    If I could give zero stars I would! Sites over grown. Amenities not open and the website doesn't say they have specific hours. Not to mention the NEEDLES IN THE BATHHOUSE. I went to the bathhouse at 7am!!! No one was at the front desk so I call corporate. No one from the campground responded until 10:30 and didn't even clean the bathroom. Devin from the front desk even agreed that No one with a diabetic issue would leave open needles in the floor. So stop using that as excuse. Shut this place down immediately!!!!

    I have an RV ...I do not tent camp...I did not use any bathroom facilities but can say the RV spots are quite nice and the staff there is friendly, helpful and very sweet. They have seasonal spots too which is a plus. The overlook is pretty and has great views of the mountains...someone complained about its lack of trees but honestly you don't need huge huge trees where people are trying to drive and pull the 50 foot RVs....common sense...It's a camp ground...take it for what it is...

    Camping is fine. But the water sucks! The fish look terrible and besides, there are dead fish floating here and there along the banks. The restrooms look like crap and need to be cleaned better, the showers need to be sterilized with bleach and a way to keep the water from running all the way back to the door and the water needs to be regulated better between to he hot and the cold. The service at the front desk needs to be better as well. This is the last time I come here to camp.

    Ditches caused by storm damage weeks earlier.

    Just because they have spots for large 5th wheels doesn't mean getting in and out without damage is an easy task. We stayed in section B for an extended Labor day weekend with 5- 5th wheels and 1 large t.t. The un-repaired storm damage made both pulling in and out very difficult for seasoned campers. The park is dirty. Trash lays around and bees are an issue. Yellow jacket traps and a couple trash cans would solve these issues. The pond is much smaller than the pictures would have you believe and the water is very dirty. The pool at the bottom of the water slide is a brown and disgusting. The same cars of the full timers run in and out enough to draw attention and remove any peaceful atmosphere from the evening. And when they say "no refunds " they mean it. One of the members of our group needed to cancel weeks in advance for bypass surgery. They were given a voucher for an upcoming stay that will never be used and rented the site to other travelers. Another paid the extra $35 for the drive through site. They needed to switch with another to allow a larger toy hauler. Rather than allowing the 35. to be applied to the toy hauler they charged both and offered a voucher for amenities, which of course were never used. Here's the good... the view. If you walk to the top the view is beautiful. If you walk the trail in the woods it's cool, peaceful and lovely. One last note, someone may want to check the offensive odor (something dead) on the road just past section B, 1st or 2nd camper on right.

    Our view for the weekend after first giving us a site that was already rented by a full time resident! Nothing offered to make it up to us!

    I had a travel trailer and was traveling with my sister and her husband with their large 5th wheel…read more We were in spots 2 & 3, by the entrance, across from the office for 4 days and 3 nights. It was very clean and well maintained, level gravel lots overlooking the river behind us, where we would see ducks and fishermen. We remarked on how the maintenance person seemed to work around the clock...mowing, fixing, making improvements. I introduced myself to him and told him we were talking about how he seems to be working constantly. He introduced himself as Claude. He was proud of the new very clean bathhouse, and was working on a park/game area, with plans to build some cottages for rent. There are trails going around the park, into the woods, and along the river. There is a small beach area where you can put in a float or kayak or whatever if desired. The 5th wheel needed to be repaired. We found a great, inexpensive mobile RV repairman after others said they couldn't get to it for days and it would be an expensive repair. Randy, who owns Blue Ridge Mobile Repair in Marion, came over as soon as he finished the job he was on. He worked in the rain for several hours to make the repair, and charged under $200! Amazing! Our only complaint was that the internet did not work...it kept timing out. Otherwise, it was a perfect place for us while we visited the emerald mines.

    What a nice surprise! We planned a weekend at Mountain stream to finish a 10-day camping tour…read morethrough the region - started in GA, then in TN, finishing in NC... Stumbled on this park because it was located near the Blue Ridge Pkwy and some of the mountain ranges and waterfalls we wanted to explore. We arrived at Mountain Stream on a Thursday afternoon, and Gena was able to check us in quickly and gave us some great advice to getting our 40' long Toy Hauler fifth wheel into lot #3. (Pro-tip: when the owner gives you advice to get into a spot with a large RV, take it... She was spot on with the recommendation.) When we made the reservation several months ago, lot #3 was identified as creek front with no deck, but they recently built a new deck on the creek so that was an added bonus. We were able to set up with both our RV back patio and the spot's RV deck for what was described as a "double decker" by Kevin (also the owner of the RV park). It worked out great for us to be able to sit over the creek on our patio and to use the deck with picnic table for some of our meals. Nice quiet park, with a clean and well kept appearance. They really are putting a ton of work into making it a nice experience for their guest. The shower house bathrooms were clean. It's clear that they are continuing to improve on the park- adding 4 yurts which look like they'll be ready for occupancy soon, as well as a couple of "Imagine" travel trailers for rent. The social pavilion looks pretty recently built, with a large TV w/satellite service (Kevin mentioned the area is packed in football season), a nice fireplace, and plenty of tables. The dog play area is well fenced off and clean, and a good spot for the doggos to do their business. On Saturday, they host a BBQ social- Kevin starts preparing his special pulled pork butt on Thursday so by Saturday night it is so tender. Some of the best pulled pork we have ever experienced. Ever. Like, championship quality pulled pork. Bring your own sides to share with the other guests of the park and make some new friends! A couple of side notes: 1. The road coming up to Mountain Stream is a narrow switch-back type of road... Take your time, it gets treacherous with a large rig, and there are oncoming logging trucks that travel faster than they should 2. We use Verizon cell phones; Verizon has NO cell service within the park so if you need phone service you might want to prepare for people to communicate with you in other means. 3. The internet is pretty limited- the free wifi has enough to send/receive emails, Facebook scrolling (slow) and Facebook Messaging... There is a paid "upgrade" option available, but it's still pretty slow- not enough to stream video or do intensive uploads/downloads. We'll definitely be back!

We spent 2 nights here and loved our site, the deck over the rushing stream was a perfect place to sip coffee in the mornings and whiskey in the evenings. The dog park gave our pup the chance to run free, the clean bathhouses gave us a place to freshen up and the location gave us the ability to explore all Asheville had to offer, climb to the top of Mount Mitchell (the highest point East of the Mississippi) and just enjoy the surroundings. Our site had a full hook up, electric and water (even with temps in the low 20's at night), we had a fire ring (or square), a picnic table perched on the deck, cantilevered over the stream, and lovely (back-in) site with privacy and shade. We can't wait to come back.

We prefer the river sites personally for the views & fishing. The campground owners are fantastic people who've become friends. They live on site and take great pride in the property. The property is always impeccable. They are always working. Such a gorgeous place!! The pond is in the center of the property - yes you can fish (catch & release). Areas setup with hammocks, corn hole, seating, etc. The new playground has been a big hit! Oh, and there's also a dog park area. The bathhouses are super clean and have air conditioning. The laundry room is brand new with great units and also A/C. They incorporated additional activities this year over at the pavilion which our family has loved! Bingo, tie-dye t-shirts, food trucks, live music, and more! Our grandson loves to join us. Lots of kids and a great area for them to all play. Tubing the river is always a fun treat! You can bring your own tubes or rent from the campground. The camp store has expanded and features a great mix of items - t-shirts, hats, hoodies, koozies, and more. As well as local jams, rubs, and other treats. They're in the process of building a new office/camp store so we're excited to see this complete. We have a 40' fifth wheel. No problems every getting in. They accommodate all size rigs. All sites have a concrete pad, fire pit and very nice large picnic table. Sites are spacious and do not feel cramped like we've experienced at other campgrounds. Wi-Fi is generally pretty good. We've been able to work remote on some of our trips. We even had phone service our last trip (AT&T)! Lots to do in the area! Hiking, Linville Winery (yum!), Linville Caverns, Grandfather Mtn and so many other great places. The office staff can certainly provide plenty of recommendations, too. There are 2 grocery stores in town about 15min away. There's also a local dollar store about 5min away. We cannot say enough good things about MRFC. We've met some great campers there who we now call friends. We truly love this place and already have bookings for next year!

    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.
