We took our Scouts here to camp over the weekend and had a very bad experience with the staff…read more Between the Scouts and there families we rented 3 cabins and 1 camping trailer and 1 tent site. Before one of our couples arrived the office staff came and told us that somehow they had double booked their cabin, so they were going to put them in a trailer they did not rent out. Well when they got there and the staff was confronted they had lied to us . They had double booked a different site and took one of our cabins to fix their mistake. So they had give our cabin to 5 collage aged boys who were drinking. So we as parents did not feel safe letting our Scouts of 13 and younger stay in their tents with boys drinking and who knows what else beside them. So when the couple and our Scout assistants went to talk with the staff to see what we could do the staff was really ugly, rude and very nasty with them would not compromise in any way with them. We had already paid so they said we could do whatever we needed to do but we WAS NOT getting a refund for anything. So the scouts ended up sleeping with their families instead of getting to camp like they had planned. So if you are looking for a family oriented and safe place this is not the campground you want to stay in. This campground staff are liers , rude and very ugly attitudes and could not understand why we had a problem with them lieing and not refunding money for a site that we didnt get to use because of their mistake. This is a very poor attitued for a place that you are giving your money to and expect to be treated kindly.

They have gorgeous spots right on the river and I could hear the river as I slept and it was so soothing!! The owners are wonderful people and really want campers to enjoy every aspect of their stay. They came out when we came in to help us back camper in our spot. It's very close to town like 5 min drive but felt out in country. Our spot had a picnic table and fire pit. They have a pretty good size bath house with vending machines and at as use washers and dryers which would be good for long stays! Shower stalls were individual bathrooms for privacy .. updated and very clean. We came before Halloween and it had decor for the holiday.. you could stay in camper, they had cabins, and tepees for unique stay. Most were damaged by storm but will be ready for following year. I thought that was really interesting.. i read reviews from previous years about wifi being terrible but we didn't have that issue. We didn't really spend all day at campground we came to see and spend time in the area so we were only using wifi at night and in morning with coffee. I would highly recommend this campground.. it was a great stay and I hated to leave.

We were just passing back through Bryson City over the Fourth of July weekend after camping all week. We stopped to do laundry and figured we'd see if anyone had a campsite available. Another campground recommended we call Kirkland's, and we're so glad they did. Jason was one of the most welcoming and accommodating campground hosts we've ever met. He returned our call quickly, let us know he had a few sites available on a first-come, first-served basis, and made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. We weren't able to get a creekside site because we booked last minute, but honestly, that didn't matter. You can hear the beautiful creek throughout the campground, and the peaceful atmosphere is exactly what we had been looking for. One of the things we loved most was the location. It truly feels like you've driven 30 minutes into the mountains, away from everything, when in reality you're only about 12-15 minutes from downtown Bryson City, the grocery stores, and the local produce stand. It was the perfect balance of convenience and seclusion. The campground is spotless, with clean bathhouses, laundry facilities, water and electric hookups, firewood, ice, and even a trout pond where you can fish. The sites felt private despite the campground's cozy size, and the mountain views peeking through the trees made it even more special. Jason was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and gave us fantastic recommendations, including where to enjoy a safe and relaxing tubing trip. That local advice made a huge difference in our visit. We also loved meeting the campground's sweet dog and friendly cat--they added even more charm to an already wonderful place. If you're looking for a campground that's quiet, peaceful, welcoming, and genuinely cared for, this is it. We left feeling like we'd found a home away from home. Whenever we return to Bryson City, Kirkland's Creek Campground will be our first call. Thank you, Jason, for your incredible hospitality. We can't wait to come back!
