Rock Creek Campground — Hotel in Hendersonville

Their website states "25 large grassy pull-through full hook-up RV sites". We made the reservation back in February 2021 for a mid-April long weekend. Owner placed us at site #11 because it was on the river and beautiful. When we got close to the trip, I realized I didn't know the check-in time and texted the owner who responded with "We had a flood on 10/29/20 and had to make repairs and sow grass etc. The campsites along the creek are not ready to use because the grass has not yet grown enough. I can move you to site 3. You are the only campers I have for this weekend since we have still been doing repairs." We made reservations in February - AFTER that 10/2020 flood. Why allow us to book this site knowing it wouldn't be ready in 2 months. Why put us at a site where our view was over-looking a 'junked up mess' (see first photo). NONE of the sites are pull-thru. NONE of the sites are full-hookup (which is supposed to be water, electricity AND SEWAGE). We were to pay cash ($50/night) and the owner offered no receipt. Why would you only take cash? (In my line of work, when vendors only accept cash for payment, I won't hire them because they are trying to avoid paying taxes.) The bathrooms have no shower privacy - step out of the shower into a wide-open space, and no heat. Dump station has no dumpster or recycling bins - no dumpster on site, in fact. We had to put our trash in our truck until time to leave.

Yes, the campground is clearly at a state of construction, but then don't take reservations. Get it finished first. And be honest about what the amenities are and how the sites are laid out. "large sites"? Thankfully, we had no neighbor during our stay because we were oozing onto the neighboring site when we realized how close the sites really are - so close!

The main driveway is covered in large slate rock - very hard and loud to walk on. Aside from a picnic table placed at our site, no others were present at the campground, not even awaiting placement as were 'fire rings', which were piled up beside campsite 'office'. No on-site host and no one ever occupied the site's office. Zero security.

There appears no plan to provide asphalt pads for campers or raised pads for tents. Sites are soooo close together, if every site gets booked, it'll feel like a can of sardines.

If your grounds were so torn up by a flood, that was your window to run sewage lines. at least to the inner sites. Space out sites to give people room. Take time to rebuilt - do it right. Go visit some RV resorts to see the potential of what you could be on a smaller scale. We wish you luck, but we...

This is a hidden little gem outside of Zirconia. We made a last minute decision to go camping over Labor day. Due to this everyone in NC was camping and we had to expand our search. So glad we did as we may not have come across this site. A small little site that is very well maintained. Has electric and water, fire pits, and a picnic table at each site. There are bath rooms with showers that were so clean. We had a chance to visit with the owners and they were so nice and accommodating. We would highly recommend and we will defiantly be back. Get out there and go camp...

Having spent a month enjoying the peace and quiet of this little piece of Heaven makes it hard to come back to the "other" world. Rock Creek is at the top of my list of places to return over and over again. The owners are down to earth and will make your stay as easy as possible. While I was there the field across the creek was mowed and bailed for hay. I enjoyed watching it all come together. And all the folks were friendly and could tell some stories about the area. Loved it and I...
