I recommend it with all my heart❤️ This is a beautiful and clean place in the wild. 15 minutes to Carvers Gap. Clean and warm toilets and showers. The parking lot has water, electricity and sewer. No more than two cars are allowed per parking lot. After 10 pm it's quiet. There is a table with a bench and a place for a fire, the grill as well. An armful of firewood costs $6 on site. 🍁Autumn is a great time to visit. 👆Don't forget warm clothes, these are real mountains with changeable weather.
What a treat it was to stay here for a couple of nights! Being campground hosts in NC, we appreciated the hospitality and how well taken care of the campground is. The Doe river and the Fred Behrend trail were wonderful. So many deer in the campground and surrounding area!
Absolutely beautiful. A little tight on the upper half. But easily doable for sure. Seen some fairly big rigs come through up top. Beautiful lower section as well. I think the only downfall was when everyone is leaving the dump area gets real crowded and it's hard to maneuver. Would be so much easier if they would cut the curb and open up an exit only side. But the creek and the trails through the campground was amazing. Very peaceful and relaxing 😌
Fine campground on the Doe River with paved roads & parking pads, water, electric (except tent area), picnic table, fire ring, & grills. The parking pads are "level enough" - plan on doing some leveling, except perhaps in the flat area (camp area 1) behind the check in station. The roads into the other areas are pretty steep, especially in area 5 - even though the site driveways are nearly level, you'll need to back uphill into the driveway for most sites. The check in station is also the camp store, with some basic supplies. Behind the store, beside the entrance to camp area 1, is the dump station. You'll need to make some moderately sharp turn in the parking area to get positioned at the dump station. Dumpsters are also located in this parking lot - nearly .4 miles from my campsite. The bathhouses are small but clean. Update: I had a 1-bar Verizon cell signal when camping in the vicinity of bathhouse #5, but when I camped near bathhouse #4, I had no signal. The park's (unsecure) Wifi was good at both campsites for me.
Beautiful place. Awesome camp hosts! We stayed at site #44. Smallest site but backs up to the creek with an awesome view and sound! Power/electric, water, bath, wifi (works randomly).
Mike and Cheryl here. We have a 44 foot Class A RV. Here is my review of Roan Mountain State Park Campground. Road to: Overall good, but a little narrow, twisty and hilly at times. Road inside: Mostly paved but they do have a few potholes. Trees: Could use some trimming. The trees over our site were touching the roof of our motorhome. Check in: Small size office right at entrance. Parking: Medium size parking area. Seasonal campers: No. Signage: good Site 48: Gravel pad, but level. Had table and fire pit. View: View of river from a distance. The river is beautiful even with the earlier flood. Site spacing: Good spacing. Bathhouse: Nice. Laundry room: Small. Swimming pool: None. Club house: No. Fitness area: No. Grounds: Good. TV: None. Wifi: Good. So here is the bad: 1) The river flooded during the hurricane. The grounds along the river was destroyed, but they are working on it. 2) The bridge to the upper campground was destroyed. 3) Trees need to be trimmed. Travel Far, Dream Big, Live Well...
I’m so excited to come back here it’s such a hidden gem!! We got a last minute first come first serve site, right on the creek. Very spacious and private sites, large enough for multiple cars. Water, grill, table, and fire pit all on the site. Multiple bathrooms as well with hot showers. The ranger was so friendly, and made us feel safe being there as well. We were able to buy bundles of wood from the ranger. This is was so peaceful and beautiful!
Friendly staff - nice camp sites Closures on trails, etc clearly marked (repair from hurricane)
