Let me start this review with disclosure: my parents owned a lot in CRR from the early 80s until 2007 or so. I literally grew up tent camping in CRR at least 3 or 4 times per year. This was my first time back in 15 years, now that they allow non-owners to camp.Let's be fair and start with the pros:The site was very cheap by 2021 ...moreLet me start this review with disclosure: my parents owned a lot in CRR from the early 80s until 2007 or so. I literally grew up tent camping in CRR at least 3 or 4 times per year. This was my first time back in 15 years, now that they allow non-owners to camp.Let's be fair and start with the pros:The site was very cheap by 2021 RV camping standards at $20 a night for standard RV hookups (30 amp and water).We were ~40 feet from the Coosawattee River, providing easy access for fishing and tubing (if you have two cars, you can tube entirely inside the resort for free).It was surprisingly easy to get a reservation for 2021, we are used to waiting up til midnight on the night windows open to get sites.Unfortunately, that's where the good stuff ends. Here are the cons:We were only informed AFTER WE ARRIVED that campers who do not own property are not allowed to use any of the 4 pools (including the one literally at the Fish Trap campground where we were staying) or any facilities of any kind. Nowhere in any of our communications with CRR, on their website or in any of our paperwork is this mentioned. When we called on Saturday morning to ask the reservations manager about it, she seemed surprised it was a problem and told us there was nothing she could do.The campground itself was fairly difficult to access with a TT in tow. We have a modestly sized 26' TT and it was very tight in several turns coming in, the tail skids hit the ground a couple of times and the roads are frequently one lane around blind turns while going uphill. The gate we were required to use was on a very steep hill, which required us to stop on a ~50%+ grade with the camper in tow to input the gate code and then start again.The dump "station" was nothing more than a PVC pipe sticking up out of the ground, which requires you to park your RV in the middle of the one-way exit from the campground and block everyone from exiting while you dump your tanks. This portion itself is on a somewhat steep hill, which meant out black tank did not dump completely, and because this section was gravel, we actually had to back up after dumping to get a running start at the hill as we got stuck the first attempt.The comfort station was atrocious. I do not use this word lightly. These are the same comfort stations that were present when I was camping here back in the '80s, just with a "log cabin" facade applied to freshen the look. The men's room had no urinals and only two stalls, one of which did not latch, and the other was literally covered in feces for the duration of our stay. The women's room likewise had two stalls, neither with functioning latches. The showers were almost unusably tiny, with no attached dressing area which means you almost have to shower with the curtain open to the rest of the bathroom so you have room to turn around. There was zero hot water, so I hope you like cold showers.The site itself almost seemed like an afterthought. The pad was large-stone crush and run and looked like it was last graveled 10 years ago. The gravel was so impacted into the soil, I almost didn't see our pad as we approached it. The pad was not level (not as bad as some others we've used though). The picnic table was in very poor shape, rotting and unlevel. The awning area was not flat in any way, the "fire ring" was tiny and in poor shape and it was obvious that the whole area would flood in a rain (luckily, it did not rain during our stay for me to test this theory). The power pedestal was standard fare, 15 amp and 30 amp hookups, although I don't think you could get an RV large enough to require a 50 amp hookup back to the site.In summary:The site location is nice and convenient to the river. 7/10. The pricing is unbelievably cheap. 10/10. You cannot use any of the facilities (pools, tennis, arcade, etc) even as a camper unless you own property at the resort. They do not mention this in their literature or correspondence. 0/10. The roads into and out of the campground vary from acceptable to dangerous, with a lot of difficult and inconvenient in between. 4/10. Whatever you do, DON'T plan on using the comfort stations. -1/10. Ew. The site itself needs some maintenance and grading. 5/10.CRR needs to charge another 15 bucks a night and update (or just clean and maintain) the comfort stations, grade the sites and provide access to at least the swimming pool at the campground.

This is a beautiful place to visit.... in a small vehicle! The roads are very, very narrow and winding up and down very steep hills. Once you get in the gate, there’s no turning back, so proceed with caution. Once parked, it is stunning. Beautiful landscape, full hook ups. Lots of deer will visit your campsite. Most folks are frien...moreThis is a beautiful place to visit.... in a small vehicle! The roads are very, very narrow and winding up and down very steep hills.

Most folks are friendly but we were warned about questionable characters using the bath house. We had a great time here, but the anxiety of driving our big rig in and out will keep us from going back. I wish the roads were wider...

This is a beautiful Mountain community. Lots to do while you are there and is located near town and great hiking trails, and close to several winery's. I would highly recommend this place!
