The place is beautiful and very clean, the sites are spacious, and the host during our visit was super friendly and helpful.

Camp host was very nice and very helpful with all questions and checked a couple times a day to make sure all was good. Campgrounds were very nice.

North Mills River is a jewel. Well-run, clean, small, friendly... what else? Beautifully-situated. And my reserved campsite was raked (!) and tidied by the staff before I got there. Top-notch folks running a top-notch campground.

Great sites, easy to access, great fishing, plenty of trails and somewhat near services. Remember this is an area that has lots of wildlife, no ammenities, so don't expect to connect to the outside world , no tv, no internet and lucky if you can get cell signal.

I've stayed here twice and I love this quiet cozy campground. There are some spots that are more hidden in the trees than others, but it's far more wooded than other campgrounds I've gone to. We usually camp off-grid, but it's nice to have clean bathrooms and well water. There is a strict noise policy that does get enforced at 10 pm by the camp host, which can be a good or bad thing depending on what you're looking for.

Great campsite with super nice campground host. The creek is beautiful, even saw a great blue heron fishing when we arrived. Also down the road from the campground is a local live music place, super fun and enjoyed the company.

This is a nice little campground, conveniently placed south of Asheville with a surprise...a heated bathroom.

Overall, the camp site is nice with clean bathrooms. I don't think we will be returning but honestly it's not really the camp sites fault. We stayed at site 20 not knowing it was very open to other sites. Our neighbors were very loud and rude to each other. A family with older teenagers constantly fighting. One also seemed sick as they were coughing/throwing up all night which kept us up and was just disgusting. Also, the campsite seemed to have a straight up infestation of Cicada Killers. I get it, it's nature and bugs live there. However, these demons are, while basically harmless, huge and terrifying hornets. They are attracted to white light at night so it was impossible to have any lights on after dark without attracting several. We regularly heard yells and screams from other campers as the terrifying demon insects we're all over the place. Thus, it really wasn't a bad campsite overall we just didn't have a great experience and it was not nearly as private as I would like so we will probably will be elsewhere next time. But I would definitely recommend for families with small children if you prefer safety, closeness, and clean bathrooms over privacy. We went the first weekend of September so hopefully the Cicada Killers aren't there the rest of the year.

Mills River is beautiful, quiet and clean. Many tent campers, many children, many dogs and many fisherpersons.
