Camping World Racing Resort

386 RV Sites

Camping World Racing Resort in Concord, North Carolina, offers 386 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 100 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout — the capacity that matters at a motorsports venue where coaches arrive with trailers. Back-in, pull-through, and small back-in categories sit at the epicenter of American racing. Three hundred eighty-six sites span back-in, back-end pull-through, pull-through, and small back-in categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 100 feet, with picnic tables. The small back-in category is a useful option for compact rigs that would otherwise pay for space they do not need. A laundry, dump station, propane exchange, restrooms, showers, firewood, and WiFi handle the practical side. Shower and bath facilities are secured after hours — call the park for the access code if arriving late, Mon–Fri 9am–5pm or weekends. A recreation center, pavilion, playground, dog park, community fire pit, volleyball, and horseshoes fill the grounds, with planned activities through the season. Pets are welcome. Charlotte Motor Speedway's 167,000-seat superspeedway is the draw, hosting the Coca-Cola 600, the Bank of America Roval 400, and the All-Star Race. The complex also holds zMAX Dragway and the racing museum and experience infrastructure that makes Cabarrus County the center of the sport. Race weekends drive everything here and book out far in advance at premium rates. Check the Speedway calendar before planning a stay.

Phoenix Mountain Campground

9 RV Sites

Phoenix Mountain Campground in Lansing, North Carolina, offers nine full-hookup RV sites with water, sewer, and electric service on 30 and 50-amp, taking rigs up to 60 feet, steps from the New River in Ashe County. Site WiFi reaches the campground. At nine sites, this is a deliberately small operation in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina's northwestern corner. Nine full-hookup sites offer 30 and 50-amp service with water and sewer, accommodating rigs to 60 feet in back-in configurations. WiFi reaches the sites. The small site count is the point: guests get river frontage and quiet rather than a programmed resort, and the campground fills accordingly. The New River is the property's defining feature. Sites sit adjacent to its clear, rocky-bottom flow, putting guests within walking distance for morning fishing, afternoon paddling, and evening time by the water. Fishing, kayaking, canoeing, paddle boats, and boating all run from the property, and picnicking areas serve daytime use. The surrounding hills and river corridor make for exceptional birding — warblers and vireos in the canopy, waterthrushes along the stream edges, raptors on the ridgeline thermals. Pets are welcome. The New River is a National Wild and Scenic River and among the oldest rivers on Earth, an ancient drainage that predates the Appalachians and still runs north and west against them. Lansing's revitalized downtown is walkable and close by, with Pie on the Mountain, Old Orchard Creek General Store, and Molley Chomper Cidery among the local draws. The campground runs through the Ashe County mountain season, with summer river recreation and October foliage driving demand. With only nine sites, weekends book out well in advance — reserve early for any summer or fall stay.

Blue Bear Mountain Camp

13 RV Sites, 1 Cabin, 29 Tent Sites

Blue Bear Mountain Camp in Todd, North Carolina, offers 13 RV sites, a cabin, and 29 tent sites across 150 acres at 4,000 feet in the Blue Ridge Mountains, with 30 and 50-amp electric service and rigs accepted to 40 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Stargazer dome glamping, a hand-painted tepee, and hike-in backcountry sites make the accommodation mix unusually varied. Thirteen sites carry electric service on 30 and 50-amp in back-in and pull-through configurations, sized to 40 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables — note there are no water or sewer hookups at the sites, though a dump station is available, so plan tank capacity. Twenty-nine tent sites include hike-in backcountry positions, and a cabin, a 22-foot hand-painted tepee, and stargazer dome glamping units round out the range. Laundry, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. The 150 acres carry the experience. Walking trails run the property for hiking and biking, with fishing available and the 4,000-foot elevation delivering mild summer temperatures and cool mountain air that the valleys below cannot match. The dome glamping units are built for the night sky, which at this elevation is worth the trip on its own. Pets are welcome. Todd sits eight miles north of Boone in Watauga County, where the New River's ancient headwaters drain one of the most geologically significant valleys in the Appalachians — the New is among the oldest rivers in North America. The Blue Ridge Parkway, the Appalachian Trail corridor, and Boone's university-town infrastructure are all close. October foliage is the peak in the High Country. Reserve well ahead.

Lake Ridge RV Resort

84 RV Sites, 20 Cabins, 7 Tent Sites

Lake Ridge RV Resort in Hillsville, Virginia, offers 84 RV sites, 20 cabins, and seven tent sites on a lake in Carroll County's Blue Ridge Mountains, with 30 and 50-amp full-hookup service and rigs accepted to 65 feet. An outdoor pool with water slides, a clubhouse, and a full activity calendar make this a family resort rather than an overnight stop. Sites run from back-in and deluxe back-in with 30-amp water and electric to VIP back-in and pull-through options and super pull-throughs with 50-amp, all sized for rigs to 65 feet. Twenty cabins serve guests traveling without a rig, and seven tent sites cover simpler camping. A general store, snack bar, laundry, propane fills and exchange, and a dump station handle the practical side, and WiFi reaches the property. On-site recreation is extensive. An outdoor pool with water slides anchors the summer, with a lake on the property for fishing, boating, paddle boats, and paddle boarding. Sports courts, basketball, horseshoes, shuffleboard, and gaga ball spread across the grounds, with an arcade and clubhouse indoors and a playground, pavilion, dog park, and walking trails besides. Golf cart rentals make the resort easy to cross, and planned activities run through the season. Pets are welcome. Hillsville sits near the Blue Ridge Parkway close to the Virginia–North Carolina line. Galax and its Old Fiddlers' Convention, the New River Trail State Park, and Grayson Highlands State Park are all close. Roanoke and Winston-Salem are each about 75 minutes; Virginia Tech is 52 miles. The resort runs the Blue Ridge season, with summer families and October foliage driving peak demand. Reserve ahead for both, and check pool and slide operating dates when booking shoulder-season stays.

The Barlow RV Elk Park

4 RV Sites

The Barlow RV Elk Park in Elk Park, North Carolina, is a boutique mountain RV park with just four full-hookup sites in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Avery County — an intimate, carefully curated camping experience near Banner Elk in the high-country corridor where Beech Mountain, Sugar Mountain, and Grandfather Mountain sustain the most concentrated alpine and ski resort environment in the southern Appalachians, giving guests the specific high-elevation mountain character and the dramatic Blue Ridge scenery that this northwestern North Carolina corner delivers at a density unmatched anywhere else in the eastern United States south of the White Mountains. The four-site scale gives the Barlow its boutique identity and its guests the genuine privacy and quietude that larger campgrounds structurally cannot provide. Four full-hookup RV sites give the campground its defining intimate character — a camping experience defined by the mountain setting and the proximity to the Avery County high-country attractions rather than by on-site amenity density, reflecting the specific appeal of a small, well-positioned boutique property where the surrounding landscape is the primary attraction and the campground infrastructure is the comfortable base from which to access it. The Elk Park location in Avery County's high valley gives guests the 3,000-foot-plus base elevation that distinguishes the Banner Elk corridor's summer climate from the piedmont heat below. Pets are welcome. Beech Mountain, five miles north of Elk Park at 5,506 feet, is the highest elevation incorporated town east of the Rocky Mountains — a ski resort community whose Beech Mountain Resort ski area sustains winter skiing and snowboarding, whose summer mountain biking trails on the ski slopes and the Beech Mountain Parks and Recreation trail network give the resort its four-season outdoor recreation character. The mountain's elevation gives it measurable temperature advantages over the valley communities below, and the Blue Ridge Parkway access via the Linville area and the parkway's high-country corridor near Beech Mountain provides the summit ridge driving and hiking experience that parkway travelers specifically seek in the Avery County section. Grandfather Mountain, 12 miles southeast of Elk Park via U.S. 221, is one of the most ecologically significant mountains in the southern Appalachians — a 5,946-foot summit in the Blue Ridge Mountains privately managed as a nature preserve and state park hybrid, whose Mile-High Swinging Bridge suspension footbridge, museum of natural history, and native wildlife habitats housing black bears, white-tailed deer, bald eagles, and river otters give it the character of a natural attraction of extraordinary quality. The mountain's eight distinct ecological communities from cove hardwood to boreal spruce-fir forest represent the most compressed elevation-driven ecological succession gradient in the eastern United States. The Barlow RV Elk Park serves guests through the Avery County mountain seasons — summer from June through August delivering the high-country cool and outdoor recreation, the fall foliage season from mid-October through early November bringing the most dramatic color display in the high-elevation spruce-fir and hardwood forest, and the winter ski season from December through March serving the Beech Mountain ski market that specifically values the walking-distance or short-drive proximity to the resort lifts. Sugar Mountain Resort, adjacent to Beech Mountain, extends the ski and snowboarding options with its own terrain and lifts. Reserve sites well ahead for the fall foliage peak and ski season weekends, when Avery County's limited boutique campground inventory fills against strong demand from the Charlotte, Raleigh, and Triad markets.

Jellystone Park™ Golden Valley

112 RV Sites, 157 Cabins, 26 Tent Sites, 6 Glamping Sites, 29 Cottages, 4 Lodges

Jellystone Park Golden Valley in Bostic, North Carolina, offers 112 full-hookup RV sites, 190 cabin, cottage, and lodge units, 26 tent sites, and six glamping sites across more than 600 acres, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 80 feet behind a gated entrance. Creekside premium and Creekside Red Carpet categories join a water park, zip line, mountain coaster, and disc golf course. One hundred twelve sites span Creekside premium back-in, Creekside premium pull-thru, Creekside Red Carpet back-in, and Creekside Red Carpet pull-thru categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 80 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. Every RV category is creekside, which is unusual — there is no inferior inland tier. One hundred ninety cabins, cottages, and lodges, 26 tent sites, and six glamping sites make the lodging inventory extraordinary. A general store, laundry, propane fills, restrooms, showers, firewood, and RV storage handle the practical side. A daily resort fee covers mini-golf, the playground, and the amenity program. A water park and outdoor pool anchor the summer, with a hot tub and sauna alongside. A zip line, disc golf course, mini-golf, laser tag, a jumping pillow, sports courts, tennis, pickleball, volleyball, basketball, ping pong, golf cart rentals, walking trails, hiking, a lake, creek, playground, pavilion, dog park, on-site dining, and a bar fill the rest. Six hundred acres at the base of the Blue Ridge makes this one of the Southeast's most expansive family resorts. Summer and fall foliage drive demand. Reserve well ahead.

Spacious Skies Bear Den

68 RV Sites, 20 Cabins, 31 Tent Sites

Spacious Skies Bear Den in Spruce Pine, North Carolina, offers 67 RV sites, 20 cabins, and 31 tent sites directly off the Blue Ridge Parkway at Milepost 324.8, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 40 feet. Premium pull-through and full-hookup back-in categories join water-and-electric tiers, with a lake, beach, jumping pillow, and gem mining. Sixty-seven sites span back-in 30-amp, back-in 30/50-amp, back-in water-and-electric 30-amp, premium pull-thru 30/50-amp, and pull-thru 30-amp categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted, sized to 40 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric category does not carry sewer, and note the 40-foot cap — mountain terrain sets the limit here. Twenty cabins and 31 tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. One safety note: the adjacent trail system belongs to the Foothills Conservancy and crosses public and private land with known logging and hunting activity — those trails are not supervised by the campground. A lake and beach anchor the summer, with a jumping pillow, arcade, game room, recreation center, sports courts, basketball, ping pong, horseshoes, corn hole, gem mining, golf cart rentals, walking trails, hiking, a playground, and dog park filling the rest. The property sits inside Pisgah National Forest at the base of the Black Mountains, the highest range in the eastern United States. Fall foliage drives the sharpest demand. Reserve well ahead for October.

Cold Springs at Little Pond Mountain Campground

5 RV Sites

High in the Blue Ridge highlands of Johnson County, where Tennessee reaches its northeastern corner against the borders of Virginia and North Carolina, Cold Springs at Little Pond Mountain Campground occupies some of the most remote and scenically compelling terrain in the state. Mountain City serves as the county seat and gateway community for a landscape of high ridges, cold-water streams, and forested hollows that flow into the headwaters of the South Fork Holston River—country that rewards slow driving, deliberate hiking, and the kind of unhurried camping that this purpose-built campground is designed to support. Full hookup sites with electric, water, and sewer connections ensure comfortable stays even at this elevation, and the pet-friendly policy welcomes four-legged travel companions throughout the grounds. Full utility service with reliable electric, water, and sewer hookups and internet access keeps guests connected despite the remote mountain address, and the intimate scale of the facility ensures that guests are treated as individuals rather than site numbers. The surrounding terrain of Little Pond Mountain provides a natural buffer that delivers genuine quiet after dark in a region where light pollution is among the lowest in the Eastern United States. The cold spring water characteristic of this high-elevation watershed gives the campground its name and its signature character—a refreshing reminder that this corner of Tennessee sits in one of the Southern Appalachians' most unspoiled drainages. Watauga Lake, one of TVA's most spectacular man-made reservoirs and a genuinely well-kept secret compared to Tennessee's crowded central plateau lakes, lies within easy reach and provides exceptional fishing for rainbow and brown trout, smallmouth bass, and walleye in water of unusual clarity and depth. The Cherokee National Forest blankets the surrounding ridge country with hundreds of miles of hiking and backpacking trails, including sections of the Appalachian Trail that traverse the high ridges just north of Mountain City near the Virginia state line. Backbone Rock, where Tennessee Highway 133 passes through a bluff in a 20-foot hand-carved tunnel—the shortest tunnel on any US highway—provides one of the trail corridor's most photogenic and unusual encounters. The Virginia Creeper Trail, one of the most celebrated rail-trail paths in the Southern Appalachians, begins in Abingdon, Virginia, just 30 miles north—a renowned downhill cruise through mountain farmland and historic trestle bridges that attracts cyclists from across the region. Boone, North Carolina, anchors the outdoor recreation and college-town culture of the High Country about 45 minutes south, with hiking access to the Blue Ridge Parkway, Grandfather Mountain, and Elk Knob State Natural Area. The New River, one of North America's oldest rivers, flows through nearby Ashe County and provides scenic floating, tubing, and fishing on the same cold water that has occupied this valley since before the Appalachians were mountains. Johnson County's high elevation delivers cool summer temperatures that make this a favored retreat for lowland campers escaping the July and August heat of Tennessee's cities and flatlands. Fall brings spectacular foliage to the surrounding ridges in mid-October, drawing leaf-peeping visitors who find the Blue Ridge highlands at their most dramatic and the campground at its most atmospheric. Check current availability before planning your high-country Tennessee escape, and reserve ahead for peak fall foliage weekends when accommodations throughout the entire tri-state corner of Appalachia fill ahead of schedule.

Roan Creek Campground by Doe Mountain

Roan Creek Campground by Doe Mountain in Butler, Tennessee, offers spacious full-hookup RV sites with water, sewer, and electric, alongside tent camping and rustic cabins on Roan Creek in northeast Tennessee. Fire pits, picnic tables, and site WiFi serve guests using the property as a base for the region's outdoor recreation. Full-hookup back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric with fire pits and picnic tables. Rustic cabins provide enclosed lodging, and tent sites cover simpler camping. A dump station, restrooms, showers, and WiFi handle the practical side. Pets are welcome. The creek is the setting. Walking trails run the property, with fishing, kayaking, canoeing, swimming, hiking, picnicking, and birding all available from camp. The mountain terrain surrounds the campground on every side, and the water is the reason most guests book. Doe Mountain Recreation Area is the headline draw — 8,700 acres of trails and adventure terrain, and one of the more substantial riding and hiking areas in the region. Beyond it, northeast Tennessee's high country opens up in every direction, with the Appalachian corridor's lakes, rivers, and ridgelines all within reach. The campground works equally well for a quiet getaway and an active outdoor trip, which is much of its appeal — guests can ride Doe Mountain all day or spend it beside the creek without leaving the property. The campground serves the northeast Tennessee mountain season. Summer water recreation and October foliage drive the heaviest demand, with riding season on Doe Mountain extending through the shoulder months. Reserve ahead for fall color weekends.

Hidden Trails RV Park

20 RV Sites

On 45 wooded acres in Grover, North Carolina—in the Piedmont Foothills country of Cleveland County where the Blue Ridge's last ridgelines meet the Carolina Piedmont's rolling terrain and the Charlotte metropolitan area's western commuter suburbs blend into the working rural landscape that preserves the foothills' character—Hidden Trails RV Park provides a quiet, nature-oriented full hookup experience with the hiking trail access and creek proximity that distinguish it from the commercial highway campgrounds of the I-85 corridor. The park's 45 acres of forest and trail and the on-site creek give it the natural dimension that its Grover location, immediately adjacent to the Crowders Mountain State Park region, supports in the surrounding landscape. All sites feature full hookup service with 50-amp electric, water, and sewer connections, barbecue grills, and picnic tables—the standard full-service infrastructure for a park oriented toward comfortable extended stays as well as overnight travel. High-speed WiFi is included at all short and long-term sites, and the laundry facility and well-stocked general store handle the daily practical needs of the campground's population. The 45-acre property's hiking trails and the peaceful creek running through the natural areas of the site give the campground its defining character—a forested park experience that the Piedmont Foothills' woodland terrain genuinely supports. The park's safe, quiet, family-oriented character reflects the deliberate management decisions that make it work as a destination rather than a waypoint, and the pet-friendly policy accommodates the traveling dogs that many Piedmont region camping families bring along as a matter of course. The landscape surrounding Grover in the Cleveland County Foothills has a transition-zone character that gives it visual variety uncommon in the flat Piedmont farther east. Crowders Mountain State Park—a monadnock with 800-foot quartzite cliffs rising abruptly from the Piedmont plain—provides one of the most dramatic hiking destinations in western North Carolina with trails ranging from accessible family walks to the challenging Backside Trail up the cliff face. The views from Crowders Mountain's summit reach across the Charlotte metro area to the south and the Blue Ridge foothills to the west, and the park's bird of prey concentration during fall hawk migration is among the most reliably spectacular anywhere in the Southern Appalachian flight path. Moss Lake, a reservoir south of Kings Mountain, provides fishing, kayaking, and the lakeside recreation that Cleveland County's outdoor calendar supplements with the mountain access to the north. The Catawba Two Kings Casino, operated by the Catawba Indian Nation and accessible from the park, provides the most significant regional gaming destination in the western Carolinas—a recent development that has added a major cultural and entertainment anchor to the Cleveland County area's visitor programming. Kings Mountain National Military Park, site of the pivotal 1780 Revolutionary War battle that turned the tide of the Southern Campaign, provides a genuinely significant historical experience for guests with Revolutionary War interest. The Charlotte metro area—less than an hour east—gives guests with urban programming interests access to a major city's full cultural infrastructure when the campground's natural setting requires supplementing. Hidden Trails RV Park is open year-round in Cleveland County's four-season Piedmont climate. The foothills provide meaningful fall color in October, and spring wildflower season on the Crowders Mountain trails makes April one of the most rewarding hiking months. Monthly rates make the park an economical long-term option for guests with extended work commitments in the Charlotte-Gastonia corridor. Reserve your wooded site, plan a Crowders Mountain sunrise hike, and discover what the Carolina Foothills offer guests patient enough to look past the interstate corridor.
