Learn more about this land: Plumtree Campground and Retreat is an off-the-beaten-path property for hikers, bikers (both pedal and motor), campers, adventurers, parkway goers, mountain lovers, fisherman, and skiers/snowboarders. The property is the former Blind Squirrel Campground which included a zip line recreation area. Relics remain, with zip lines and bridges still running through the tree canopy and an old climbing wall. These aren’t currently in use, and cannot be explored, but they add a wonderland-like quality to the land. Other features also remain that can be used: a sliding rock waterfall which is a short hike within the campground property, moderate trails for hiking, and mountain biking running from the waterfall through the back of the property (these trails are mountainous, so please enter at your own risk), fruit trees, blueberry bushes, small trout pond, a playground, an open meadow for star gazing, and our friendly neighborhood duck, Howard. (He hangs by the pond and accepts treats!) You are welcome to explore all these features, but please be mindful and respectful of residents and guests, do not enter or explore the greenhouses or gardens, and remain aware that this is mountainous terrain with inherent risks. This is a rustic property in the forest, centrally located to all the area has to offer.

There are 3 his and her bathhouses on the property with the largest within walking distance of the tent loop, with 2 toilets and 3 stall showers each. This corner of the world has so much to offer and we are close, but just far away enough from it all.

H4 Hike-in site

10/10 would stay with Plumtree again. They sent an email with clear directions on how to get to the site days in advance, have a camp store with anything you may have forgotten or need, including treats and drinks. They were so friendly and helped bring our camp gear up to the site in their side by side, firewood was reasonably priced and they even brought more up to the campsite after we purchased more in the store. They had live music Saturday night that was enjoyed by all. The entire property, including the site and bathhouse, were very clean and well kept. All the people staying there were also very pleasant. We will definitely be visiting again!

We truly enjoyed out trip to Plumtree. It was our first visit, so we didn't know exactly what to expect. The owners and manager were extremely kind and helpful. Our campsite was clean and well kept. The bathhouse was well maintained and close by, which helped with the kids. We enjoyed trying a platform for the first time. Our tent was a little large, but it still fit and worked out well. Overall, Plumtree was a great experience!

Primitive Cabin #1

Plumtree Campground was a great experience for my family. We stayed in the primitive cabin and it was much roomier than the pictures make it look. Also a lovely view of the mountains from our porch. There is a nice little playground that my daughters loved and even a hiking trail on the grounds. On our second night there was live music which made the experience even more special. The owners and managers were wonderfully nice and helpful. It’s a clean environment and very family friendly. We will definitely be going back!

Hosts were lovely, free morning coffee a great bonus- so welcoming. However , for family of 6, sites we’re far too small and packed in like sardines. (Our tent was only several feet from the neighboring camper trailer!)We would come back in a camper but not again for tent camping. Clean bathroom and convenient trash bins also pluses.

H4 Hike-in site

Plumtree Campground is a nice, secluded spot, quiet and comfortable, but near a lot of good hiking in the area (I went to the Roan Highlands and Grandfather Mountain). I was booked for a hike-in spot, but when I arrived they offered me a free upgrade to one of the platform sites right above the creek. It was a beautiful spot- convenient, large, and spread out from the other sites. The bathhouse was only a 1 minute walk away, which was exceptionally clean and well-cared for.

Plumtree Campground was the perfect weekend camping spot. We will definitely be back. The campground hosts are so friendly and available for any of your needs. We had a wonderful time getting to know them and some of the extended campers who stay here. It’s the perfect location with several towns and good hiking spots nearby. The B6 spot was perfect for a super small 14’ camper like ours. Hosts took us right to the spot and gave excellent directions for getting to the campground!

H4 Hike-in site

The hike in site was like a slice of paradise! Spent a week out there with some close friends and family and we all had a blast! Tons of great hiking spots nearby, and even some scenic trails on the grounds, too. lots of very cool shops and activities around as well. It did rain a little bit, but what's camping if you don't get a little wet? There is a little climb from the camping spot to the parking area but it wasn't that bad as Jimmy was a huge help getting our stuff up the hill. Everyone in the staff was absolutely wonderful and a pleasure to talk to, and the other campers seemed friendly enough as well.

Great stay at Plumtree Campground--Jimmy (manager) helped show us around when we arrived and also carted some of our heavier gear up the hill to our hike-in site which was much appreciated. Campground owners Jed and Jenifer were very helpful with directions and gave us all the info we needed for a relaxing weekend stay. Very clean bathroom facilities as well, which is always a plus! Would definitely stay again when in the area!

I loved tent camping on the primitive sites that were within close proximity to the bathhouse and a waterfall.

B3 tent/pop-up

Where to start with this review. I guess from the beginning, Jed/Jenifer were fantastic with recommendations and accommodations. We booked B3 as from the photos it looked to be the best spot for my family of five and a dog. When planning how much we wanted to pack for our four day three night trip, I reached out to ask for recommendations. Our three boys ages 9, 12 & 14, like to camp in their own space, separate tents/hammocks. After chatting they recommended hike in site H3 for our crew and we decided to pack our enclosed trailer as it would be easier with rain in the forecast. It was set and couldn't had been a better spot for us. Upon arrival, we were met by camp manager Jimmy, who led us to the perfect parking spot for our rig and then both him and Jed helped us get our gear to the top where our site was. We were the only one up there among the four sites and again couldn't had picked a better spot. We had such a fantastic time at this tucked away campground. The websites and photos do not do this place justice! I don't think it was just our love for the mountains, no cell service (which we loved the most) or the beautiful weather. I believe it had more to do with the fact we didn't have to leave the campground, we felt more than welcomed there and the hospitality from Jimmy was fantastic. It was a trip to remember and we'll surely be back.

Great place to camp and to use as a base camp to explore hr surrounding areas. Jimmy was very helpful and around if need anything. Bathrooms were clean, with hot water.

B4 Tent/pop-up

Plumtree was absolutely a dream camping spot! The site was perfect for our jeep setup, and left nothing to be desired. We were met by the hosts upon arrival, and they were extremely gracious the whole trip. The bath house was kept absolutely spotless, and was in a perfect location. We slept so good at night with the sound of the creek nearby. We'll definitely be back, with the whole family next time!

Nicely maintained facilities and very friendly hosts. We're already planning our next trip up. We loved being close enough to ski at Sugar Mountain.
