Nestled on the Blue Ridge Parkway you will find Raccoon Holler Campground. Just outside of Glendale Springs in Ashe County, NC the temperatures are cool, the views are breathtaking, and every moment is a memory in the making.
Whether you have a "Big Rig" or enjoy tent camping in the mountain air, overnight or for the season, we have a site for you.
A NOTE ABOUT PETS: Please be aware that while we welcome pets, for the safety and comfort of our guests, there are restrictions. No aggressive breed dogs (such as, but not limited to, Rotweiller, Doberman, Pitbull, Akita, and Chows or any mixture of these breeds) or incessant barkers. All pets must be maintained, leashed, and accompanied by an adult whenever outside.
Nice quiet campground. Kinda rustic. We are in the woods so it's nice and shady. Our sites were not level, but we were able to level up with boards. My only qualm is too many permanent or seasonal campers. I must say even with the permanent sites it is well kept and not junky looking like some places
This campground is a treasure and is very unique! About 70% of the sites are long-term seasonal but residents are allowed to decorate and landscape. Walking through at night is like walking through a fairy village with all the lights. We love this place! Weekends are full so make your reservations well in advance. The New River is just at the bottom of the mountain with rafting, camping, and kayaking. Great fun! You’re also close to West Jefferson, the Old Barn Winery, and less than an hour’s drive from Blowing Rock, Boone, and Grandfather Mountain, and right off the Blue Ridge Parkway. I highly recommend!
I used to love coming here as a kid. My family and I just recently purchased our own travel trailer and this was the first place I wanted to go. We pulled up their webpage and realized we weren't welcome. They openly blast their ignorance across the homepage of their website. We found out that that our dog is aggressive. Who knew? So because they discriminate against all dogs by breed (do they do this with people too?) we are unable to camp here. It's a shame because it used to be a great place. Attached are some pictures of our "aggressive" dog.
I stayed at Raccoon Holler Campground while on a weekend backpacking trip along the Mountains to Sea Trail with some other ladies. The staff was very kind and helpful. They went above and beyond to help us all get situated for the evening. The campground and facilities were clean and well maintained. I would highly recommend this campground for any camper (tent, RV, etc).
A group of backpacking ladies set up tents here for a night and they rolled out the red carpet for us. They made sure we had a comfortable spot and plenty of firewood. I would love to return to this beautiful tree shaded campground. One of the nicest campgrounds I have seen. The bathhouse was very clean.
