My family and I spent approximately two weeks at Blue Ridge Falls RV Resort. The travel day to Blue Ridge Falls RV Resort was one of those very stressful days.

The owners, Adam and Melissa, met us when we arrived and were very helpful in getting us into our site. The communication prior to arrival was always timely and provided useful information. Our daughter, her husband and their children rented a glamping tent and spent a few days with us. During their stay there was a cold front where the temperature dropped close to freezing. Melissa communicated often with my daughter to ensure they were warm enough and didn’t need anything. During our stay Adam and Melissa also provided information on things to do around Lake Toxaway to include travel directions. I inquired about a place of worship and Adam and Melissa provided a recommendation that my wife and I were very pleased with. Overall, the campground is well maintained, and the restrooms were immaculate. We plan to visit the area again and will certainly stay at Blue Ridge Falls RV Resort.

I stayed in the Cardinal RV. It is beautiful and very comfortable! It’s also located right next to the stream, so that was a nice surprise! Melissa was so gracious and very helpful with showing me around the tv, as I have no experience being or living in one! It was really like living in a 1 bedroom house! It was clean, spacious and had some lovely touches! The location cannot be beat! You... I stayed in the Cardinal RV. It is beautiful and very comfortable!

You are surrounded by the mountains and so many waterfalls and the precious Blue Ridge parkway is nearby! I cannot recommend enough!

First, Mellisa and Adam have a beautiful camp site. They were very responsive throughout the entirety of our trip. Melissa even offered recommendations of places for us to visit while in the area.It is centrally located to some of the most beautiful waterfalls in the area. We would highly recommend.

We love staying at Blue Ridge Falls! Melissa and Adam are great hosts. We enjoy the family atmosphere but yet the cozy quietness. Make sure you hike the big hill on the property!

Great location between Cashiers and Brevard. 25 waterfalls in this area. Sites are landscaped and spaced decently. Owners are polite, friendly, and willing to make sure campers have whatever is needed for a relaxing stay. WiFi works well
