I will start with the positive. Apple Valley Farm is a nice RV resort with views of a pond and mountains. The owners at this resort are extremely nice and helpful. There is a nice Produce Stand located on the property with fresh veggies and fruits (which should be mentioned on the website). There is a restaurant onsite but we did not go there (Victory's).

The negative. Resort is managed by Rumbling Bald Resort on Lake Lure. They seem clueless that there is an RV resort that they manage. When making reservation online we picked Lot 133 for $70 a night (we stayed four nights). Please be warned that there are additional fees that you incur. Excluding taxes, our $70 per night stay ended up costing $98 per night (i.e., resort fee [$60], accidental damage waiver fee [$39] and processing fee [$12.46]).

When I received confirmation of my reservation it stated that I should drive my RV to Rumbling Bald Resort for check-in. My husband and I tried calling numerous times to talk to a person to make sure this was correct because we did not want to get stuck trying to turn around a 40 foot RV. After 3 days we finally got the information we needed to be successful (sort of).

The Lot. Could not use fire pit or gas grill. Lighting was not working and hubby was able to fix half as a cut exposed wire was noticed on the other side. Lot was not presented well on arrival. Obviously, the resort did not inspect lot for trash or clean-up.
