They have gorgeous spots right on the river and I could hear the river as I slept and it was so soothing!! The owners are wonderful people and really want campers to enjoy every aspect of their stay. They came out when we came in to help us back camper in our spot. It's very close to town like 5 min drive but felt out in country. Our spot had a picnic table and fire pit. They have a pretty good size bath house with vending machines and at as use washers and dryers which would be good for long stays! Shower stalls were individual bathrooms for privacy .. updated and very clean. We came before Halloween and it had decor for the holiday.. you could stay in camper, they had cabins, and tepees for unique stay. Most were damaged by storm but will be ready for following year. I thought that was really interesting.. i read reviews from previous years about wifi being terrible but we didn't have that issue. We didn't really spend all day at campground we came to see and spend time in the area so we were only using wifi at night and in morning with coffee. I would highly recommend this campground.. it was a great stay and I hated to leave.

One of the best places we have ever camped!…read more We had a large concrete pad large enough for our fifth wheel and patio space beside it. It was equipped with a very nice fire pit and a large stack of firewood included in the price. One staff member led us to our site in a golf cart, and another was already there to guide me while backing in. I have never before had this level of parking assistance! One of our slides jammed when we tried to extend it. The owner and two or three of his staff spent at least an hour trying to help us. We didn't have any luck, but the staff recommended a local mobile RV repair guy who was on site in about an hour and solved the problem. The park's cable TV service is head and shoulders above anything else we have ever seen. The area is full of natural beauty, and there are many places to get delicious food within a five to ten minute drive. Need groceries? Publix, Ingles, and Food Lion are just 15 minutes away, and Walmart about 20 minutes. Cross Creek RV Park is a great example of Western North Carolina hospitality at it's finest!

We stayed one night and they were SO accommodating with a last minute reservation! We pulled in after dark so I was surprised to see the farm like beautiful setting when waking up the next morning. It was a great stay and I was surprised to see the place so empty! We decided maybe we should stay a second night it was so enjoyable. By the time we went down to the office to pay our site was already reserved for the night, so we would have to move spots. Slightly obnoxious since there were only a handful of sites occupied, but we were late to decide so that's our fault. Ultimately we decided that if we had to pack up to move sites then we might as well get back on the road- and so we did. It was still a beautiful, picturesque and farm setting that was peaceful and quiet plus accommodating! They don't have any 'resort' type amenities but power was water are plenty amenities for us!!

Buddy Bear is no "Buddy" to smaller-sized travel trailers…read more I recently stayed 3 nights (Dec 27 - Dec 30) at Buddy Bear RV Campground and was very disappointed with what transpired. I booked my stay from their webpage and received a confirmation email on December 15th for Site #4 which is the one I reserved. Site #4 is a premium site according to the website and it costs a bit more than a regular site. My fiancée and I wanted to stay along the river and at the time that was the only site available along the river. The day I arrived for my stay, Dec 27th, I received an email at 12:37 PM, So around check-in time, stating I was moved to site #21 which is a regular site and not along the river. It is also not large enough for a travel trailer and the towing vehicle to park in. I asked the manager lady why I was moved to a different site and was met with the following responses: "We try to put smaller campers in the smaller sites and save the bigger ones for potential larger campers to rent out." "It's a very common thing, we've been doing this for 30 years and you guys are new campers you'll see." "Park your vehicle over behind the dumpsters if it won't fit at your new smaller site." "The river is still close by as it's just across the street." "You should lock in the site if you want it that bad but it will cost extra." (There isn't an option on the website to Lock-In a site) Someone was already residing in site #4 upon my arrival, I can only conclude they extended their stay and the managers or owners didn't want to move them and figured it would be easier to move me. When we asked for a refund of the difference between the premium site and the regular site I was informed there were no refunds. I also asked to be moved to a different site along the river as there were 5 available at the time of my arrival. The site's 5/7/9/10/11 were all available still and along the river. I was informed that they were all booked up for the holidays and there was nowhere else to put me. Once we kept asking for the refund difference, ONLY THEN, did a premium site magically become available for use. Site #18 is not by the river but at least a large spot for my travel camper and tow vehicle. They had to inform the tenant on site #17 to move his extra vehicles from the site so I could use it. To be clear, they were going to put me in a smaller site, and not give me a refund of the difference before telling someone else to move their extra vehicles from a site they weren't paying for. At the end of the day, I stayed in a "premium site" although it wasn't near the river like I wanted. But we are at least even financially. The morning I was packing up my travel trailer to depart, DEC 30, I took another lap around and wouldn't you know, Premium Site #9 along the river was never booked or used from the moment I showed up until the moment I left. This means they lied about being "completely booked up for the Holidays" We will never be staying here again. My Mother and her Husband won't be, my fiancée and her family won't be either, nor will some of my Army buddies when we take group trips in our campers. From now on we will be staying at Ripplin Waters, it's $57.50 a night there or $60 during holidays so also more budget-friendly! They have over 150 sites with more than 40 along the river. Best of all THEY WON'T MOVE YOU TO ANOTHER SITE OR DISCRIMINATE BASED ON THE SIZE OF YOUR CAMPER.

I think the name has changed to Buddy Bear and currently they are short staffed so everything like…read morecheck in is done virtual and with a code for the gate. I enjoyed this campground because it's by the river, small, quiet, and away from all the chaos of pigeon forge. However it's close enough to get to amenities and tourist areas if desired.
