I stayed here three nights and didn't want to leave! As I walked to the camp store to check in, I…read morecould feel myself relaxing. I was greeted by a couple sitting in the rocking chairs on the porch. I think the winding road up the mountain and the driveway helped me realize how secluded this place is. There are only nine sites that are spaced far enough apart that you think you're the only person here! Each site is different than the others. The fire pits are amazing. You have to check them out for yourself! There are creeks everywhere. You can hear the water from every site (that's if you're not in a site next to one. Then you can see them also). There was thought put in to making each site spectacular. There are picnic tables, pads for tents, trees and posts for hammocks and awesome fire pits. There are hiking trails that lead up the mountain and into the Cherokee National Forest and around the property. You need to walk them to experience the beauty and the spectacular views! The bath house is like a large bathroom that feels like home! They even have blow dryers here to use! There are two sinks for dishes along with scrubbies and dish soap! The bath house or the camp store both have electrical outlets if you need to recharge batteries for your lights. Don't charge your phone! There's no need for that as a distraction! I will be back!

I've been to TONS of campgrounds. Most of them I thoroughly enjoyed. The only times I have not, had…read moremore to do with the other campers more so than the actually campground. But THIS one, this one is different from most. There are only a handful of campsites, but the experience is what I imagine would be how campgrounds "should" be before commercial ones started popping up, and laying campsites on top on one another to maximize profit. Yes the commercial ones also brought along nice amenities such as clean bathhouses and electrical connections to keep up with what folks in general expect these days... and that's when locally owned campgrounds had to follow suit or risk going out of business. Here... it goes back to how it was. No electrical connections. Privacy. Views. Isolation. A connection with true nature without having to hike miles and miles with 40+ lbs of gear. The camp store is based on a honor system, you get what you need 24/7. If nobody is there just jot down what you grabbed and it will be billed to you. It is packed with lots of custom made locally goodies, along with standard necessities (first aid, bug repellent, hygiene stuff, snacks, etc) and are priced too low!!! The bathhouse. The bathhouse. Oh man, talk about putting thought into it. Feels just like my own mountain getaway... in my imagination of course because I don't really have a mountain getaway. Well I do now, except I don't really own it. That doesn't stop me from wishing I had own it though. Anyway, this review is already way too long. I guess that's what a great camping trip can do to you. It brings out the peacefulness in you, and make you so content that you want to write a novel about it. I'm not recommending this place to all. I'm just recommending it to those that truly enjoy camping... and nature with only the things we need and absolutely nothing that we don't. Peace!

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!

Campground is new, clean, spacious and provides spectacular long range views and wide open night sky viewing.
