What Guests Are Saying
Beartree offers a pleasant camping experience with good privacy and a clean bathhouse, complemented by warm showers and a friendly camp host. Although there is only one shower per gender, the campground's low occupancy made it manageable. However, some guests noted that the bathroom facilities include a pit toilet.

Would have been 5 star had we not had to deal with port-a-potty.....and web site said water hookup....there was no water hookup. Had to hand-carry water to camper. Also, no lantern post on site 35.

Have stayed at Beartree many times. It’s convenient to Damascus. I recommend this campground. It is generally clean and quiet.
Downside of this visit was that the three bath houses on Chipmunk Circle were all closed due to maintenance issues. Have never encountered this before. We were able to access other bath houses in a different area, so all was not lost.

Beautiful location, easily accessible to good hiking trails. Camp manager was nice and helpful. Good sized campsites with privacy provided by rhododendrons. Definitely recommend!

Older campground. Very rustic, & quiet with no hookups. The only negative was the dump station was "not working". Had to leave with full tanks! :(

Great place to camp before or after riding the Virginia Creeper Trail. The bath house needs some maintenance (the door to the toilet stall was literally rotting off its hinges) but basically works.

The men's and women's sides of the bathhouse were closed. We had to make do with a single porta-potty with no hot water for our side of the campground. Sure hope this is addressed before we go again.
