First time staying in the area, so glad we found this great campground to stop for a few nights and sight see! Spots are at an angle right off the road, so very easy to back and get set up. The grounds were clean, beautiful landscaping, and amazing view of the surrounding forest and the river. Lush grass for our dog to play in, and cozy little fire ring to enjoy dinner by. Quiet neighborhood and tucked far enough away from the freeway we couldn’t hear any traffic noise. Using Starlink, we were able to get just enough signal to stream movies. Short walk down the road to the French Broad River, beautiful area to enjoy a drink by the water. Super close to fishing and tubing spots, and forks of the river taproom. Overall: great RV park, would stay again when passing through the area.

We had an amazing stay at the Gatlin Ridge RV Park. The site was beautiful, clean, and quiet; so relaxing. I could not ask for anything more; we had full hook-up and super fast Wi-Fi for planning out our days in the surrounding area. VIP treatment from Jake is what we received! We loved this spot and can't wait to stay again.

Stayed at Gatlin Ridge RV for almost 4 months and it was one of the best places! Jake is super friendly and professional! The sites are very well taken care of and the view can’t be beat. I love to fish, and Jake was kind enough to let me park on his property and fish right on the French Broad. I recently moved into an apartment but if I ever wanted to take the rv back out, Gatlin Ridge RV would be my choice!

So thrilled to have found Gatlin Ridge RV Park! This small gem has 4 sites and full hookups. We had an amazing stay. The location is great, just a short walk to Headwaters Outfitters for tubing and kayaking and Forks of the River Taproom. Jake and his family were so friendly and accommodating. Can’t wait to go back and stay again. #gatlinridgervpark #campingNc #camping #visitnc #headwatersoutfitters
