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.
ScoutNice camp and staff friendly. We drive the Blue Ridge Pkwy which was a bit of drive but the ride up to Mt Mitchell was beautiful. Only negative was the laundry rooms were small for a large camp like this but I made it work. Probably a bit more challenging during busy season but all that said this is a nice campground
ScoutGreat camping spot! Road isn’t horrible going up but there are some rougher areas toward the end of the road. Gorgeous sunset and sunrise spot! Fire rings seemed fairly abundant at the pull offs.
TravelerAbsolutely one of the most beautiful campgrounds that we have visited, and super clean. Such a great location for hiking and viewing the Blue Ridge Pkwy!
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
Traveler3 stars only because it says water hookups but they are far and few between communal. No spigot at individual sites. Need long hose(s)to reach the connection. Good T-Mobile 5G but too wooded for StarLink. Quiet, shady, somewhat level sites were available. $20/night.
TravelerThe road was very bumpy but I got up on my 2WD Honda Odyssey. A couple people came during the day to take photos, but the night was peaceful. A couple campsites on the drive up, less secluded though. View was gorgeous and the sunset was amazing. Amazing spot for stargazing.
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.
Todd, North Carolina sits at a higher elevation of around 3,000 feet, providing a naturally cooler climate with summer temperatures typically 10-15 degrees lower than surrounding lowland areas. This mountain community, nestled along the South Fork of the New River, offers pet friendly camping options with sites that stay comfortable even during peak summer months. Many campgrounds in the area provide direct water access for dogs that enjoy swimming.
Trail hiking with dogs: New River State Park Wagoner offers several hiking trails accessible from the campground. "The park is spread out over several different, disconnected properties throughout the county which offered a lot of different recreational opportunities. The hiking at Wagoner Access was easy, but 221 and Elk Shoals were more strenuous," notes Chelsea B.
Creek exploration for pets: At Flintlock Campground, dogs can wade in the stream. "There is a beautiful mini river running through the campground with a lot of rocks to jump on. My children spent hours every day exploring," explains Robyn C. The shallow water is particularly good for dogs that are hesitant swimmers.
Morning walks: Early risers with dogs will appreciate the tranquil setting at Elk Knob State Park Campground. "This is a recent park and it still coming along. It is out of the way and relatively unknown compared to others in the area. Hiking trails around the campground. Water supply from streams," notes Bran P.
Cooler mountain climate: The higher elevation provides comfortable temperatures for active pets. "The elevation is high so weather is nice for those trying to escape the summer heat," mentions Kristen J. at Blue Bear Mountain Camp. Dogs that struggle in hot weather will appreciate the natural air conditioning of the mountains.
Space between sites: "The campsites are very spaced out," notes Kristen J. about Blue Bear Mountain Camp. This extra space means pets have more room to relax without feeling crowded by neighboring campers.
Stream access: Water-loving dogs appreciate creek access at several campgrounds. "There's a beautiful stream running through it. The people running it are very nice and since it right outside boone nc its very close to shops, restaurants and hiking trails," says Logan S. about Flintlock Campground.
Leash requirements: All area campgrounds require dogs to be leashed. The New River State Park enforces leash rules on all trails and camping areas.
Wildlife awareness: "This is in bear country so be sure to bring the proper equipment!" warns Bran P. about Grandfather Mountain State Park. Keep dogs secure and food stored properly to prevent wildlife encounters.
Terrain challenges: Many campgrounds feature uneven, rocky terrain. "Our camp site had a lot of rocks so it was hard to sleep at night. Would recommend taking an air bed," advises Vic B. about Grandfather Campground. This same rocky terrain can be tough on sensitive dog paws.
Kid-friendly water features: Honey Bear Campground offers creek access perfect for both kids and pets. "If you're into a bit of glamping. This place works! Good for kids - rootbeer float nights, outdoor movies with marshmellow pits, crerks to splash in," shares Karyn H.
Pet exercise options: Multiple campgrounds offer dedicated space for pets to run and play. "The campground also has a dog run, which our dogs loved. After being on the road for two weeks they enjoy every opportunity to get off leash and run," reports Steve V. about Honey Bear Campground.
Noise considerations: Some campgrounds are quieter than others. "They do a great job making sure the quiet hours are really quiet and no craziness happens," notes Amy P. about Honey Bear Campground, making it ideal for families with pets that are sensitive to noise.
Site selection: Choose sites away from main roads when traveling with pets. "Not what we expected. Small tight campground just outside of Boone, NC. Very tight sites. Many long term campers. Right on the main road (Rte 105). Tons of road noise," warns Kevin A. about Flintlock Campground.
Hookup access: For RVers with pets, Boone KOA offers full facilities. "Good sites, drain well, a little close, but will definitely be back. Bathrooms were clean and big. Temperature was very comfortable, didn't need the A/C in June!" reports Joe B.
Weather preparation: The mountain climate can change quickly. "The mountain setting provides natural terrain and cooler summer temperatures," which many dogs enjoy compared to hotter locations. Pack extra blankets for pets since mountain nights can be chilly even in summer.
