Thousand Trails Green Mountain

Okay.So if you look at my reviews, I am a level nine master reviewer, and I never I repeat, never give one star.Reviews, but I feel this needed to be done.

First of all, we were told we could not show up after dark. They do not allow after hours check-in. Well, we had a full day in Asheville, going to the Biltmore, and upon returning it was dark. There are no signs at all showing you. There is a 1000 trails at the end of this dead end road. You come in the middle of the mountains on a very small TWO lane road, and again there is no signs letting you know. There is a 1000 trails campsite, right off of these mountain roads. You will miss it every time and sometimes the GPS does not work..

They have the thousand trails flags right up by the office.And I would highly suggest putting those thousand trails flags out by the road kind of funny.They say they don't take after our check.In and there's no way to let you know where it's at kind of fishy for a big company.!!!!

Now let's talk about the property holy moly guacamole...ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE CONDITIONS... THERE IS THREE BATHROOM SHOWER FACILITIES ON THE PROPERTY AND TWO ARE CLOSED.I WAS TOLD FROM ANOTHER SIX YEAR.TENANT, THAT THE BATHROOM'S HAVE NOT BEEN UPDATED SINCE THE OPENING OF THE PLACE!!

YUK!!!
SO THAT MEANS OUT OF 700 DIFFERENT SITES. EVERYBODY GOES TO ONE SHOWER AND BATHROOM FACILITY. I DIDN'T TAKE A PICTURE OF IT, BUT JUST IMAGINE.

THEY HAD A FLOOD EARLIER THIS YEAR.I BELIEVE IN JUNE WHICH MAKES IT SEVEN MONTHS SINCE THE FLOOD AND THE ROADS ARE DESTROYED.THEY HAVE CONES DETOURING YOU AROUND THE BROKEN ROADS, BIG GIANT HOLES POTHOLES, HUGE PLACES TO BOTTOM OUT YOUR RIGS, TREES FELL DOWN ON BUILDINGS STILL SITTING THERE.THE PLACE LOOKS LIKE IT WAS IN AN EARTHQUAKE!!!!

ON A GOOD NOTETHE LADY WHO CHECKED ME IN WAS PRETTY NICE.POOR THING, SHE WAS JUST DOING HER JOB.

TINY LOTS EVERYBODY'S SAUSAGE PACKED IN NO GRASS TONS OF UNEVEN GRAVEL VERY ONE STAR TYPE OF PLACE. IF THIS IS YOUR TYPE OF VIBE BY ALL MEANS PULL IN, BUT I WILL NEVER RETURN HERE AGAIN. AND ANYONE READING THIS KEEP GOING, MAYBE 7 MILES DOWN THE ROAD. A LOT MORE OPTIONS.

🗣PLEASE 1000 TRAILS. GIVE THIS PLACE A SALE OR FIX IT FAST!!!!
THIS PLACE MAKES THOUSAND TRAILS LOOK BAAAD!!!!

ok back to five stars reviews 🤢🤢

This is an older campground so of course the sites aren’t as large as the newer campgrounds around. The roads do need some maintenance but I think a lot of of that the damage was due to Hurricane Helene that completely devastated and destroyed most of the area in WNC, so unfortunately that is out of the campgrounds doing. It will take time & more revenue to completely restore what was lost.

This was a mini trip for my husband and I and I will say this, we absolutely loved this campground. We truly enjoyed the hiking trails and the views we were able to see on each one. It was so amazing to have so many hiking opportunities within walking of your campsite. It’s was a quiet, peaceful & relaxing trip for us.

The office personnel were very friendly.

DO NOT GO HERE! I've been a full time RVer for over 4 years - I've stayed in 100s of campgrounds- dozens of boondocking sites - only about 30 States but working on the rest- this is without a doubt the worst campground I've ever been in. You're taking your life into your hands getting down the 1 road to get there- very thin lanes with hairpin curves and idiots driving way too fast around curves - almost had a front end crash because the maniac came around a blind curve in my lane while I was going to get some food. 2 RVs have to drive on the shoulder and part into the drainage ditch to pass. And that road is nothing compared to the campground roads. A go cart race track looks like an Interstate highway compared to the ridiculous turns in the campground. And the map is useless - it says " not to scale" but it should say " unrelated to reality"! Roads that don't exist are on the map and roads on the map don't exist. I drove around trying to follow the map to get out first almost an hour until a couple of annual residents helped me and led me to the exit. There's no water in large parts of the campground - NO WATER! How do you live if you can't flush the toilet or wash your hands, much less cook??? There's NO CELL SERVICE! I couldn't even get satellite radio. The very overpriced campground WIFI sucks! This site's are so thin I needed to rub the deck with my right sides tires to have enough room to open my left side slide-out. The deck is decrepit- moldy rotten wood with rusty nails sticking out and moss growing on it.

The staff are really very nice, friendly and accommodating. However, the owners should be ashamed of the condition of the facility. There are 3 large potholes in the road that you drive into after crossing the bridge. The tree limbs are overhanging and WILL scratch the side of your rig. The park needs to have roads adequately repaired and the exits should be repaired or at least have correct signage. This park may have been a good park at one time but not at this time due to the deferred maintenance and corporate neglect. I would feel deceived if had bought into this membership.

This is an older campground with campsites for anything from tents to larger Class A motorcoaches. The good: has a great location in a valley with trees and big hills all around. There are 7 miles of hiking trails with moderate to challenging difficulty. There are some pretty good hills to climb. The views and wildlife are great! You hear Pileated Woodpeckers and all sorts of birds. There are deer around too and a variety of interesting plants and morels (mushrooms) the place is literally covered in rhodedendron bushes that will certainly be beautiful in the month of May or so. The okay: sites are mostly unpaved and not very level. Expect to have to add 1 to 4 inches on one side of your camper to get level. The water pressure was very high so I recommend you have a pressure regulator as to not damage your camper plumbing. The ugly: the facilities are in pretty bad shape with the exception of the very nice clubhouse. The putt putt is a 9 hole course with some challenges including a lot of moss and dirt on the surfaces. The tennis courts are definitely in bad repair and need resurfacing. Shuffleboard is also in bad need of resurfacing. The bath house near the 700 area had heat running all the time which made it a sauna and a haven for bugs and other animals. Some of the fixtures are out of order. Cellular coverage here is bad so don't expect to work or make phone calls unless you have satellite service or subscribe to the $8/day Internet Wifi they offer which honestly wasn't bad. I'd definitely camp here again but with lower expectations about the facility and because of the positive things like being unplugged from my phone and the beautiful surroundings. I'd like to end my review on a positive note with a request that whatever is needed to get this place in good shape be made known both to the patrons and to the Thousand Trails management. I believe there are good people out there who love to camp who would be willing to assist in some of the needed maintenance of surfaces as well as electrical, heating, and plumbing. A crew with a power washer and a few hours to resurface the shuffleboard court would be a good start. Would you be willing to offer free nights or weeks of camping in exchange for work? Let's be positive. I can only give 3 stars because that is honest. But the campground has great potential and a lot of positives.
