This is a great RV park that sits on the edge of a creek. Boyd was very knowledgeable, helpful and made you feel like family. Plenty of room to walk your dog. They have a swimming pool and weekly activities for the people staying here. It is a very clean and kept park. It sits in a valley and has beautiful Mountain View’s.
Heather Grow
While this campground is primarily occupied by seasonal guests, they are very welcoming to visitors. The atmosphere is very laid back. Mountain setting next to a Highway but the sound is drowned out by the relaxing sound of the creek. Campground pool construction is complete and pool is inviting and was never too crowded. We enjoy sitting around the community fire pit with other guests and getting to know our “neighbors”. The sites are on the smaller size but when you look at all the common areas available it doesn’t seemed cramped at all. Laundry and bathhouses were always clean. The close proximity to Dillsboro offers restaurants, breweries and shopping that are like none other.

Nice park. Gravel pull through lot for where we stayed. They had a nice creek, a small pond, a small pool, and a decent playground. The kids enjoyed the cool creek and the playground. It was too cold for the pool. They were willing to work with us some on getting in and out on our timeline as needed. We will be back!

Very nice rv park. Site 82's not very level for a large rv pass-through, but well taken care of park. Wish the entrance had some sort of lighting for night arrival.
