Mostly permanent sites......not too impressed overall.........kids loved the river.....probably won't return because of the remote location .... we appeared to be the only visiting campers there other than those at permanent sites. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Great setting in foothills of Blue Ridge but somewhat seedy. Under new ownership in June 2001. They have great ideas to spiff up the place, but may need mucho $$$$. This place is OUT of the way, beautiful setting on a small river (Wilson's Creek). Tubing at a fee over mild rapids. Cottages also available. We camped here in a camper.
Deerhorn Campground has been condemed and razed by Caldwell County. For many years this campground was a hangout for people wanting to party hearty. All you had to do was drive past on Brown Mountain Beach road and see the huge piles of beer cans to realize this. In all my years of camping, I dont think I've ever seen a filthier or more disgusting campground. Thank God the county officials saw fit to eliminate this eyesore from the beautiful Wilson Creek recreation area. We camped here in a Tent.
This was one of the campgrounds in our Coast To Coast membership. It's a large spread out campground so there are lots of choices. Each site is full hookup and has a concrete pad and wooden deck with picnic table. Sites do vary in length but I'm sure there is one that fits your need. My wife fell in love with this campground. We have stayed here twice already. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was probably a very nice campground 10 years ago. It seems that they have let it run down pretty bad. They have decks built at the campsites that are in much need of repair, and the concrete pads are as well. The staff are very rude, but I found the permanent residents to be very friendly. They only complained that the management never fixed anything when it was broken. There are 3 pools there that were OK, but could use repair. The grass around the pools was in need of mowing and I saw 2 snakes crawling around the pool. Overall I think if someone took this campground and rebuilt it, it would be a beautiful place. As it is now, I wouldn't recommend it. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stopped by for one night. Paid $10 thru RPI. Park is older and seen better days. It's a pretty park that winds its way through a mountain valley. Each paved pad has it's own wooden deck (although most are in sad shape). We were isolated from the world --- neither the cell phone and wifi worked here. The park is plenty big enough to walk and get some exercise. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We have been camping at green mountain resort for about 25 years. Seen a lot of changes, not all for the best either. This park used to be a great place to visit. The 700's were the greatest sites to have, now, they have come in and cut all the trees out, half the sites are unusable and the other half you do not want to camp. The management does not seem to care about getting the sites back open as this has been like this for years. We used to enjoy going to the great hall, now, we do not go due to the alcohol being consumed there. This park needs new leadership and bring the pride back. It is a beautiful park, but now needs a lot of work. Stocking the lake once in a while would be nice also. I think there may be 3 fish in the whole lake. As a members only park, I think we should be able to enjoy the activities without hassle and nonmembers destroying the park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We accidentally stumbled onto this place after dark and had to beg (literally) to be allowed to stay. It is evidently a "members only" resort. In the morning we saw it is in a gorgeous setting, built on several levels, so walking is a challenge if you have any disabilities. We were unaware of any of the amenities, due to the lateness of our arrival. The people we saw before checking out the next day were very friendly. We were glad to find a safe spot to spend the night, but definitely wouldn't stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed at this park as Coast to Coast members. This ia a very nice resort in a beautiful setting. Many of the sites have a deck (all are showing signs of aging). Sites are level with cement pads. Good Verizon cell service. Few sites are satellite friendly. WiFi is available in the Great Hall. Cable is not free. Entrance road to park is narrow so use caution on this road. We would definitely return to this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Playmore Beach Campground has been closed for several years and is now open under new management. The park is beautiful and they are working very hard to have electricity and sewer as soon as possible. However, there is plenty of room for tent camping. There is swimming, horseshoes, putt-putt and more. Wilsons Creek runs through the park and they have a beautiful beach. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
During the 60's and 70's this was a very nice and decent family campground, and very popular. However today that is not the case. Today this campground is a dump. The pool has trees growing in it. All of the buildings and sheds are in a very poor condition. The electric, water, and sewer conections are all inoperable due to flooding. The entire place is overgrown with weeds, and debris from flooding. The only time that I ever see anyone camped there is over holiday weekends and they are mostly tent campers. During my last visit, the Sheriffs Dept was called to restore order when a group of minor teenagers were drunk and disorderly, arrest were made. In my opinion this campground is a place to avoid. We camped here in a Motorhome.
