This campground has become very popular in recent years due to the elk herd in the nearby fields. This campground does not have a dump station or shower house. It does have a small bathroom facility with flush toilets and a small sink to dump gray water. There are a few potable water spigots located throughout the campground. We camped here in a Truck Camper.
This Smoky Mountain National Park campground is located at the end of Cove Creek Rd. which is an extremely narrow and winding road. This primitive campground does not offer any showers or dump stations. Reservations are not available. The area does offer several hiking trails and buildings to explore. Elk have been released in the area and may be seen grazing in the fields. Peaceful, no crowds, and beautiful scenery. RV size limit is 27'. We camped here in a Truck Camper.
Very friendly & helpful staff with interesting store. Great central location in Maggie Valley--walk almost anywhere for local dining/retail, but street is extremely wide & busy--kids & pets beware. Campground is about 50% seasonal/full-timers & sites are fairly small but level. Will probably return--love the area & the $24 includes all taxes, etc. We camped here in a Motorhome.
It was a nightmare! We arrived to find the smallest campsite we ever saw. We couldn't even get in to it. The neighbor on one side had his awning out which came over on us at least 3 feet. On the other side there was a camper with about three big tents that had eased onto us a couple of feet. Even if we made them move and the guy took down his awning, it would have been tight. We did not stay here. We went down the road and found a beautiful, shady place that was 3 times the size. Anyone we talked to knew of that park's reputation. We were told they changed their name from Jonathon's Hideaway to Somers Cream. There are many other options for Maggie Valley. Choose Wisely. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Sites were very small. Need gravel at sites only bare dirt/mud. Bad road noise constantly from Hwy. 279 Nice stream. Shady locations, Decrepit permanent residence travel trailers, and weird people in them. Their are a lot better sites within 3 miles. Would rather stay home than go back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We booked this place sight-unseen. When we pulled in, it was much smaller than I expected. We checked in and proceeded back to our site, which was directly on Jonathon Creek--beautiful! The entire campground is shaded, so it was wonderful in July. All the sites had fire rings and a picnic table; although, they were all tight. Thankfully, there was an empty site next to us. We were directly in front of the bath house. We used it--the women's and handicap were clean and nice. The men's looked like they forgot to finish it when the built the building--unfinished, bare studs, crowded stalls. And nasty! So, for the rest of the time, I used the handicap bathroom. There was 90% seasonal; in fact, I don't think anyone else checked in the three days we were there. Loved the shade and creek, love the area. We would stay here again. The price was right! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
The lot sizes are extremely well-spaced and the campground is very neat. Our site was along the creek but within site of the pool and laundry facilities. The pool water was sparkling clean and heated which made evening swims very comfortable. The laundry facilities were well-maintained and clean. The employees are very friendly and helpful and we enjoyed our stay there immensely! We will definitely stay there again! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Great park, the staff was helpful and friendly. Very quiet with mostly older couples like us, a plus to me. It rained 3 times and roads had some water but not a problem. They have some type of square dancing every night. I would give them a 10, but Wi-Fi would not reach our campsite but club house was nice. The rate is the C2C rate. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed here in a 40' 4-slide motorhome using our AOR membership. The resort is very nice, well maintained and has friendly/helpful personnel. We had 50 amp and table. We were in site G10 looking at the stream. The park is quiet and within distance of The Great Smokey Mountain National Park and Ashville: Biltmore Estate. We had to use blocks under the front jacks to get enough lift to level out our motorhome. Otherwise, the stay was great. We would return again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We camped here for 4 nights with this being our second time this year and will be back again as we love this park. It has all the amenities you could want. We have had sites facing the stream both times and enjoyed them. The staff is friendly and efficient. Entertainment was good also. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We camped here for two nights in our forty-foot motorhome after having our reservations totally botched at another campground next door. Pride Resort is extremely nice: large sites, large interior roads, very well maintained and very well managed. Everything about this location is extremely positive except that some of the sites are not level. We had to move from one pull-through to another and still our motorhome had great difficulty leveling. Otherwise, we would have rated Pride as a "ten". We camped here in a Motorhome.
We camped here under AOR which is $9 a night and had to pay $3.50 for cable TV even though we have a sat. dish. Still the best buy in the area (place next door is $39 a night). Very friendly staff - lot's of activities and great breakfast buffet in the restaurant. Near enough to town for shopping. Very quiet area and parked next to the stream made it nice. I would recommend for small children as a lot of things for them here also. Sign at checkin list dog breeds (pitbull, etc.) not allowed and I only saw a few small ones around. I guess they really enforce that rule. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a private resort campground. We stayed a week in a motorhome. We have a nice stream side pull site with a gravel pad and full hookups. The park was neat and clean and everything was well maintained. The Wifi is transmitted from one location at the clubhouse. We were too far away to connect. Nice park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A clean pleasant park. We enjoyed the stay and would return. It is close to so many areas and activities in Western North Carolina. Our rate was $8 because we are AOR members. Our two small (12 lbs) dogs were not an issue. (800) 926-8191 We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stayed here for one night. The campground is very nice and clean with excellent showers, pool and spa. They have a cafe' that serves breakfast at a reduced rate for guests. Were asked not to return because our dog was over 30 pounds. I could understand, if you have an aggressive or barking dog. My dog is a professionally trained hound dog and is well behaved. She didn't bark and was only out twice to go to the bathroom (I did pick up after her) and walk up the street and back once. Will not return. Taking pets along is the main reason why I camp. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We camped at a creekside site. The park was very well-kept with lots of amenities that kept our kids entertained. Some seniors who stay in the campground also work there. They are very friendly and take great pride in their campground. The cafe has a wonderful breakfast offered to campers at a discount. The pool is very clean. We enjoyed watching the square dancing and attending the Sunday morning church service. The only disadvantage was the lumber mill across the creek that started up very early and woke us up. But even with that, I would give this campground a ten. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Beautiful camp ground and nice location. Stayed there three seasons and last time was reprimanded by management for washing off love bugs from front of camper. I just sprayed the front of camper, not an entire wash job. Walked down the street and the same person was washing their entire camper. Inconsistent rules for all campers. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Some of the sites facing Jonathan Creek are difficult to level. Large sawmill operation across the highway is quite noisy at times. Otherwise, this is a great destination for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We will definitely return to this park. Less that half of the sites are satellite friendly but cable and WiFi are available. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We found this to be a very pretty well kept public campground that was also a Coast to Coast park. They had pull thru sites although we had a pull "in" site facing the stream, with full hookups and cable TV Were charged a surcharge of $6 for Cable TV for the two days. Had to pay for cable even though we didn't want it. We did have free Wi-Fi that we didn't know about or anyone mentioned. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Wonderful park. Clean. Free putt-putt, Hillbill golf, heated pool, hot tub, beautiful stream, stocked fishing pond (catch & release), playground. Friendly staff works hard to keep park clean. This is one mile off I-40 with a well lit entrance. The only reason I didn't give it a 10 is the roads are gravel as well as the sites but they are in great shape. They also have park model and cabins for rent as well. There are activities almost daily. They are about 40 minutes from Cherokee, and a little over an hour from Pigeon Forge. They are part of C2C, AOR, Passport America and RPI. I'm not sure about the nightly rates for public, but if you're part of AOR it's only $9/night. What a deal! We will camp here again and probably on a regular basis We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very nice campground. Like the others that have posted have said, the road noise is annoying during the day if you hang around the campground. Bathrooms and clothes washing facilities are very clean and rated a 10. Sites are a little close but is an excellent location for your base of operations while touring the area. The camp host is very friendly and helpful. We camped here in a Truck Camper.
I completely agree with the post from May 2006. I would give this campground a 10 but there is some road noise. It is very quiet at night, though. The wireless internet was strong and fast. The owners and camp host were very friendly and eager to answer questions about the area. They handed out a welcome package with brochures on the area when we checked in. Our site was roomy but next to the street with the picnic table next to the sidewalk. Some of the other spaces looked close together with slides out but it looked this way in all of the other campgrounds in the area too. The laundry was very clean and moderately priced. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We really enjoyed our stay here over the Memorial Day weekend. This is a small campground in the heart of Maggie Valley. It's close to everything. Even though it's on the main road (all of the other campgrounds are as well), it really quiets down at night. The wireless internet signal was strong. A nice trout stream runs right through the campground. It's actually stocked from the bridge on the campground property. The bathrooms are great. They are not your typical campground bathrooms. There is a house on the property that serves as an office, the owners residence, game room, coffee/tv room and houses the bathrooms as well. The owners keep them spotless. Speaking of the owners, they are new owners since the prior two reviews on this board and they make the campground what it is. From the minute we stepped in the office, we were made to feel at home. They let us know that if we had any needs, they would take care of them and you just have this feeling that it's not just lip service. They are really people oriented. If this campground were more isolated (in the woods) I would give it a 10. The owners still get a ten though. We will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Well maintained park with exceptionally clean restrooms and showers. Excellent hookups with firm, graveled sites but most require significant leveling. Very tight, small spaces. Park was full over the weekend and between trailers, motorhomes, tow vehicles and toads everyone was literally on top of each other. If you want much outdoor space and a modicum of privacy this isn't the place. Very friendly, helpful management. Centrally located and convenient to area attractions. We camped here in a camper.

Clean location on main street of Maggie Valley - close to ALL of Maggie Valley. Beautiful stream with truly rippling waters. Although we used a pull thru, the sites are a bit tight, but accessible. Owner is nice and accommodating. We camped here in a camper.
We stayed here for two weeks, the last of June. Busy place, good weekly rates ($210) was very family and dog oriented. The sites vary a great deal, some large and long, others are too small and shouldn't be used IMHO. As we were staying here this summer, the campground was in the process of changing it's name to Nascar Resort at Stonebridge. Same corporation owned and operated as far as I could tell. Some of the large trees and newly installed light posts make it difficult to back into some of the sites. The park is set up into two sections, one for seasonal/permanent and one for transients. Overall our favorite RV park in the area. Most of the RV parks in this area have been in business for many years and the sites can be smaller than needed for today's slide RVs. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
When we arrived at the campground we were escorted to our site. We were squeezed in between 2 other campers to the point that we had to choose between using our slide (a necessity) or our awning. We could not walk between the slide and the other camper on that side. The campers on both sides of us left early because we had been sandwiched in between them. The sites are too close together. A member of the office staff reprimanded my niece (age 11) for picking up a water shooter in the office to look at it when she had done nothing wrong. This same office person was rude to my mother-in-law on the same visit. Also, my nieces parents had to pay to visit the campground every time they wanted to see their children. The fee was in my opinion excessive. We were supposed to stay longer but we were so uncomfortable that we ended up leaving early and cutting our vacation short. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
After leaving a real bad campground down the road a ways, we pulled in here, dead tired and in need of a place to go. The people in the office were just wonderful. They treated us like family and we had never met them before!! They helped us out and gave us a very nice private site. They even told us a good place to eat!! We liked it so much we booked it for the season!! Would highly recommend this campground. It has 72 cable TV channels, good strong Wi-Fi and very good people!! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This was my first experience since I was a child camping with a camper in a campground, so I consider myself new to this. All in all, we enjoyed our visit. The outside edges of some sites along the roads in the park were muddy, but the sites were fine, considering there had been a lot of rain. The sites were pretty small, however we lucked out and got a site near some trees, so we could not be crowded by another camper. However, I had to pull straight into the site, unhook, pull up, then back out of the site to avoid having to have the back of another camper with there septic line as our "front porch view". Another couple that went with us got double booked, so they had to share a site with another pop up. You could literally stand between their two campers and touch each with out having to reach far. That is just too close ! The next day he helped the man push his camper out so he would not have to break down everything. So, this was a negative about the place. The showers were fine, and the water was nice and hot. The bathrooms were littered with toilet paper and paper towels. A man came in to empty the trash, but the toilets were never cleaned or trash picked up in them. This was the Mens' restroom, and most of my species are probably messy anyway, so I guess this should be expected ?!?? My wife said the Ladie's restroom was fine. The stream was very nice and I caught one trout. The staff was fairly helpful. I did talk with one employee on the phone prior to the trip who was unprofessional but she got me what I needed. The campground was running a special with sites at $ 19.99 a night, so that was a plus ! In a nutshell, this was a good place, and I would go back, because I can deal with the little things that were not nice. If you want a perfect place, don't go here. If you are not picky this place will be just fine. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
A very beautiful location with large, shady lots in a convenient area. Campground is clean, well maintained and very quiet. Management is very professional and friendly. Had a great experience. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We camped here in a Class C motorhome with our two pugs. The first site we were given literally would have touched awning to awning with the other site meaning we would have all been basically eating together with the other site's occupants. This would have not afforded either campers any privacy whatsoever. We asked for a different site and were given a pull-through that afforded a little more privacy. The staff is friendly and there are planned activities for all ages. The bathrooms are very old and need updating. We would probably choose a newer campground next time. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here for over a week, so we became very familiar with this campground. It is in a good location, and the staff was very friendly. They had lots of activities, and the stream is really beautiful. My biggest complaint and warning to other travelers is that if you don't get a stream side site, you are pretty much going to have no room at all. This makes getting into and out of your site quite difficult unless you have one of the few pull thru sites. They cram everyone in so close that if you put your awnings out, they touch the awning of the person next to you. We literally had our awnings overhanging the awning of the rig next to us. There is just no room. It gets very frustrating no matter how good your neighbors are. Other than that, it is a decent park that just needs updating. I don't think we will visit this park again if we are in the area. I go camping to get away. At this campground, you feel like you are living in New York city. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Just received an unsolicited phone call from this place. They call it a resort. The word is used very loosely on this one. Heated pool was unheated. Large fuel tank at base of entrance belonging to the gas station at the top of the road. Wi-Fi not! No planned activities to speak of. A few bands come in on the weekends. The sites have been developed so RV's face each other. Sites are so tight that awnings will actually hit each other. No privacy on any sites. There are much nicer camps in the area then this gem. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We camped here over the Labor Day weekend. We made reservations and were given a site but when we arrived, they had assigned us another one. We happen to be staying in the 'buddy section' of the park. The site was rather small and you could hear and see everything your neighbors were doing. It was a grass site which was nice but had poor fire rings or should I say just a circle of rocks set up to be a fire ring. We got lucky in a sense as we were next to some real nice people who have taking to the roads full-timing. Next time we will definitely reserve a stream side site. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Stone Bridge is a large park set next to a small stream/river in Maggie Valley. Many/most of the sites are occupied by elderly seasonal campers (who were wonderfully helpful to us) from Florida or other far-removed places. As a consequence, it’s very quiet and you’ll often have the campground bathroom to yourself if you don’t have full sewer on your rig. The bathrooms themselves are OK but could use some updating. Lots of shade. We had a creekside site and our kids played in the stream quite contentedly (we never made it over to the pool) when we weren’t off hiking in the Smokies or going to Ghost Town in the Sky (just up the highway). They do have a large grassy area where the kids can play and a game room if the weather doesn’t cooperate. They DON’T have wi-fi, contrary to what I read in the prior reviews. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Excellent campground in excellent area. We had a stream-side site. The kids loved it. They would have played in it all day long. Nice and clean. Also had a fire ring. Site was nice and big. Hookups were good. Lots of shading on the campground. Definitely would come back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
All sites were tight, many set up for awnings to face your neighbor. Had "buddy site",but would not want a buddy site without a buddy. Power was an issue when sections F&G were full. Management knew about the issue, but did not get a licensed electrician in to fix it. Repeat customers say this is a known issue. Pool was small for size of campground. Did not see any security patrol after dark. Probably would not return unless we were guaranteed a larger site and are assured the power has been updated. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We had so looked forward to this trip and staying at this resort. We made our reservations back in December of 2007 knowing that the reservation had to be paid in full and were non refundable so we, and our friends, could have adjoining sites. We arrived at the resort just after dark and checked in. Travis, the manager, escorted us to our site on the creek. When I saw the site I knew this was not going to be good. The sites in this resort are the tightest I have ever seen. After positioning several times we were finally able to get both the slide and the awning both open with a couple of inches to spare. Our view from under the awning was the pvc sewer hookup from the permanent camper next to us. Our friends were to arrive the next day so we just decided to make the best of the site we had. After doing some shopping we returned to the campground to find a fifth wheel set up in the site that was reserved for our friends. We talked to the manager (Travis) and he did apologize, but other than offer us a coupon for half off at a local restaurant, he put our friends in a site down the street from us. The heated pool was a joke. This pool is no where near big enough for the size of this resort. The big problem was the cloudy water that we felt was unsafe because you could not see the bottom. The gameroom should have been marked out of order. The pool table did not have any balls, the air hockey table had no puck, and the change machine worked when it felt like it. When these issues were reported, the staff was unconcerned because they said the games were operated by and outside company. This resort is more a haven for seasonal and permanent campers in my opinion. The creek; I will say; was beautiful. We will not stay at this resort again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This was our first visit to this campground, and I have to admit, we were pleasantly surprised. We stayed along the creek, which was nice. Our kids tubed in the creek all day. The sites were very close with very little gravel. Some creek sites have a few trees. The bathrooms were very clean. The roads are paved which made it nice to ride bikes on. The campground was very quiet despite the tight sites. There were some scheduled activities, but not the children's activities as we expected from the internet schedule. They are getting a new activities director so hopefully they will have some more things for the kids to do. There is no playground, but there is a nice pool. We will come here again We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This was our first time to campsite and we were spoiled! Park was incredible...clean, decorated for Holiday, attendees very attentive. Only issue was that "heated pool" was a brisk 70, if that. They told us they were waiting on a propane delivery. It was unseasonable warm, so kids didn't mine but few adults would swim. We plan on returning every July 4th. Visit Butts on the Creek restaurant down the road (walking distance)...it was delicious and a change from camp food! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Spent a long weekend here with my brother & his family. We had a "buddy site" away from the creek which suited us well. The Shriners were in town for the weekend, but even with a fuller campground it stayed pretty quite. Bathhouses & pools were clean, they even had a band play on Saturday night up by the pool. My only negatives would be the place is a bit dated, and a lot of the sites are "buddy sites" (which can be good or bad). We will return again, as this campground is only an 1/2 from the house, and makes for a close weekend get way. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
New managers were exceptionally friendly and helpful. In fact, the whole staff, everyone we met were friendly and ready to do whatever they could to help us enjoy our stay. We camped on the creek and loved listening to the sound of the water as we drifted off to sleep. The bathrooms were very clean. The campground was decorated for Fall. It was beautiful! We especially loved the swing area. We felt like we were on a movie set it was just so perfect. Definitely we will be back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

My family has camped here for 3 years now. I love this area of the Mountains. This campground is really nice , my only complaints are that the sites are pretty close together and lots of the sites along the creek have drainage problems. When it rains water puddles in places. Other than that it is a great place for bike riding and walking as all streets are paved. Close to town and Great Smokey Mountains National Park. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very nice and shady campground with the beautiful mountains as a backdrop. Attendees were super nice. Luckily, we stopped in for the night and got a site backing up to the rippling creek, even w/out a reservation. Perfect. Everything was clean and well kept. We'll be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stay at Stone Bridge Campground a couple of times a year. The park has a lot of seasonal or permanent residents, but all sites are exceptionally maintained. The campground sites are level and the pull through sites can accommodate any type of rig! The only thing negative is the older bathrooms could use some updating. My biggest complaint is that they do not have any hand soap or towel in the bathrooms! I would think this should be required. The staff has always been very friendly and helpful. You can walk to restaurants from this campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This park is one of the most relaxing and quiet RV parks we have visited. We parked on a creekside site on Jonathan Creek. With the windows open and nothing but the sound of the water flowing in the creek, the sleeping was great. Fire rings are located on the creek bank for those that want a campfire. We sat during the day next to the creek for meals and reading/relaxing. Non-creekside sites are available for $5 less. The sites are very small so not sure how big rig friendly they are. Our rig is 33 feet plus toad, and we had to be careful in the interior roads. Also be aware that there is a drainage problem on some of the sites, so after heavy rain there may be some standing water for a bit. It looks like trees and light poles were left or placed with no regard for RV manuvering. Our assigned site was fine, but next time I will check out the other open sites and request a change if the assigned site does not look suitable. There are several pull through sites but not right on the creekside. The staff was brief and to the point, and we did not see any of them after registering. This park is in the middle of Maggie Valley so it is near all of the shows, close to Lake Junaluska, and a few miles up to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Asheville is only about a 30 minute drive. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Maggie Valley area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice campground for the money, smallish sites, had a tough time getting awning all the way out because of a tree. Saw some people have a little bit of trouble with getting a site big enough for the slideout, but management moved them to a bigger site to accommodate them. I will go back in July of 2003 for a few days. It's a very quiet campground for my family and our dog, a good family enviroment. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
