Black Bear Resort is a fantastic place to stay for one or more nights. We visited in early March and were the only guests. The owner gave us a very warm welcome. The location is stunning, and the shower facilities were excellent. The trail to Laurel Falls is absolutely worth exploring. The campsite is situated next to the Appalachian Trail, offering great opportunities for hiking along it. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. Highly recommended!
Hosts were super friendly. Accommodated my out of season trip. Set me up for a beautiful excursion into nature. Extremely flexible, respectful of all. Couldn't ask for a better campsite or hosts.
I really enjoyed the resort. The place has a great vibe, the hosts were nice and accommodating. I came last minute and they were easy to work with. I caught trout in the stream right outside the place and it is a short walk to Laurel Falls.
We lived camping here! There’s a slight drop off that a creek runs through that you have to be aware of especially if you have kids. But it was peaceful to hear the water and fire in the night. It rained both nights we were there so it was very muddy! Overall very nice place!
Host(Linda) was very nice and helpful! Campsite was clean and met all our outdoor needs. Lots activities to do in the area. Definitely like to go back!!
This was an excellent campsite, beautiful and affordable. Check-in was was easy and everyone working at the resort was very friendly. We were shown right to our site, which was well-maintained and not far from the main buildings. The showers, bathrooms, and other amenities were in great shape. We would definitely recommend!!
