Black Bear Resort

1 ReviewAdd Review

Whether you're section hiking the Appalachian Trail or seeking streamside camping, Black Bear Resort accommodates various camping styles with tent sites positioned along a creek, RV hookups in the back section, and rental cabins throughout the property. The facility sits about an hour from Boone, North Carolina, providing easy drive-in access with stone walkways leading to different camping areas.

Staff members offer golf cart shuttles to help transport gear to the creek-side tent sites, where campers can set up close enough to hear water trickling throughout the night. The resort includes flush toilets, hot showers, and full RV hookups with electric, water, and sewer connections. For regional exploration, campers can find places to camp around Hampton or visit nearby Dennis Cove Campground for additional Cherokee National Forest access. Early June visitors report quiet conditions with minimal crowds at the tent camping areas.

Remote, quiet campground on the stream - options for the whole family!

Black Bear Resort was about an hour from Boone NC. We had come to camp and do some section hiking of the Appalachian Trail. This campground was nice in many ways - there was a variety of camping available, from different homes/cabins to rent, to a bunkhouse, RV sites in the very back of the facility and tent sites down by the stream.

We were camping in early June, it was very quiet - in fact, we were the only tent campers! We camped down by the stream in tents and hammocks - close enough to be able to hear the trickle of the water all night long!

When we first pulled in, we were greeted by a gentleman on a golf cart. He offered to help us shuttle our supplies to the creek. We were car camping, but able to carry our supplies easily on the stone walkways. We walked past the one room cabins (most had 2 sets of bunk beds inside) and down to the creek edge where we set up camp.

We loved this campsite, due to the close nature to the water, easy accessibility for swimming, flush toilets and hot showers, the lack of poison ivy (at least that we ran into) and remote feeling provided.

This campground is good for the entire family. My extended family that RV camps could have stayed here with us, as well as other friends and family who prefer warm beds in cabins and houses. We'll surely be back!
