Weekend Trip to Eden Oaks Vineyard & Campground

Was lucky enough to find this spot last minute while we were traveling home. We booked on very short notice but the owners were really helpful and we had a great one night stay. We will definitely return.

Weekend Trip to Eden Oaks Vineyard & Campground

Had a quick 1 night stay, last minute trip. Had a quick response to accept our reservation. Site 4 was perfect, easy to access, power and water on site. Great for our Sylvan GO popup. Roy greeted us on arrival and showed us around. He brought a nice size stack of firewood. He also borrowed us a 30A -> 110 adapter so we could plug an extension cord in. We enjoyed the visit in the morning from the donkey and cows. Beautiful property, great hosts, we'll stop back next year.

We loved the camping spot. It was beautiful and peaceful. The meet and greet from the host was fantastic. We really loved visiting the old tobacco barn and walking the trails through the woods.

Our campsite was the only one in the open. It was to the left of the house. along the tree line. We had access to well water and were hooked up to 30 amp power.

Weekend Trip to Spacious Skies Bear Den - RV/Tent Sites

Great for the family! We enjoyed the amenities but also being close to hiking which our family loves. The red trail on the campground was fun even with all the down trees (the kids thought of it as ninja obstacles!). We will be back again!

Jeanie's place is now among our favorite Hipcamp spots. The premium site is incredibly well-maintained, private, and overlooks a lovely meadow. Our dog loved being able to explore the sights, sounds, and smells off-leash. Looking forward to our next visit!

Weekend Trip to Blue Bear Mountain Camp

This is one of the best campgrounds we have stayed at. Mike was a great host, very friendly and easy to talk to. The bathhouse gets 5 stars from us. Heated water as well as heated room. We stayed in Dome #3 and it was clean and comfortable. The heated blanket was a very helpful for our cold evenings. We stayed 11/7-11/9 and have already started planning another trip to try the backpack sites. It is a beautiful property.

Gorgeous bit of property, Sandra was friendly and efficient. We came on a weekend that we had the place to ourselves and were able to just choose whichever site. Shame we found it so late in the year when it gets dark so early.

Weekend Trip to 'Possum Creek Ranch

We had a great time! Very clean, plenty of fire wood, and power-that’s the trifecta! Definitely no Google maps in this area, so make sure you download the photos. From the light in Independence, it is 5.8 miles to the left on to Big Ridge Rd, then 3.8 miles to Possum Creek Ranch. It is a little narrow, so just be aware if you fridge and/or stove pull out like our does.

Don’t skip Linville Falls, one of the most scenic waterfalls on the entire Blue Ridge Parkway, where the nearby Linville Falls Campground has both tent camping and RV camping options with picnic tables, grills, and restrooms.

Blue Ridge Parkway

The Blue Ridge Parkway is a scenic route that spans an extraordinary 469 miles of mountain curves and vistas in North Carolina and Virginia. You can pick up the Parkway just outside of Boone near Blowing Rock. Headed west, the route takes you through Asheville and eventually to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Winter Destinations

When snow starts to accumulate on the peaks around Boone, locals head to the slopes at Sugar Mountain Resort and Beech Mountain Resort near Banner Elk for downhill skiing and snow tubing. Cross country skiing and snowshoeing is also possible at multiple High Country sites in this area.

When to go

Summer is the best tent camping season in Boone, but spring and fall are also good (weather permitting). The Appalachian mountains put on a spectacular fall foliage show, while spring campers are rewarded with roaring waterfalls. Cabin camping makes this area accessible year-round, though winter visitors should be prepared for snow driving and ice on the roads.
