This is a cute campground. Brandie treated me with pure kindness but the last day another lady was…read morethere that wouldn't give me her name and claimed she was the owner. She treated me horribly, accused me of playing games with her after I even agreed to pay extra for any inconveniences. The inconvenience for her was me coming into the office and asking if they had any spots open this week due to cancellations and the friend I had purchased the area for was still there after 11am. She made fun of my friend and threatened to call the law on her. It is a shame this "owner" treats people like they are subhuman. I paid well over $115 for only 3 nights stay. All you get is a plug to hook up phone and a water spigot for that much money. It is a lovely campground but with ownership like that and the price, it's not worth it. I don't understand why people have become so cruel that simply being kind is out of their ability. And especially anyone that is in the business of serving the public, they should always choose empathy and kindness because you never know what anyone is going through. This place doesn't even deserve two stars.

I stayed here several nights. I saw no one, even though I arrived during office hours. The…read moreself-check-in process is pretty easy, pick a campsite, fill out the form, paper clip your cash to it and put it in the box. However, this campsite has some serious issues. There is one bathroom, which has one toilet, just one. And this is for about a dozen campsites. Likewise, there is just one shower. At least the shower can be accessed separately while someone is on the toilet. While the bathroom was clean when I arrived, it was never cleaned nor the trash emptied during my stay. Fortunately it was just me staying there (and now I know why) so it was just my dirt I suppose, but I would have at least appreciated someone sweeping it out. While some of the campsites are not too unappealing, others are not desirable at all. They are accessed from a one-way road with nowhere to pull over to let someone pass. I even had to clear a sizable limb from the road just to be able to enter the tent camping sites. In fact, I thought no one lived on site from the lack of maintenance and lack of anyone around, but it appears they actually live in the house where the bathroom is. Yes, and the bathroom is a bit of a hike from the campsites, down a badly scalloped steep gravel road (which tested my vehicle's traction control driving in). There is neither water nor trash bin at the campsites, although I did see a water pipe laying on the ground, disconnected. The only trash bin is in the bathroom, which could get pretty nasty filling up with food scraps. Or are we just supposed to throw them into the next campsite? Who knows. The water has a yucky metallic taste. The toilet bowl is stained yellow from the water. Not too appealing. The last straw though, is the dogs. Either the owners or their neighbors own an outside dog, who starts barking whenever anyone creeps up on the bathroom in the middle of the night. Apparently no one told him this is supposed to be a campground. One night he even appeared from the shadows at the end of the building. I really don't feel like getting bit by Cujo in the middle of the night on my way to the bathroom. And the dogs (this one and others) barked and howled (yes howled) at all hours of the night (even at 2 or 3 am). I stayed here because it had a hot shower. However, I am not planning to return. Next time, I will either forgo the shower and stay at Crabtree Falls campground, or stay in the Pisgah National Forest.

If you've ever wondered what happens when a campground gives up on being a campground but still…read morecharges resort prices, welcome to Lake James Campground and Marina -- a masterclass in unmet expectations. Let's start with the grounds: mowing appears to be an optional hobby rather than a maintenance task. Weeds regularly reach over a foot tall, yet management is quick to blame everything from the weather to property ownership rather than simply getting the grass cut. It's a perfect metaphor for the whole place -- neglect wrapped in excuses. As for amenities, calling this a resort is comedy gold. There's a small, perpetually crowded pool that's the only semblance of recreation. Beyond that? Nothing. No playgrounds, no activities, no amenities for kids -- unless you count watching the weeds grow as entertainment. The "main office" doubles as a ghost town; there's no store, no supplies, and certainly no service. The showers and changing rooms only operate during pool hours, which means forget early showers, late rinses, or any kind of off-season use. And the mountain side? It's an oven with no tree cover -- a sunbaked slope that feels less like camping and more like punishment. But the crown jewel of disappointment here is the management. The manager, Bridgette, has turned poor hospitality into an art form. Unless you're in her inner circle, expect hostility instead of help. Any mention of the park's shortcomings is met with denial or name-calling -- everyone's a liar except her. Fees appear out of thin air, rules shift without warning, and enforcement feels more like harassment than management. We were even chastised for having kids' toys and outdoor furniture -- apparently joy is a violation here. Before booking, I strongly encourage anyone to read the management's responses to other negative reviews. Notice the pattern -- rather than addressing issues, she calls the reviewers liars. I'm sure this one will be no different. If you're looking for a peaceful camping getaway, keep driving. If you're nostalgic for the charm of a retirement community run by a vindictive HOA that accidentally allows children, you've found your paradise. Lake James Campground and Marina could be something special -- but until the management and maintenance rise to even basic standards, it's a cautionary tale, not a destination.
