We had an absolutely wonderful experience. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The campground and bathroom/shower facilities were very clean and well kept! The campsites were not crowded which gave a lot of privacy but you still were able to be friendly with fellow campers. The beauty that surrounds each campsite is just breathtaking! I am originally from the area but had never camped there and now wish I had done this before! I highly recommend this campground!

Mills River is beautiful, quiet and clean. Many tent campers, many children, many dogs and many fisherpersons.

This is one of the most beautifully kept campgrounds. We also feel very safe here as the management is always on task. Bathrooms are clean. Even the pit toilets are in good condition. Beautiful campground with lots of places for kids to bike ride and wade in the river when it gets too hot. A good place for semi-glamping if you just want to sit and relax.

Nice small campground. Mostly tent sites and small (20') RV sites. Very shady, on the river. Shower house was clean and maintained. We would go again.

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.
