In 2018 we purchased this property to enjoy a little freedom, privacy and relaxation. We have slowly been updating the property over the years and in the end of 2019 we decided to create the site and share it with everyone. After beginning to camp ourselves, a year later. we realized that so many campgrounds resembled the HOA like atmosphere our guests want to escape. We then decided to start our own and we hope you enjoy it!Nestle your Camper (or campers) on the edge of Rose Creek in the Pisgah National Forest. Full hookups for one camper, 30amp power, water and sewer. Starlink internet is now available! (The extender cans be spotty at times.) Enjoy a campsite with the space to enjoy yourself and without the typical campground restrictions. Minutes away from the entrance to Table Rock and near popular attractions such as Linville Gorge, Wilson's Creek, Lake James, Brown Mountain Overlook and OHV. Come enjoy a unique RV/Camper get away spot. Tent camping is currently not permitted unless a camper or RV will be accompanying your stay since there are no restroom facilities. If you do have a camper, invite as many tent camping friends as you like! Just keep in mind they will have to use your restroom. Come relax by the creek and experience nature! We only have hook-ups for one camper but multiple are allowed, bring your friends! This campsite will only be shared with you and your guests. No need to check-in. Pull right onto the private drive from the dirt road. We recommend all campers to take the Fish Hatchery Road route for easier parking. If you have a camper longer than 24 feet this route will be required to make the turn into the campsite. A gravel/sanded campsite will comfortably fit a large camper or RV or two 24’ foot travel trailers strategically parked. If you plan to bring a second camper you can access 20 amp power and water with the splitter on the hydrant.

Rose Creek Retreat
On of the nicest places we have been, very secluded and private. Love the sound of the stream. It was nice letting our dogs be able to run around with us off the leash. Definitely recommend it and we will definitely be back.

Nice spot but has it's issues

Rose Creek Retreat
The site was quiet and relaxing. You are close to a dirt road that is travelled on more than I would have expected but by night fall the traffic dies down. The creek is nice to listen to when you are sitting back relaxing. There was plenty of room to spread out, we had 4 people and it didn't feel cramped. My biggest issue is when we got to the site and tried to hook up sewer the pipe was full and the vent cap had come off. It looked like the people that camped before us had the same issue because there was toilet paper around the pipe. The host was responsive and told us he would get a plumber out the next day but they never showed up and they hadn't shown up by the time we left so we had to leave and find a place to empty our waste tank. The host did offer to reimburse us for having to pay to empty our tank.

We had a wonderful weekend at Rose Creek Retreat. It was peaceful, quiet, and right on the creek. We loved being able to hear the running water during our stay. There is no cell phone service (Verizon user) but the host provided WiFi via starlink so we could still receive calls and texts while we were there. We plan on coming back and staying again!

Pro/Cons
3 m travel trailer · With kids ·
Rose Creek Retreat
Pros: The children played in the creek for hours. The camping area is relatively flat. The access is easy and straightforward, no 4wd needed. The grassy lawn is pleasant and attractive. The town of Morganton (20 min) is lovely. Cons: The camping area is immediately off the road. Cars from the large RV camp ground next door (1/10 mile) zoom past round the clock at crazy speeds. While we were there there was no internet. We traveled to Walmart (because this is America, after all) and messaged the owner for help, but now of his suggestions worked. So, we were not able to use gps, research activities, or communicate with others in our group. Very buggy, lots of biting gnats.

We took our 4 grands camping for the first time to Rose Creek. The creek and open area was a great place to keep the kids entertained. The site is quiet and peaceful. It’s a beautiful little spot. Thomas was very hospitable and a great host. We will definitely be back!

Rose Creek Retreat
Rose Creek is the new kind of RV site we are looking for quiet and no kids running around. Thomas our host told us about Wilson creek for trout fishing and we were lucky enough to be there when the fish hatchery came by with trout for the river. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking to get away from the hustle of every day life. Turn off everything and enjoy.

Rose Creek Retreat
A supremely relaxing and private campsite on a beautiful creek close to Morganton and Linville Falls. We visited Fonta Flora’s farm brewery in Nebo and Linville Falls Winery, bout within 30 minutes and EXCELLENT. Full hookups and everything worked well, plenty of natural shade from large hardwoods was great for the summer sun. Lots of wildlife including ducks and rabbits. Site was easy to get in and out of with our 21ft trailer. Host Thomas was responsive and helpful when needed. Would love to return!

Wonderful little campground the dogs really love the stream located pretty much where you would want all the best hiking. You can get !some of the best views & a very cool drive through the forest from table top road and the multitude of waterfalls in the area are stunning. . Secluded off of dirt road easy to pull in and out very clean well-maintained all the hook ups you need we can give it a five stars and we will definitely return to that spot when we’re in the area

The camp site was very private and perfect for a family. Our 20 for trailer fit perfectly in the area. It was gently slopped and the hook ups worked great. Our kids loved the creek despite the cold weather.

Rose Creek Retreat
This was a great spot. It was relaxing and my dogs loved the freedom they don't typically get when we camp. We have a 41' 5th wheel and came the way Thomas suggested which I 100% recommend. It's a tight turn going into spot from the other way if you have a larger RV. Go slow into spot as there are some small branches that hang down that for our tall unit rubbed a little. It's a very quiet area. It was close to Pisgah National Forest and 1 hr away from Asheville. Table Rock is nearby. I recommend using a filter for the water. It's a well which is fine, but wasn't as clear as city water or other well water I've had. Wifi worked pretty well for us. The manual at the site said not to stream, but Thomas said he's updated the Wifi and that's no longer an issue. We have ATT and that was spotty. I connected to the Wifi a lot at the site. It's a little bit of a drive to go the nearest Walmart/grocery store. Every time I reached out to Thomas he quickly responded. He was a great host. If we come back to the area, I would definitely camp here again.
