Mountain River Family CG

[Patriot]

Ollie in the Wild - Hull #634 spent several days at Mountain River CG located in Ingalls, NC. A gorgeous CG and we already booked another week for this August. Excellent trout fishing on the North Toe River, tubing, and one of the most well run beautiful campgrounds we have ever stayed at. The owners are just super nice people and they are campers and know what campers like. Excellent clean immaclate modern bath houses and beautiful landscaping.

A total keeper for us. We even had an opportunity to show our Ollie to (3) couples. Fun times!

Happy Camping!

Lovely spot! 

That's only about 30 minutes from one of my favorite towns, Banner Elk.

For our full hookup friends, are water, sewer, and electric available at some of the sites?

All sites are level and full hookups, we really like this CG…it’s rare we rebook after a stay this is a keeper for sure. Highly recommend!

Yep, it's Carolina BBQ!

Here's the link, always stop there when in the area. It's not too far from BRP, too.

We'll definitely stop next time. Used to be a great place like picking pig in Asheville,  called fiddling pig, with good BBQ, great fried pickles, live old time music, and dancing. We loved it. Unfortunately,  it closed about 9 or 10 years ago. Still great memories. We'll definitely check this out!

Another great week camping at Mountain River Family CG. We really enjoy this CG for the great location and the TLC the owners provide. They are campers and know what campers enjoy. It’s very clean, neat and just well run. The CG is bordered by the North Toe River which usually has plenty of trout fishing and tubing. The sites are a really a decent size and you don’t feel cramped. We booked again for next year and really are looking forward to our stay.

David,

Great shots and very pretty campground.

Hope we can get there this year once I get the TV out of the shop!

We camped in Banner Elk a couple of years ago.  What a nice area.  We will put this on our list!  Mike

Great observation! There are times when I grill a bit more in advance of rainy weather. So I prepare a little extra so that we can reheat in our micro/convection oven the following day(s). No love for grilling in the rain.
