The Best Camping Near Lake Junaluska, North Carolina

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 noises at times. 

Great Labor Day Weekend Get-away

Family own campground,  very clean, has two  fishing pound, a creek,  swimming pool, store and much more..

Very nice

This campground has everything you need in a campground. At first look, it seems like another typical RV resort with space only for large RVs and travel trailers. It does have spaces for large rigs, but it also has wonderful tent areas. Perhaps they are not as spacious as some of the state and national parks, but the spaces are neat and have the facilities you need. It also has cabins and other accommodations for those who do not want to camp outside. 

  

The bath house is modern with tile floors, and the showers are more spacious than some I have seen. The activities almost seem endless. Along with a swimming pool, there is a rec room, a mini golf course, basketball court, a covered shuffleboard court, a playground, and much more. For large groups, there is an indoor pavilion. 

  

The good thing about the tent sites is that they are beside Jonathan Creek, which provides the most wonderful sounds to sleep by at night. There are a lot of tent sites at this campground, which surprised me, but it is a huge campground compared to many others. 

  

As I stated earlier, it initially seemed like the typical RV resort, and that is because it is well-maintained with manicured lawns. This is one of the neatest campgrounds I have ever been to, and I mean that literally. 

  

The lounge is located in the same building as the laundry, which means you don’t have to sit in the same room as the washing machines while you are waiting. The camp store is more of a gathering place, although it does have supplies. It also has an ice cream shop in it, and you almost feel as if you are going back in time. 

  

I loved this campground and I highly recommend it.

Camping with Lots of Amenities near the Smokies

Nice campground, mini golf, quite after 9pm. Relax in chairs by the fire pit next to the stream. Nice dog area. Laundry area is clean. Park is clean. Staff is friendly. Couldn’t ask for a better place to stay. 

Relaxing

We've been boondocking a lot lately and just needed a dump site. But after seeing the place we decided to come back and stay the next time we needed to dump. The laundry facilities were nice. Spots are nice and level. The place is well maintained, and the staff is friendly. We were going to stay just one night to do laundry, but ended up staying for 3.
