We stayed at the Mountain View cabin and booked through AirBnb,…read morethe campground is closed during the winter months, but they still rent out the Mountain View cabin because it has a full bathroom inside. Rode the Doe Mountain Recreation Area on our SxS while we were there on our stay, trail access is only about 1/2 mile down the road from the campground and is accessible by UTV or ATV. Campground is only about 20 mins from Mountain City and has great food options at very reasonable prices. Side note: Campground does have a very tight entrance to the property, some longer campers or trailers my have some difficulty getting in across the bridge to the campground.

The atmosphere is very laid back. Pets are welcomed. Everyone was so friendly. It was a great, central location to visit so many beautiful places in both TN and NC. Our favorite part was the relaxing tube rides down the creek everyday. We loved it so much we added three days to our trip.

Park rangers don't do anything, it's a very uncomfortable environment when the park rangers are barking orders without having any work done themselves, at least through my observations. The maintenance crew also seems to slack off on occasion on the bathrooms with the lifeguards cleaning the stalls?? I will be returning but I don't expect the staff will to be very helpful.

We wanted to spend time hiking in Grayson Highlands & were late to the game on Labor Day weekend & all the camping was booked. After some digging we found this place & it was about 25 mins from the park & an easy drive. If you have ATT there is no service. We lost it about 30 mins before arrival. Our GPS still worked & it was nice to unplug but just a heads up. The important highlights: -Bathrooms are clean & well maintained. -Showers are hot & we never had to wait. -Must pay in cash -Dog friendly. My dog could be offleash & run around. No major roads around & very laidback. -The sights are right by the water so you can hear the creek & the views are nice -each site has a picnic table & firepit. The campsites are pretty close which was hard when 3 carloads with about 15 people showed up & made camp at the site next door. They weren't particularly cognizant of their noise levels & we couldn't sleep until around 11 when I finally went out to ask them to please keep it down. They only stayed one night & that's just par for the course sometimes with camping. The next night was much quieter & we slept great. All in all a great campground. An hourish from Boone & Blowing Rock. Bring supplies in as there aren't any major grocery stores around. Would stay there again if we were in the area.

Children 12 and under are required to wear life jacket for safety. The guide who was a summer intern was friendly, knowledgeable and very capable of handling the barge. On the drive in we saw one deer grazing. Parking is $7 per car and the barge ride was $6 a person. We decided not to visit the nature center during this outing but plan to return again in the fall. The lake has several types of fish, turtles, beaver, water snakes and occasional bear looking for food. We would return and bring a picnic lunch and make use of designated picnic areas. There is a trail along the lake that takes about 2 hours to walk. The park is renovating a building and outside space for river otters to arrive in the future. This is a very family friendly place.

If you have kids this is a great place to take them because they have a bunch of animals and a playground. No entry fee just a parking fee, I believe it was $7. I guess one of the hiking trails goes to Laurel Run Park, but thats a pretty long run.

The traffic isn't awful but if seclusion is your goal you may want to pick one of the spots away from the creek. I loved the hike down to our camp on the creek but if you pack heavy or are out of shape you don't want to attempt it down there. The outdoor showers are amazing and the campfire get together in the evenings at the office is really cool! I'll definitely be back someday!

Friendly staff, extremely clean bathrooms and showers, and primitive feeling camping without the 6 mile hike! The "hike in" camping has very private feeling camp sites.

Campground at the top of the Virginia Creeper Trail. Tent and RV sites with hookups. Our site had…read moresewer hookup, but it was so far in the back that we would have needed three hoses to access it. There is absolutely no cell service, though they had free WiFi at the office and dining area. The owners also manage an on site cafe open Thursday through Sunday morning. We tried the Greek Pizza (though you need to preorder) on Saturday night and had biscuits and coffee for breakfast the next morning. Campers were recommending the scones, but they were already sold out by 9 am. Easy access to the trail, so no need to put your bikes on the rack to get to the White Top station. You just cross the street, turn left and hop on the path to the Virginia Creeper Trail. For those who do not want to cycle back up, there are several bike shuttle services to choose from. We stopped at Main Street Sweets and Eats in Damascus mid way through our ride. Don't miss the opportunity to grab a cold brew coffee, cookies and ice cream to get you through the second leg of the trail.

The showers are the best I have ever seen in a campground: hot water, lovely shower heads, beautiful and accurate amenities. We got breakfast both Saturday and Sunday. Homemade biscuits or bread, with sausage, or bacon, egg and cheese. They have artisan coffee! The sites have water and electricity. THERE is wifi at the office and relaxed indoor and outdoor seating there. The owners are delightful and knowledgeable about everything from gardening to music to outdoor adventure. This area needs the business with so much damage the Creeper Trail. These roads are great for biking. We saw very little traffic. We drove to Damascus, about 30 minutes, and took shuttle to Abingdon for a great ride back to Damascus. THERE is no food on that TRAIL and ingredients for fresh food was hard to find overall. Some light snacks at the Alvarez station which is about half way to Damascus. The Wicked Chicken in Damascus is great.
