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.

Stayed on spot 5 in the chipmunk loop (best spot there is) and it was wonderful the weather was perfect. It was the busiest I’d ever seen but i guess the month October with the Virginia Creeper trail is a popular time. Highly recommend!!!

Wonderful campground and very nice hosts. Would have been nice to get a hot shower, but at least we got one.

Love this campground for the privacy created by the rhododendron forest. Relatively clean facilities, great mountain roads for drivers and excellent forest sauntering for hikers.
