Outdated
Their website is from 2018. They have new owners and have let transit stay there campers look terrible. The place is really went downhill. It used to be really nice. Beware if you have a new camper. Looks like that newest campers like a 2010.

Don was amazing!
We originally came for the lil woody but as soon as we saw the tiny home we caved for that immediately! We had an great time and everything we could have needed right there! Don said we were his first people to book and seemed super excited! We’ll definitely be sending our friends and coming again ourselves in the summer if he’ll have us! It’s a bit of a drive out there with little to no cell service but wifi is available over the whole site! Definitely worth it with amazing views all around. Don also owns the land across the street with an beautiful creek he allowed us to explore.

What a great place.
This place is great. Wife and I stayed in the cabin. Owner of the camp is awesome. We had our own bathroom in the bath house. They also have big cabins, tent and RV spots. There is also a full size kitchen in the bath house. There is a e throwing, fire pit, ping pong, plenty of board games, tv’s, internet, great views, a small waterfall, and the best camp dog around (Gunner).

Riverside camping
This is a great spot located right next to USA Raft. There are a handful of tent only riverside camping spots with RV sites set back from the river. A short trail brings you to Cherokee Beach where you can swim and chill out, or float in a tube back to your campsite. Camp can get a little noisy if you are in the RV area though.

OKay stay
Very pretty place. However the host are on the rude side. From checking in to wanting to over do their jobs. They wouldn't say anything about the people yelling and screaming after 11pm but are fast to get people for small infractions

Quiet and Friendly
This is our 2nd time staying here for a quick overnight stay. I would definitely like to stay here longer! Even though it's very close to the interstate, it was very quiet. We had a full hook up site, relatively level. It had a picnic table and fire ring. Shower rooms, laundry room, and store, as well as snack shop! The camp hosts were very kind and friendly. Lots of walking around we area. We were in site B1 46 dollars a night.

The Little Campground
I put the rating in the middle bc I'm not sure what to say.
You MUST have a black tank to go there and you MUST hook up to electrical. No cassette toilets, no composting, no small rigs.

Amazing Full Hookup RV Sites tucked along the Blue Ridge Mountains
Jake from the Dyrt here! I would love to welcome Safe Haven RV to the Dyrt, among the highlights of this RV Park are the nearby forests & mountains, but also the full pavilion overlooking the water. Check them out and make sure to share some pictures from your stay!

Hot Springs Campground
Pretty and very walkable
We had a great time! The campsites were clean and well-maintained, although the sides were fairly close together. It was comfortable during the weekdays, but started to get crowded during the weekend. You can walk to the river as well as the town. Highly recommend the Hot Springs hot tubs, Big Pillow Brewing Co for food/drinks, and Artisun for coffee and gifts. Verizon signal very poor and the campground WiFi was borderline unusable. Great place to unplug and disconnect, however!

Mid-June Tent Stay
I stayed in site 33, which is tent-only. I enjoyed my time here! Almost every site was full, which I realized why later on. The rhododendron on the mountains were in full bloom! The amenities here were well kept and the campsite was large enough. There isn’t much privacy.

Little Oak Campground
Lovely Spot
Nice campground. Water views, but not every site has lake access. Poplar #63 didn’t have water access, but members of my group across the street allowed me to access the lake from their sites (60 & 62). The ire was flat. Directions to the site via navigation app were good. Road was in good condition. There was a bit of boat noise and some road noise. Generators shut down at 10, so that was nice. Watch out for the squirrels; they are sneaky and watching you. Don’t walk away with food on the table!

A slice of heaven
Hi! I’m Michelle and the proud owner of a side of a mountain in the Appalachian mountains! I’m in the process of building 4 cabins and one glamping tent. I’ve decided to open the property to campers that like camping off grid with a tent that want to be part of this area at an affordable price. Find your own spot in the mountain, there are plenty!

Small spots but pretty place
If you're staying in a tent, it has to be site 9. Every other site is super tiny, and the tent camping in general is very crowded. It is a nice Campground and very friendly but they are definitely trying to conserve space.
