Hidden Treasure in NC mountains

Looking for a full hookup hidden treasure of a campground in the Carolina mountains for the color change. Finding out we're a little late for reservations. Looked on RV Reviews and it seems all the good rated (8&10) are booked. Anyone have a suggestion?

    I've stayed there twice. It's my favorite place to stay in the mountains. The sites are level, plenty of room, hookups are good and it's convenient to the Parkway. If you belong to PA, it will be half price. The owner owns a large RV park on I-95 close to the NC/VA border. You should call him for reservations and when you get there, he has a system for you to pay by envelopes. The road that gets you there goes on to a Parkway entrance.


    How's the road noise? Looks like the sites are close to the road and there's no barrier.

    Do you still have your website? I tried to go to it and it said it didn't exist...

  • Try Cascade Lake outside of Brevard, NC. Run by the Cradle of Forestry, nice place on a small lake. Make sure and get a site by lake as they are full hookup.
  • Check the KOA's in Cherokee, Asheville, Boone and Fancy Gap Virginia (just across the NC line on the Blue Ridge Parkway). There are also several Jellystones (Cherokee & Lenoir). Mile High Campground near Cherokee has been getting some good reviews, but there are no hook ups. There are several Federal campgrounds on the Blue Ridge, but no hook ups. Stone Mountain State Park is a good one with water and electric.

    See if this link will work for you...each red dot is supposedly a campground.
  • I like the creekside sites at Creekwood Farm in Waynesville, NC near Maggie Valley. Close to Great Smoky Mtn NP.
  • Try Raccoon Holler in Glendale Springs. Right on the parkway!
