A Dog-Lover's Brevard Basecamp
16 ft pop-up camper · With pets · Trails & Tails Waterfalls Retreat is the kind of campsite you hesitate to rave about only because you want to keep it a secret. Beth and Rob are the heartbeat of this place, thoughtful, responsive, and genuinely invested in every guest having an easy, memorable stay. Their love for dogs isn’t just a “pet-friendly” checkbox; it’s woven into the whole experience. From the warm welcome to the way they check in without hovering, you feel cared for, like staying with friends who just happen to run an impeccably kept campground.
Location-wise, you can’t beat it. You’re tucked into a quiet, woodsy nook with a small babbling brook setting the soundtrack, yet you’re close to everything in the Brevard and Mills River area—trails, waterfalls, food, and gear shops are all an easy drive. It’s the perfect basecamp: peaceful when you’re here, convenient when you’re out.
If you’re in a van or towing a small travel trailer, the upper Sites 4 and 5 are money—easy to settle into, nicely situated, and especially well-suited for compact rigs. The whole property feels calm and homey, with just the right balance of privacy and community.
Bottom line: stellar hosts, a dog-loving vibe done right, and a quiet, cozy setting close to everywhere you want to be. We’ll absolutely be back.
Kenzi and Kris!
