    I know your campground has been devastated from the hurricane. I want to reserve a few spots even…read morethough you're close I would like to know how I can reserve some spots and pay for them now that way it will help get you back opened up. We're so sorry this has happened to you. Everything I have heard about your campground is absolutely spectacular And I hope someday I can visit. God bless you and I hope the sun stays shining for you.

    We have been staying at Mtn River for about 3 years now and it's become 'home away from home'…read more You have your choice of river or mountainside sites. 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!

    Mountain Stream RV Park

    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!

    This place is lovely, an idyllic setting, wonderful hosts, very clean facilities, and a great…read morelocation to explore the area. 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.

    Blue Ridge Ranch - The "fork" in Stoney Fork Creek

    Blue Ridge Ranch

    I had to calm down after my visit at blue ridge ranch before I wrote this review…read more The ranch itself and staff members were great. The owner himself ( Troy) was absolutely inappropriate with comments he made to our family especially considering he claims himself as a Christian and that God himself told him to make this property a ministry "hope for his children". My biggest concern is the integrity of the owner (Troy). There were several comments made during our Fathers Day trip that was completely out of line and absolutely not taken out of content as he indicated in a response to my sister Hope Londerees review. In fact we left early bc of it. Although it would take too long to write every detail of the conversation, Here's what was said: Upon the arrival of our dad and mom, there was a conversation that occurred at the welcoming and Troy told my dad he he heard it was his birthday (which it wasn't and no one even said it was) but that he (Troy) was having "strippers" come! (Totally left us uncomfortable and questioning- uh that was weird) The second uncomfortable encounter was when we were about to take the tour and he came over to our golf cart and in a conversation about my moms cancer, he said he knew a cure for cancer and went in and he gave my mom a big hug, hiding her tight, (it was totally awkwardly and unsolicited) and proceeded to tell my dad that "she's a keeper and he better watch out bc he's going to steal her from my dad". (This comment felt very awkward and especially made more sense with the comment later to come that night to my dad!) The third issue was said directly to my 13yo daughter when we were all having conversation in the outpost about life and success.. even when Troy's wife was present in the outpost (which tells me she's fully aware of his behavior and the controlling/demanding demeanor). He asked my daughter as he leaned into her "would you do anything I tell you to do", and as she looked at him awkwardly he proceeded to ask her, " do you trust me". - that comment immediately brought a RED FLAG to me as a mother that a grown man, that my daughter does not know asked such a question of her! If fact I called out the comment and praised her for saying no to him and later she let me know she was fully uncomfortable with him and didn't want to see him the remainder trip. Troy was challenging my daughter to read a book and get back with him about it for a free night stay. (does this not scream WATCH OUT FOR THIS GUY! What's the intentions?) The last draw- the power in the valley went out and Troy came up to our RV's (half drunk) and when we discussed if an "emergency" was needed they had a backup generator, I commented that it's just my folks have c-paps and with moms cancer we don't want her to get hot... Troy proceed to say, "You know what, it just occurred to me, (looked straight at my dad) She can just come sleep with me!" WHAT???? Are you kidding me? The audacity of this guy! I had enough! I called him out.. told him how since we had been there he's said nothing but disrespectful comments to our family and the fact that he's calling himself a Christian and saying that this place.. and the "Hope for his children" non- profit was Christ based, that he was not representing it at all. I told him how we would not be back again. I walked off and so did TROY. Our three family's there decided to pack up and leave the next day. We had enough of the disrespect from the owner. During our discussions we determined we were pretty sure that the wife and staff was fully aware of Troy's demeanor as a man and what is so sad is that families drop off your kids here for camp and trust this place to care for their children. All I can say is all of us felt in our Spirit something is not right! If Troy (the owner) wasn't present and the comments weren't said then otherwise we'd say that the place is beautiful and lots of great memories can be made. This trip was not so pleasant for us and left a bad taste in our mouth for a "ministry" that was run by a man with lack of integrity.

    Southern hospitality at its best and the views are breathtaking…read more Clear, cold stream. Ponds, waterfalls, hiking trails and while you're here you can treat yourself to fresh goods from the store. All year round there's something beautiful at BRR.

    Blue Bear is by far my favorite campground. Not only is the weather so much cooler in the summer…read morethere (70-80 in July!), it's just a wonderful, down to earth place to be. The owner is great and the host (Mike) is beyond amazing! We've been camping there for 8 years and love it more each time we go. The camper spots are very spacious and C1-C3 are completely shaded. C3 is the best by far! But you have to book early because C3 is very popular! Some things to know before you go! They do not have water hookups at the sites - you fill your camper tank with water at the office area. They have spots with electric hookups. They have a dump station where you can empty your tanks on your way out. This is a simple & beautiful campground. There are trails to walk/hike, mountain view to see, bathhouse with 3 bathroom/showers, and one with just a bathroom. This is by far the cleanest bathhouse I have ever seen. They show great attention to this campground and make sure all their campers are happy. You can also purchase wood at the office. There are a few t-shirts for sale at the office, as well. If you haven't checked it out, you are truly missing out! This is a great place with great people!

    This is a beautiful place and the owner and staff are such great people. This is the best…read morecampground I've ever stayed. Whether the leaves are changing and falling or snow is falling and covering the ground, or you're looking up at the night sky, there are always breathtaking views and memories to last a lifetime. I love this place
