Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Hey folks,
Susan and I are looking at Maggie Valley for about a week trip and were wondering if any of you have camped there.  I looked on RV Reviews and there are only 8 campgrounds listed so I was wondering if any of you could make any recommendations as to which is the best.  Also if you know of a good campground around Chattanooga I will be stopping through there on the way.  As always thanks for any help.  RV Dreams is the best!!
Billy

Moonshine Creek Campground is 5.2 miles from Maggie Valley and about 2 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway.  We spent a week and shall return anytime in this area.  It is in Balsam, NC.  The roads going in are good.  We had no problems at all with a 40' DP.  A couple of times we wondered with the curves and wish there had been a sign saying "Just a little further."  But it was worth it.  The CG is located in a small valley between two mini-mountains.  A lovely creek runs right past most of the sites.  We loved it and explored Maggie Valley, Waynesville, Lake Junaluska, Asheville and all the nooks and crannys in the area.

We rated Moosnhine Creek high.  The management and workcampers were great!

We stayed at Creekwood Farm near Waynesville. It was a really nice Passport America campground and not that far from Maggie Valley. Mind you that was in 2004 but we really liked it there.

I love the comment, "only 8 campgrounds" since in many areas there might only be one or two.

Another vote for Creekwood Farm where we stayed in April 2008.

Thanks folks that will give me some other choices. I don't know I just thought with it being at the base of the Smokies there would be more campgrounds. Since this was the first time we have been there we wanted a campground that we knew we could have a little more room. I will be checking these out.
Thanks again,
Billy

I lived in Waynesville for a few years and loved it. For a commercial campground I vote for Creekwood Farms too. Nice people and only $17.50 with a Passport USA discount. Unfortunately theu block out the prime months of July, August and October (which is when I like to camp in the Smokies.)

Last October I camped in Cataloochee (only $17 but no hookups.) They do have restrooms and water available though. For me it's the ultimate camping experience. I feel closer to God in his mountains than in any man made house of worship. It's at the end of a narrow, twisty, gravel road, so it's a little tough to get to, but worth every hairpin turn! The majestic rutting elk in the forest primeval are breathtaking. I didn't see any bears this trip, but I have every other time I've gone there. Here's a couple pic's.

Here's the creek behind right the campsite, and my DW and Aliner:
