2010-05 Creekwood Farm RV Park in Waynesville, NC

Overlooking Waynesville, NC

We are currently at Creekwood RV Park in Waynesville, NC which is a lovely town in the  Blue Ridge Mountains about 30 minutes west of Asheville.  We will be here until July 5th when we head north to Mackinaw City, Michigan.

This is a lovely campground.  There are several couples who stay here as “work campers”.  Each husband and wife work 25 hours a week in exchange for their campsites.  Four of the men are dedicated to grounds keeping, and they really keep the place looking nice.  


The only downside to the campground is the fact a wood chipping plant is just across the highway.  Their operation is pretty loud, and they start work around 6:30am.  We have gotten somewhat accustomed to the noise, and happily they have been shut down most of this week before Memorial Day.

A prominent feature of the campground is the old barn and silo left from the days this was farmland.

There is a pretty creek that runs down one side.

I saw a mother duck and her little ducklings in the creek.

A nice deck overlooks the creek at one end of the campground.

On the other end is a picnic area open to all campers.

In between the deck and picnic area are a number of pretty sites that back up to the creek. 

The campground is close to both Maggie Valley and Waynesville so it is a good base for exploring this area.   We are just a mile or so from I-40 which gives easy access to drive over to Asheville.  This is a Passport America Park, so it would be a good overnight stop if you are traveling through this area between Asheville and Knoxville in your RV.
