night's stay.

We stayed at Blue Bear Family Campground on Thanksgiving evening and the following weekend last year. The staff were extremely helpful, arranging items so we could come in Thanksgiving evening without disturbing their family time, at my request. It was me, my 2 dogs, 2 cousins, and my nephew. Our campsite didn't have any direct neighbors until Friday evening, and even then, they were not close enough to disturb us. The campsites are spread out well, and the owner showed me a few places they plan to expand, also explaining that they want to keep everything spread out to avoid the cramped camping feeling. The property itself has miles of trails available, although we didn't get a chance to test them out ourselves this trip. In addition to tent sites, Blue Bear offers RV sites, cabins, and teepee rentals as well. Blue Bear is a hidden gem that I cannot wait to visit in the near future for further exploration.

Very close to my home. I hike in to the remote campsite on the lake. Lots of fishermen and trash since the scum can’t seem to pick up after themselves. The cabins here are also great. Clean and nice location. I would suggest the overlook cabin. I generally tent camp and the Point, not many know of this location as it’s a decent hike in. Great place.

Let me start out by saying we stayed in a cabin, for a week. The place is in serious need of an upgrade but as it stands is still fun for the kids. The water slide costs 15.00 per day or you can do a family plan. The cabin itself was decent but nothing has been done to it in a while. The oven didn’t work, the wall ac’s barely worked and had large gaps where they didn’t care during install. Half the curtains were missing so it made it even hotter inside.

The staff was extremely nice and accommodating. Especially in the cafe try the everything ice cream

The pool area and pool itself could use some tlc but as I said before my kids loved it.

I would return with our pup and not stay in a cabin again. 6/10

pet friendly

This campground is literally in the Blue Ridge mountains. So be prepared for winding roads. We did this pulling a 31 ft camper. Also the drive going in and out of the campground is pretty steep and only a single lane. They say they have good wifi and cell service, Maury determined that was a lie! They Only have wifi at the store and bath houses. But if you are going to get away from technology, then this may be your place. I will say the blue hike to the waterfall was worth the 3 hour trip we took. It’s pretty treacherous but so worth it. Would we stay again? Nope! It’s very very close to other campers you can hear the other campers talk in their RVs. For it to be a campground in the Blue Ridge it sure has a lot of camping spots close together. We had a camper behind us in cabin and on both sides with nothing separating but a small ditch. The hike and waterfall was amazing though.

I had to clean my own cabin when we got there the owners were VERY RUDE

Perfect Cabin! Just needed a couple days away and was as good as I could hope for. Staff are great and helpful.

No hot water at bath house beware.

I LOVED bear den campgrounds, everyone was so nice and accommodating! We knew it was gonna rain but the last night we stayed it was gonna be none stop rain so we upgraded to a cabin and they were so kind!!! The waterfall was breathtaking and the hikes were hard which made me excited that it wasn’t a tiny trail but an actual hike!!! Would love to stay again! Bath house was perfect. Campsite store has things if you forget anything and I really hope I can’t find a sticker online cause I forgot to buy one!!! ❤️❤️❤️ would completely recommend a tent site or the cozy cabin both amazing!!

We stayed in one of their cabins for one night and came away with head to toe bites. The owners have been informed, but have not responded in any way.
