Camping In Marion Nc
I loved our stay at Kathryn's land! She was hospitable from the time we arrived up until we left. The grounds were kept up with and the cabin/amenities were clean and organized. I feel like they really had the campers in mind when they created this space - theres board games to play, outdoor sports, reading, and so much more to do on the property!

Cozy stay on a cold night
We really enjoyed being able to stay for a night in our camper van in the tent space by the river. Listening to the water while making a fire in the pit was a lovely way to wind down after a day of hiking. We visited on a pretty cold night, so being able to have a hot shower and access to the patio area which was out of the wind was amazing. We had planned on cooking over an outdoor stove but were really happy to just use the microwave instead, ha!

Camping with animals!
Gold River is a completely charming and cozy place. They have one full hook up rv site overlooking the grounds. The circular drive surrounds all the cabins and tents and then there’s access to to river all along one side - fire pits and seating areas by the water too!! We cannot wait to go back! Kathryn and Trevor were excellent hosts.

Perfection!
We absolutely loved Gold River Camp! It was super cute and cozy. Nice peaceful & quiet. We rented their only RV spot and had a blast!
The owners are super sweet & helpful. Love the swings and porches they made beside the river. Very relaxing! Definitely wanting to come back and bring some of our family & friends! 💙

It rained pretty much the whole time I was there, so it was really nice to be in a place where I could still hangout and not be trapped in my tent. Would love to go back and enjoy it more!

Little slice of heaven!
The host provided great directions, and a map which was great! While these sites were just off from the rest of the cabins and glamping tents providing privacy it was super close to parking & the bath house and other common areas, there was a picnic table & firepit. We were staying in a cabin, but used this site to set up for our anniversary dinner & it was magic down by the river! I would Have slept like a baby had I been sleeping here! As mentioned in previous reviews, the site is meticulously kept! There is also a place to purchase forgotten items, or things like ice cream payable by cash or app. Love this place and already booked to come back with my daughter!

Amazing spot!
Absolutely fantastic spot! The owners have created such a perfect little oasis and put in so much work to keep things immaculate! They are so nice and have a ton of frequently forgot or convenience items available on site for purchase (cash, cash app or Venmo) we rented a tent site by the river and two cabins for our anniversary & it could not have been a better pick! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a glamping tent, cabin or a primitive spot in a beautiful location with amenities and little sitting books everywhere!

Was very excited about spending a couple days at Kathryn’s hip camp. She was so welcoming from the moment I booked. The camp was everything the pictures and description that was posted . We loved our stay. Everything was beautiful, well kept, clean. We will definitely go back soon and bring family plus friends.
Thank you Kathryn and your beautiful family… see you soon .

Kathryn, her husband and their entire staff were fantastic. The property is in great shape and it appears they're just getting started. The facility is nicely appointed and very clean. If you looking for a place to use as your base camp for exploring the mountains or just looking for a few days to just unwind this is the place.

When we first arrived we were greeted by Kathryn and what an amazing person, she asked if we needed anything or had forgotten anything because she was heading to the store. We had a great time, loved out rv spot, plenty of room to set up our out door rug and chairs, there was a fire pit and picnic table right out the front door, there was plenty of room to walk the dogs, a small charcoal grill and it was just a pleasant quaint quiet community. I will not hesitate to make another reservation.

This is such a thoughtfully designed and beautiful space. Our family loved playing in the river, looking for gold, and exploring the many wonderful spaces to sit and relax on the property. The hosts were absolutely amazing, provided itineraries with things in the area, were close by any time we needed them, and were so great to talk to and get to know. We already look forward to our next trip!

Kathryn and her family were the absolute best to deal with - they have created such a beautiful getaway and so many lovely beautiful spaces to enjoy. Not only do they provide several wonderful possible itineraries of things to do, but they were always easy to find if we had any questions, were so nice to be with, and they were incredibly flexible with some timing issues we were navigating on our end. We can’t wait to go back and play in the stream and search for gold again soon!

Best camping in NC!
This is easily my favorite camping experience ever - perfect blend of amenities and nature.. The common areas in the campground are so well thought out and beautiful. This was a chance find for us but we will probably plan a future vacation just to come here, 7 hours from home!

Such a magical spot!
Wow! What an incredible spot! The entire property is gorgeous, clearly crafted with care and a lot of creativity. Everything was so well maintained & clean. We loved spending time in the Pavilion, we lounged around and played cards - it was perfect. They really have thought of everything someone may need to have an excellent camping experience. Our tent camping spot was clean, comfy and the sound of the river was so lovely to sleep next to. We feel really lucky to have found such an epic place to stay. Thank you, Katheryn & Crew! You all are creating something really magical!

Incredible!
We will definitely return to this camp! The experience with Katheryn and the beautiful camp she has built was by far the best. If I could give this a hundred stars I would. The bath house is luxurious and as well as the tents and cabins. It was incredibly clean and could clearly see how hard she works to keep the camp up.

A mini resort on the creek
Its a professionally ran, intensely cared for property. It is easy to forget that you are on someone’s private residence property. Kathryn and Trevor have out done themselves. This is truly a special place to visit for multiple reasons. RVers, yes, you will hear some traffic noise from the road. But, outside of that, its an awesome place that feels more like an exclusive boutique glamping resort than it does a typical Hipcamp.
