Camp ground is nice and clean. Great place to go thatβs not to far out of the way but is still out of cell service and allows you to disconnect for a while and enjoy some good family time.

very pleasant environment. we had no issues with any quiet times. very convenient to be a short drive away from the well stocked grocery store. short distance away from good hiking and the blue ridge parkway.

Camphost was very nice and delivered firewood to our site...Bathrooms were clean and the sites were nicely shaded. Lots of biking and hiking in and around the park....want a workout....take National Forest rd all the way UP to Blue ridge parkway.....5+miles of climbing...but ride back down is so worth it!

Fantastic location. Beautiful. Quiet. No cell service. Loved the close river access and walking trails. Some sites arenβt designated correctly (not correct measurements for trailers). We had to move sites. On site manager was helpful with finding alternative sites for our reservation window.

Great campground. Host are great and always available. Clean bathroom and showers. This campground is on Mills River. You can hear the stream from almost all campsites. Trout fishing here is good but check regulations before fishing. There are many attractions close by like the Biltmore House and Blue Ridge Parkway. The host can answer your questions about the local area. We enjoyed our stay.

Policies & Rules
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
