Great place with wonderful people. We stayed Fall 2024-Spring 2025. We found it very reasonably priced with utilities included. There was a small arcade, a pool table and a pretty good sized playground. There were several "official" community events including a fish fry, a crab boil and several painting classes.

That creek put us to sleep at night lol. The bathrooms are clean and updated. I wish they had been a little more well lit, but lighting is subjective. I will say the hike up from the campsites to the restrooms is quite steep but doable. Overall we would definitely stay here again. If you have any questions or concerns, the host (Rick) will be more than happy to help!

Excellent campground! Very clean bathrooms and showers. Only downside is the 10pm sharp quiet time. Like really quiet as in you have to whisper as in basically don’t make a noise. I could understand like hey let’s lower our voices at 10 and maybe like 11pm you have to whisper. Other than that we loved this campground!

We stayed here for 4 days and had an amazing experience. Our campsite was right next to a beautiful flowing creek, which made everything feel calm and relaxing. The restrooms were super clean and well maintained, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Our favorite part was the hike to the lake where we got to see an active rail track, and we were lucky to see a train pass by around 9:40 AM....

They have plenty of firewood and ice available 24/7, and there’s free coffee near the front desk. We also enjoyed stargazing at night—there were so many stars visible. We visited at the end of October and the fall colors were stunning. Overall, it was a calm, pleasant, and truly amazing stay. Highly recommend! 🌟

Such a cool spot. Just spent a couple nights here and I already looking forward to my next time here. The bathrooms are sooo clean. Hot shower, clean toilets. Electricity at the sites and a nice creek to listen to while you fall asleep. 11/10

Camped here the last day of 2025 Great Smoky Mountain Railroad excursions. Fantastic location, very clean showers and restroom, attentive staff and great communication. Located halfway between Tail of the Dragon and Bryson City. We pulled a trailer and picked this location to avoid too many curvy roads to our home base. We will come again!

We have been long term RV staying for the past 2 years at Long Creek Park and this place has made some of our BEST memories in North Carolina.

We have been long term RV staying for the past 2 years at Long Creek Park and this place has made some of our BEST memories in North Carolina. Ashley is not just a park manager but a friend after this long stay! She will always go above and beyond small or big to make things to be better! We will miss her, the community in the campground and the events. This place is more than a beautiful place to visit.. it’s a place to call home away from home!! Provided some pictures of snow days at the campground, spaghetti nights with friends at campgrounds, most definitely pet friendly, and game nights with the community! 10/10 Texas bound now!

Great campground and really nice people. My niece and I stayed there for a few days exploring the area. The facilities are clean and the campsites are big.

Had a problem with my awning while we were out exploring and the managers were thoughtful enough to call us and try to help. It's like a family there! The only reason I gave a 4 star instead of a 5 is the lack of wifi throughout the campground. It is only available at the rec room area. I did not have cell phone service at their location and completely relied on wifi for calling, so it would have been nice to have wifi throughout the campground. Would definitely stay there again.

Ashley was great to work with here while we came in town to relax and go to a wedding. The place was neat, groomed, kept up and clean! She walked us through our cottage and explained everything and was very attentive! Neat family place! We will and would come back for sure!

This is such a peaceful, quiet spot. The campground is really well maintained and the manager, Ashley, is so friendly and awesome! We stayed in the creekside cottage and it was so luxurious inside. My favorite part of it is the back deck. Such a beautiful and relaxing way to spend a quiet weekend.
