We loved this campground it has a lot of amenities. There are a few nice hikes from the campground, the bathrooms are clean and have washer and dryer. Our site was even although very small. If you can don’t choose any of the pull through sites most are smaller and less private than the back in ones. The campground is 1 hour from mt.

If you can don’t choose any of the pull through sites most are smaller and less private than the back in ones. The campground is 1 hour from mt. Mitchell and about 40 mins from Grandfather mtn and Linville falls. They have wifi available but it’s not worth your time.

Outstanding location just off the Blue Ridge Parkway. When we first arrived at the entry road we were not sure it was the correct place. Access off the Parkway at mile marker 324.8 the sign is quite small, probably a Parkway rule. Once we arrived at the campground we found it very well kept, nice sites, friendly staff and properly ...moreOutstanding location just off the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Directly off the Blue Ridge Parkway milepost 324.8. Don't let the intial gravel road with steep grade discourage you the hairpin curves are very managable. Saw all sizes of RV's on the grounds that had negotiated the same road. Our site was fairly level but I did have to use leveling blocks under a wheel.

Saw all sizes of RV's on the grounds that had negotiated the same road. Our site was fairly level but I did have to use leveling blocks under a wheel. First time with full hookups a real luxury on check out day. Site spacing was where the State Park feel was most evident. They have done a good job leaving enough trees to provide ample shade and a sense of privacy. Escort to our site wasn't the most chatty fellow and even though I didn't need help backing in I didn't feel he was about to offer. They have a man made lake on property with swimming beach but the water looked somewhat suspect. That for us wasn't a negative as temps at that altitude even in early August were so very comfortable. Several hiking trails on property but they have a lot of competition being on the BRP. Very close to Linville Falls thirty minutes from Grandfather Mtn. Something we loved and less than 10 minutes away was Altapass apple orchard. They hand you a bag and tell you which varieties are in season $5.00 for all you can fit in the bag. One knock on the campground they rent golf carts which wouldn't bother me if they were electric. Somewhat noisy buggies. We looked at some other private campgrounds in the area for future none compared to the beauty of Bear Den. WiFi only available at office and near B area bathhouse.

This was a really nice campground. There were a few playgrounds spread throughout for kids. The bathrooms were really clean and the staff was really friendly. The camp store was closed kinda early and there are no other stores near by so make sure you have what you need! No cell service but they do have WiFi with a booster at the bat...moreThis was a really nice campground. There were a few playgrounds spread throughout for kids.

No cell service but they do have WiFi with a booster at the bathhouse. We sometimes had a good signal and other times it was too slow to load anything.

Great place with full hookups and plenty of space between sites. The staff was super friendly and even helped us with backing in to the site - so it was quick and easy!

The staff was super friendly and even helped us with backing in to the site - so it was quick and easy! The bathrooms have been recently remodeled and were spotless. There is a fishing lake with a waterfall, basketball, volleyball courts. There are at least 4 trails some with waterfalls on them in the campground. It was also nice and quiet in the evenings and the everyone we met were friendly.We will be back again!

Great location just off Blue Ridge Parkway with proximity to Linville, Little Switzerland, and more. Management was very accommodating and very quickly took care of problem at check in. Recently updated facilities, great playgrounds, very kid friendly. Some campsites have less privacy due to proximity to other sounds which caused me to...moreGreat location just off Blue Ridge Parkway with proximity to Linville, Little Switzerland, and more. Management was very accommodating and very quickly took care of problem at check in. Recently updated facilities, great playgrounds, very kid friendly. Some campsites have less privacy due to proximity to other sounds which caused me to rate lower for noise but it does quiet down around 10pm-8am with no issues. We will be back.
