Blue Ridge Ranch, established in December of 2020, is located on 440 acres nestled between two mountain ridges in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The property features an established pasture, mountain ridges, barns, and a homestead. In addition, the ranch is home to five ponds (some stocked and one trophy), more than a mile of trout streams, waterfalls, and hiking trails. Together, they provide the perfect foundation for the establishment of farming, livestock, camping, and community events. All profits of Blue Ridge Ranch go to Hope for His Children, Inc., a 501(c)(3) that conducts youth camps at the ranch. Tours of the ranch are available for $10/person and includes interaction with some farm animals. We pride ourselves in doing everything possible to help our guests have a great experience. We offer coffee during morning hours in our farm store!
We are sorry, but we are not able to allow guests to bring ATV's and motorcycles to operate on the property. There are many acres of hay that we must protect and our agritourism insurer does not allow guests to operate ATV's and motorcycles on property.

The Barlow RV is a boutique RV park located in the Western North Carolina mountains. Located near the quaint town of Banner Elk and the ski towns of Beech Mountain and Sugar Mountain, North Carolina. The Barlow is situated at an elevation of 3600 ft. with private walking trails up to 4000 ft. with views overlooking Beech Mountain and Hump Mountain.
We are a small but mighty RV park excited to bring you modern hospitality to your outdoor RV experience. Each site was uniquely designed with the lay of the land and unobstructed views of the mountain valley. We offer 8 spacious sites with full hookups and well appointed amenities. Each site offers plenty of privacy, great mountain valley views and areas to spread out and relax.
We treat our furry babies like our children and wanted our park to reflect their needs too. We have an off leash dog park for room to roam and 35 acres to explore on leash.
Cooking outside and enjoying your home away from home "outside" your RV was a high priority to us. Grilling in the privacy of your patio area or gathering with a fire pit and seating to hang out under the stars.
For those looking for some outdoor fun, relax under the trees in our "hammock village" which offers a variety of outdoor lounging.
We will be adding more sites and amenities as we grow, such as, an outdoor pickleball court. We want to make sure the needs of our guests and their stay at "The Barlow" is a memorable one.

This was our 7th stay and we had an absolutely wonderful experience staying at Blue Ridge Ranch with our B-Class RV! From the moment we arrived, the staff was friendly, welcoming, and incredibly helpful, making check-in seamless. The site itself was spacious, clean, and beautifully maintained, with plenty of room to maneuver our RV comfortably. The surroundings are stunning—lush greenery, rolling hills, and serene views that make you feel instantly relaxed and away from the hustle of everyday life. Hookups and amenities were excellent, everything worked perfectly, and it was obvious the park takes pride in its facilities. We especially appreciated the peaceful atmosphere, which made our overnight stay feel like a true mini-getaway. Safety and cleanliness were clearly top priorities, and it felt like the perfect mix of convenience and nature. We left feeling refreshed and impressed, and we will absolutely return. Blue Ridge Ranch is a gem for any RV traveler seeking comfort, beauty, and attentive hosts—highly recommended!

Blue Ridge Ranch is a real hip camp gem! The only downside is I felt like the price is a little high for not having a 30 amp hook up; but aside from that I can attest to the beautiful property, friendly host, and overall experience. It was very quiet and easy to get to. What I also found really enjoyable was the drive through the rolling foothills, farms, and homesteads between 421 and BR ranch. The proximity to Boone and other natural attractions in the area makes BR ranch a must stay at place. Overall, BR ranch is a 3 thumbs up! :)

The tent sites were nice and spacious. It didnt feel like we were right on top of each other. You had to buy your firewood from them but it was nice that they deliver it to your site for you. Cute little outhouse that was kept very clean and smelled....as nice as you could expect an outhouse to smell. Cedar sawdust was provided to sprinkle after you did your business. ☺️ Very nice people! Tours were offered of their working ranch and the facilities but we didn't get to take one this trip.

We had a great overnight stay! Cheryl is a fantastic host who was very attentive to our requests. Additionally, she communicated with us to solve a problem we had created with the bathroom lock late at night. We really appreciated the help when she could have just let it go until the morning!!!!
The sound of the creek at night was spectacular. Set up was so easy. While the site is just off the road - there’s little to no traffic to cause any disturbance. We will stay here again. Thanks, Cheryl!

We had a fantastic stay at Barlow RV. The location is close to plenty of mountain hikes and small towns nearby.
We selected Barlow due to all the extra amenities offered. Having the gas grill and nice dining table with retractable shade awning made such a great difference!
The landscaping at each site is high end and well done. Sites feel spacious and private.
Advance communication was top notch with many suggestions on what you can find in the local area. The check in process was easy. The wifi worked great.
This is a fantastic property and I look forward to returning.

My two dogs and I had an amazing time camping at Blue Ridge Ranch. We had a perfect secluded and peaceful spot along the creek, with great Mountain views. Troy provided a tour of the grounds. He provided great history and recommendations of things to see/do. I even got to feed cows, meet some pigs, and hold some newborn piglets. My dogs and I hiked both recommended trails to small serene waterfalls. I highly recommend staying at the ranch!

40 ft toy hauler
With pets
My husband and I arrived on a Wednesday afternoon, never been to this area, but Kim was so helpful and responsive as to which direction to pull a 40+ foot toy hauler there. (I am terrified by mountain roads)! We pulled directly up to our site. We did have to move a few boulders to get our 5th wheel aligned with power, water, sewer! The site was FABULOUS! The views, the wild life (Mommy and baby deers) were ample (for viewing) and you had a piece of the mountain all to yourself. The rental folder had everything inside. The internet/wi-fi was awesome! We were able to use phones and stream movies on TV with 4 of us. My Son and Fiance' came later Thursday night and they had no issues finding or getting to our site. Which had a designated parking space that was perfect. The conversation between Kim and myself were immediate responses! We were there for the 2025 Grandfather Mountain Scottish Highland Games, which you have to go to a designated place (we chose Avery County High School), park, and ride bus up. This was about 15/20 minutes away, which was perfect! We had a four day pass. Banner Elk was about 15 minutes away in the other direction! We enjoyed both areas! Just for reference, there was an Ingles Grocery Store about 15 minutes away. We did miss the dog park, but thanks to Hurricane Helena, it ravaged all that area, but plans to redo. This area was hit pretty hard by Hurricane, but you can tell it's being rebuilt, redone, fixed and made better!
