Plumtree Campground and Retreat

While we didn’t visit this beautiful campground to camp, we loved our visit enough to share. The campground host/owner Mark was so pleasant and generous. Great conversations to be had with him, he’s so friendly. The bathhouse was beautiful and clean, well lit and heated. Towels and individual care packages were available. The showers themselves are private with a changing room via the curtain and looks new. It honestly looks newly built it was so nice and fresh. We are coming back to camp!

My husband and I have been blessed to have found this hidden gem of a campground. We have felt like family since the first time we spoke to the owner and met the grounds manager. We called around and toured other locations and none were as fitting or as serene as Plumtree. You won’t be disappointed when you stay here and the amenities are wonderful. The location is just perfect where you can get away from it all or you can short drive into Banner Elk or Sprue Pine.

Wonderful campground and even more wonderful owners and staff! Our stay in the Coop Cabin was so relaxing. Especially when it rained and we could sit on the porch listening to it hit the tin room. Jenifer, Jed and Jimmy were so pleasant, nice and helpful. The location was perfect because it was peaceful and out of the way, just like we like it. The camp store was fun, local snacks delicious (especially the peanut butter fudge) and the free coffee a definite perk (pun intended). This is definitely a place we will be back to.

Just stayed at Plumtree Campground after Hurricane Helene caused damage to surrounding areas. The campground is OPEN and in great shape. The people are wonderful. They even have a shop with super cool swag! The autumn leaves were still gorgeous, even after the hurricane. I'm a repeat visitor and can't wait to return to return again.

My girlfriend and I stayed here while visiting the area towards the end of summer. The amenities were great. Clean showers on both ends of the campground as well as washers and dryers on one end. To our surprise, there's even WiFi throughout the campground which is a must for accessing the internet in the site. We've been to a couple campsites together at this point and were both blown away by the hospitability at Plumtree. Neither of us had seen a campground owners or employees on site prior to this trip. Not only was Jeb, the owner, waiting for us when we arrived, he helped us hike out gear into the "primitive site" we had booked in their woods. Jennifer, another owner, was in the shop every morning giving us samples of local coffee to try before we started our day. Jimmy, the manager, checked in on us whenever we crossed paths. We booked with Plumtree for the awesome amenities, but will be coming back because of the wonderful people that are running it. We highly recommend anyone visiting the area to camp at Plumtree!
