Nice Campground / Great Location

I picked this campground because it was very close to Blue Ridge Parkway. My plan was to ride my motorcycle through this beautiful area of NC, but the rain didn't cooperate this trip. I camped in site 112. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. This was a last minute reservation and they had limited availability. The site is not very level and very tight for my 32 foot RV. The site had full hookups (water, sewer, 30 amp electric) that worked great. I walked most of the campground and there are some great sites. Most are wooded and reasonably spaced. Quite a few long term campers, but the rigs and sites were all very well kept. At $64 per night it is a little pricey, for site 112, but probably not for the campground and area as a whole. No grill, just a tire rim for campfires and a picnic table.

Getting parked was a bit of a challenge to get things as level as possible and work around power stand and be able to get awning out to stay out of rain.

I would camp here again and recommend others give it a try. Lots to do in this part of the NC mountains.

Had fun for our first time in our new RV

This is a very large campground with a large percentage of permanent RVs.

Lots of people, very busy, but we had fun.

Website says no alcohol but we observed many people enjoying drinks just no making it obvious.

Heaven on earth!

This place was amazing! The staff was some of the nicest people you will ever meet. We stayed in site 115 on Friday-Sunday oct21-23 and it was bliss! There’s plenty of things for the kids and the adults to do there. It’s also a great place for photography with all the scenery! There’s plenty of swings throughout the campground for people to enjoy a long with basketball court, bourse shoes, fishing, frisbee golf, walking trails, a massive field that my daughter loved playing in. Also the area just outside of the campground has some amazing views! I can’t say enough great things about this campground!

Perfect for Families

Family-friendly campground with plenty of fun activities for kids. Playground, fishing pond, disc golf, recreation and game area, and ice cream trailer. Our site was nicely shaded and fairly level. Fire pit and picnic table at each site. There appears to be a lot of long-term residents but all sites were very well kept and the campground was very clean. The best part was the friendly staff!

Clean, quiet with a beautiful lake!

Raccoon Holler Campground is located just off of Hwy 16 near Jefferson NC, north of Wilkesboro. It is a beautifully maintained campground with single lane paved access throughout the campground. 

As you pull in, you see the lake on the right and pass the playground/teatherball area on the right as you approach the office. Just past the office is an additional building used for church/bingo etc. The tent campsites are thoughtfully away from the RV sites, yet most are closer to the road. Next time, we would choose to camp in the tent area inside the pine trees, near the disc golf course! 

This is a very clean campground that has everything the kids want! Basketball and volleyball courts, fishing, horseshoes and lots and lots of open space. The sites tend to be closer together than our family prefers, but for RV campers, or a last minute overnight, it would be ok. There are multiple bathhouses located throughout the campground and trash cans located at the entrance. Dumping trash was an issue while we were here- none on the ground, but the bins were overflowing- possibly due to high weekend traffic.
