We pulled into Bear Creek RV Park after a 600 + mile trip in one day....tired, hungry and ready for a break. I had booked two RV sites a couple of months in advance and, since we were only staying one night, had prepaid the entire amount.

When we arrived at about 9 p.m., the woman at the desk told me I owed an additional $8. I told her we had prepaid and she said the rates had increased. I told her I was never notified of an increase. I asked to speak to the manager and she told me that she WAS the manager and if I didn't want to pay the extra amount, we could leave. We were too tired and hungry to go off in search of another, better, place to spend the night so we stayed but vowed to never stay there again and to tell as many people as possible about our unpleasant experience.

We stayed at this camprground/rv park last year for two nights. It is a nice place but is certainly primarily an RV park. When we were there it was the fall and the weather was fantastic for tent camping. The tent sites are small and there are only a small number. The tent sites look over a small house right down a small hill and look up at the butt ends of the huge RV's. There was a small building with two heated bathrooms with hot water. The bathrooms were pretty large which allowed my fiance and I to get ready in the bathroom at the same time. There was only oneother couple there when we were there so there was no waiting for the bathtrooms and it was quite and pleasent. We brought our two dogs and they had a fantastic time running every morning with the other couples dog in the large field adjacent to the tenting area. If you are looking for an inexpensive camping ite you dont plan on spending much tim e at thi sis a nice little place. The people in the office were very nice and you can buy tickets to Biltmore Estate right in the office which is very convenient. It costs no more to get them there than anywhere else and you dont have to stand in the crazy long lines at Biltmore, you just walk on in.
We love Asheville SOOO much but I dont think we will be staying at this campground again. We will look for a place up near Blowing Rock or Banner Elk which are AMAZING little towns.
Hope this was helpful.

This past March we spent a week in this park. We were in a back-in site on the upper level. The park is very clean and well maintained. These is a modem connection in the office. The views from the park are great. A very nice RV park and conveniently located. One of the best RV parks we stayed at on a 4000 mile two month trip.

Close by there is a GREAT Farmers Market that's open year round. And if you like home cooking, try the Moose Cafe next to the entrance to the market. They use fresh ingredients from the Farmer’s Market. After you are seated, they bring you HUGH homemade biscuits to snack on till your meal arrives. Very reasonable prices.
