This campground is awesome!! It’s got everything you want in a place you’re going to call home temporarily. The spots up on top of the hill (where we are) are very spacious and have a great view! The bathrooms are always spotless and are temperature controlled so even in the winter it’s nice and warm in there. There’s plenty of space to walk your dog around the grounds for some exercise.

The spots up on top of the hill (where we are) are very spacious and have a great view! The bathrooms are always spotless and are temperature controlled so even in the winter it’s nice and warm in there. There’s plenty of space to walk your dog around the grounds for some exercise. Our dog’s favorite spot is right by the pond so we can watch the ducks! There’s a rec room, laundry, play sets for the kids outside and tons of fun outdoor stuff to do like pickleball and basketball as well as frisbee golf! This park is also in a perfect location if you want to check out Chimney Rock or Lake Lure and Asheville is only about 50 mins away. There’s also cool hikes with waterfalls close by! Management is incredibly friendly and accommodating. We can’t say enough great things about Silver Creek Campgrounds! We live on the road full time in our converted Skoolie and they welcomed us with open arms! We have tons of experience at many different campgrounds and RV parks having lived 3 years on the road and this place truly ticks all the boxes. We look forward to the rest of our cozy winter stay here!

Two of my kids especially loved the fishing pond that is stocked so they would always catch several fish in an afternoon! The location is also wonderful and quiet. Definitely recommend.

Only a 20 minute drive to attractions such as Chimney Rock village and Lake Lure. The access and roads to the campground are very easy for all sizes of rigs. The fishing pond is a great feature and a peaceful spot to spend some time. The swimming pool has been updated and is clean and refreshing, especially on warmer days. The sites feel private and well laid out, which makes the campground feel comfortable and not crowded. Having a basketball court and a pickleball court is a fun bonus and gives everyone something extra to do. Brittany, the camp manager, is a pleasure to work with. She is friendly, helpful, and makes you feel welcome. Overall, it is a pleasant campground with good amenities and a relaxed atmosphere. A solid place to camp in the area.

It was her home, and the kindness she was shown meant more to her than I can properly express. When she passed away, the staff and management were incredibly compassionate and understanding during one of the hardest moments our family has ever faced. They treated us with patience, dignity, and genuine care, which made an overwhelming situation feel a little more manageable. They were also extremely helpful and professional while navigating some difficult circumstances involving a family member, and they handled everything with calm, fairness, and respect. I will always be grateful for the way they looked out for my mom and for how they supported our family afterward. This park is more than just a place to stay - it’s a community, and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Our family has truly enjoyed staying at Silver Creek Campground. My son loves fishing in the pond, and my girls have the best time playing at the park and swimming in the pool during the summer. The staff is great, the facilities are always clean, and we really appreciate having the on-site laundry. It’s so nice to see our kids enjoying the outdoors and making great memories here.
