We did tent camping here,, the staff was awesome, the grounds were well kept and the bathrooms were always clean. There is alot to do from fishing to swimming, and lots in between. The camp sites were well kept and taken care of. Some of the things were a little challenging for handicapped people like the bathrooms and getting to the pool area but it was all manageable and still absolutely 5 out 5 would recommend for families or groups of friends. Just an all round great experience.

Spent 2 days at Spacious Skies Hidden Creek (failed to read the reviews first). Our first impression was not positive. As other reviews have pointed out, the place is dirty. Yes, there is trash left by other campers. Yes, the sites are overgrown. Our site clearly had landscaping at one point - beautiful flowers planted by someone - but it's being taken over by poison ivy now. Yes, there is putrid standing water. We've had a lot of rain over the last 2 weeks (we live close by), but it's unsanitary, and it smells. It's also clear that Hidden Creek hasn't fully recovered from Helene last year. The nature trail by the camp store is completely washed out, and the lake doesn't really have a proper bank anymore. It's just creeping closer and closer to camp sites with no apparent spillway to deal with rainwater. The first thing I noticed was that there were people wading through the knee-deep, disgusting standing water (come on, people), and the smell of marijuana. We talked about leaving first thing in the morning, but our youngest wanted to jump on the jumping pad and play on the playground, so in the morning we started exploring. And in spite of a really poor first impression, we actually had a great day. The water slide (which opened early) was awesome! I thought the pool was alright, too. Some reviewers complained about mold on the chairs, but it's a public pool. Put your towel down; you'll be fine. It was clean, and there was no strong chlorine smell. The camp store didn't have golf balls for the mini golf, which was disappointing, but the staff we spoke with throughout the day were all very, very friendly, as other reviews pointed out. We wandered up to the highest camp sites, and, yes, the long term campers are gross. There's trash everywhere at those sites. And no shade up there, but trees are planted and growing, so in a few years, I'm sure it'll be better. This place has a ton of potential. Spacious Skies needs to invest some money in restoring the landscaping, including around the playground. And get the drainage issue fixed, especially with the lake. It needs a proper bank, and it needs someplace to spill over (maybe where the nature trail got washed away). There's no excuse for a 35' travel trailer to be sitting (sinking?) into a mud hole, or for families to have tents set up next to week-old standing water. Clean up the overgrown areas, and hold your long-term guests to some standards. As much as we paid to stay here for 2 days, I expected much better.

We just got back from a stay at Spacious Skies Hidden Creek and had an amazing time! This campground is packed with fun for the whole family. The waterslide and pool were a huge hit with our kids (and us, too!), and they loved the jump pillow, playground, and biking around the campground on the paved roads—super convenient and safe for kids. We also enjoyed the paddle bikes and canoes on the lake, and there’s great fishing, a well-stocked camp store, and even laundry facilities that made things easy. The campground is clean, well-maintained, and had a friendly, laid-back vibe. If you’re looking for a place that keeps the kids entertained while still feeling peaceful and relaxing for the adults, this is it. We’ll definitely be back!

This campground was super fun. The water slide is the best part! The pool water was not super clear but clean enough for the kids to enjoy. We have a pop up and camped in C13. It was nice - shaded, close to the shower/toilet, easy to get in to. The kids also enjoyed the play ground, gem mining (cost extra) and put putting. The showers have a passcode to get in so make sure you ask for it when you check in. We will definitely be back again.

What a great trip. We at the last minute changed from a tent site to a cabin and they were more than accommodating at changing our reservation. The cabin was clean and spacious even with 8 of us on the trip. There was plenty of fun things for our family. My kids loved the jumping pillow and the canoes and paddle bikes. Will definitely be making a return trip.

We stayed at Hidden Creek for 3 nights. The location is beautiful, the campgrounds are beautiful, and the staff are the friendliest and most patient I know! Just know that some sites are a bit uneven and for some rigs they really would be problematic. The team got me in to a spot more suited for my rig and it worked out perfectly. Fun to see the ducks at the pond and there isn’t much light pollution so the night sky views are really wonderful! Short drive to Saint James State Park (Catawba) which is a stunningly beautiful park with great trails and breathtaking views we and our dog really enjoyed. 20 minutes or so to Black Mountain which is a terrific little town, and about 40 to Asheville (and 12 Bones BBQ which should be on your bucket list)! Recommended - we’d go back when in the area again for sure!!

Let me tell everyone about this campground I drove through today . Hidden Creek Resort. Well it is far from Resort. Hoping to love it like I did when I was a kid. It is a campground I have been going to since I was a kid. I was excited to let my kids experience what I did as a kid. Well I was way wrong. This place has very rude people working there. Very trashy spots. The pond Is filled in from ware it has not been taken care of. Had to use the restroom it was nasty. The roads are sooo bad on the very top no gravel just mud. I almost got it by a car I am talking like inches from me because it was flying through the campground. Come to find out it was the Maintenance Supervisor that was driving like that. I have heard through the grapevine that it was this way since the new Maintenance took over and alot of people are very unhappy . 🙁 Well from what I saw it is very true it is a mess. Breaks my heart to see this happen. I must say they need to step up their game.
