2010 Camper Comments

Our visit to Mountain Stream Nov 25-28 2010 Thanksgiving weekend. Avery & I had a great time. We enjoyed the Thanksgiving lunch and the fellowship. The weather was cool, cold at times, but great. This is a great campground & we love coming here. Ron & Becky have done a great job. I’m hoping we can come back in 2011! Thanks Ron & Becky for your friendship & kindness.

This is a really good RV park. The creek sites are exceptional. Very little road noise & good water sound. (19′ Travel Trailer 11/05 – 11/07)

Well kept & very clean. Bath house was warm and updated. Other campers were very nice. Had a wonderful time & we will be back. The drive up the mountain was beautiful and no problem for 21 ft RV. Thanks for a great time. (21′ Class C 11/05 – 11/07)
Danny & Amy Thorton Inman, SC Site 25 11/07/2010
Beautiful sites! A serene and peaceful setting. Listened to the babbling brook all night. Your attention to detail and the extra special touches such as the deck seating, the gardens and grounds was very much appreciated. Thank you for your warm hospitality! Hate to leave but hope to return again soon. (34′ Motorhome 11/02 – 11/03)

Sammy & Dottie Smith Jacksonville, NC Site 02 11/02/2010
Ron & Becky, we had such a great time this weekend. We certainly enjoyed the covered dish on Saturday night and the singing was terrific. The kids in the park were so excited during the “trick or Treat” hour. Your park is so beautiful at any time of the year. We will be back. We will tell our friends who camp about your park and its peaceful surroundings. Thanks. (30′ 5th Wheel 10/29 – 11/01)
Jim & Rebecca Allen Mocksville, NC Site 02 11/01/2010
We truly had a great time in your camp site. First time we had ever been. You came highly recommend. Everybody we met was very nice. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for a family oriented quiet get away. Very nice owners. Really neat having our camper back right up to river. We will be coming back. (26′ Travel Trailer 10/29 – 10/31)
William Gilbert Apex, NC Site 12 11/01/2010
Your logo of “The Prettiest Little Park This Side of Heaven” hit it right on. Nicely kept, wonderful managers. You can tell you are Christians by your love, your compassion and your attitude. It was a pleasure to spend the last weekend of Oct. here. Beautiful sites, a well maintained park. Lord willing, you will see us again. (36′ Motorhome 10/28 – 11/01)
Rob & Janice Walters Telford, TN Site 23 11/01/2010
This was our second visit and we enjoyed it as much as the first. Out of all the campgrounds we have been to, this is our favorite so far. Both visits we have met some of the nicest people, including yourselves. thanks. (30′ Travel Trailer 10/29 – 10/31)
Gus & Kerri Navarro Iron Station, NC Site 14 10/31/2010
This campground was the nicest one we saw in Marion. The people, owners & guests, were very nice. The campground was very clean and the bathrooms were extra nice & clean. We enjoyed our stay here and plan to come back. (Pop-Up 10/29 – 10/31)
Tony & Sheila Baldwin Clinton, NC Site 35 10/31/2010
We have stayed a few times before and have always found this campground to be a wonderful place for enjoying the mountains. This time we had rain and lots of it. In spite of that, we had no puddles to jump and washing away of the ground beneath us. One more thing to love about this place. (25′ Travel Trailer 10/24 – 10/29)
Charles & Carolyn Morrison Littleton, NC Site 14 10/29/2010
Had a great time as always. Sites are beautiful, campers friendly, owners are the sweetest people you will meet and so helpful. They really try to make your stay enjoyable. Sat. nights are great with music or not. Good old fellowship. (Pop-Up & 23′ Travel Trailer 10/22 – 10/24)
Charles & Patty Joyner Bailey, NC Site 22 10/24/2010
Harold & Donna Brantley Bailey, NC Site 23 10/24/2010
This is our second stay at Mountain Stream. What a perfect get-away from our busy lives. We’ll come back over & over again. (23′ Travel Trailer 10/21 – 10/24)
Warren & Cynthia Young Creedmoor, NC Site 25 10/24/2010
Beautiful, well maintained park with excellent accommodations. Ron & Becky are very attentive and helpful. The limited availability and speed of the Wi-Fi are a slight concern, but, after all, we are camping. Really enjoyed our stay and plan to return to visit more of the many nearby attractions that we didn’t have time for this trip. (40′ 5th Wheel 10/20 – 10/24)
John & Nancy Wilkinson Kill Devil Hills, NC Site 28 10/24/2010
Our fall ritual this year was fantastic. We spent our 3rd consecutive annual trip enjoying cool, beautiful nights around the campfire and rode forever on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Site 30 was improved since our last visit & now has a wonderful upper deck/fire ring area where we spent hours watching & listening to Buck Creek flowing behind our campsite. Thanks again, Ron & Becky, for being wonderful hosts. We will see you again next October! (37′ 5th Wheel 10/17 – 10/23)
Rodney & Amy Spear West Point, GA Site 30 10/23/2010
We love this campground and will continue to camp here as often as possible. This RV park is so nice and clean and with the pretty white gravel there is no dirt or mud to worry about. We met such nice campers from Daytona, FL and Greenville, NC who we really enjoyed talking with and getting to know. Just as we did, both of these campers found this perfect RV park on-line. This RV park is definitely a 10. Found nothing wrong. (24′ Travel Trailer 10/17 – 10/22)
Carl & Shelby Clayton Maiden, NC Site 03 10/22/2010
Mountain Stream is one of the nicest campgrounds you will find anywhere. This was our second visit. one in the summer of 2008 and one in the fall of 2010. Both times were beautiful and friendly. This is a great place to camp and relax. Looking forward to many more visits. (36′ Motorhome 10/11 – 10/17)
Alan & June Reed Zephyrhills, FL Site 04 10/22/2010
It was a long haul from Daytona Beach to Mountain Stream RV Park, but well worth the time and distance. The park is well managed and maintained and our stay at Mt. Stream will be long remembered. The sound of the stream rippling past our site was therapeutic as was the overall quietness of the park. Our next door (site) neighbors were native North Carolinians and were very nice which contributed to our pleasant experience at Mt. Stream. The beauty of North Carolina surrounds you so at least for a short while you can pretend you’re in Heaven. (16′ Travel Trailer 10/17 – 10/22)
Fred & Ute Dunbar Port Orange, FL Site 01 10/20/2010
1st class all the way!! Beautiful, manicured grounds; immaculate bath house and some of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet! We strongly recommend this park! Definitely a “do again”! (18′ Travel Trailer 10/15 – 10/17)
Mitch & Ann Faulk Rock Hill, SC Site 06 10/17/2010
Very Quiet place. Clean & close to hiking trails on Mt. Mitchell & Parkway (28′ Travel Trailer 10/09 – 10/16)
Tom & Terri Mitchell Denver, NC Site 14 10/16/2010
Cathy and I camped with you at Mountain Stream RV Park this past weekend, 10-8-10 to 10-10-10. In the rush of packing up we failed to leave an evaluation of our stay with you. Please accept this email as such. Everything you advertise on your website and brochures we found to be quite true. We had an exceptional experience in your beautiful RV park. It was quiet, relaxing, and well laid out with roomy sites…..our site being #7 on the beautiful, clear, noisy stream. The park, the restrooms, and the showers were neat and clean. We found both of you to be perfect owners/hosts. Saturday night we enjoyed the delicious food and fellowship at the covered dish supper. While lightly attended on this particular evening there was plenty of food for all. We were entertained by the Brothers Redeemed Quartet following supper and they were very good. While there was a chill in the air their warm spirits and testimony brought warmth to our hearts. This was our first visit to Mountain Stream, but certainly it will not be our last. We will return many times to enjoy this little piece of Heaven, as well as the beautiful mountains surrounding you. I see you have a Spring clean-up weekend for the park…..I will plan to be there if at all possible. Thanks again for a beautiful weekend. God Bless You Both. (19′ Travel Trailer 10/08 – 10/10)
Charlie & Cathy Vickers Greensboro, NC Site 07 10/12/2010
A great campsite! Clean, very nice bathhouse, gravel sites, etc. Friendly. The trip on RT80 down from the Parkway is curvy but well worth it. (25′ Class C 10/07 – 10/08)

Note: we really don’t recommend coming down RT80 from the Parkway in an RV. The 5 miles between here and the Parkway is fairly steep and has a number of switchback curves up near the Parkway. But the 7 miles on RT80 coming up from US70 isn’t too bad. – Ron
John Righi Fairfax, VA Site 08 10/08/2010
This is a beautiful location and the park is very well maintained. The hosts are friendly and helpful, yet not intrusive. I highly recommend it! (30′ Travel Trailer 10/03 – 10/06)
Fred Racey Fuquay Varina, NC Site 03 10/06/2010
This has been the best camping site we have stayed at. Nice, friendly people, beautiful, clean campground, excellent entertainment on Saturday night. Enjoyed the nice warm showers & clean bathrooms. Camping beside the creek was so relaxing! We will definitely come back again & again! Thank you. (Pop-Up 10/01 – 10/03)
Harold & Nancy Overcash Mooresville, NC Site 08 10/03/2010
Richard & Joy Mauney Mooresville, NC Site 09 10/03/2010
First of all! Landscaping and sites are the neatest we have seen! Nice level lots! Bathhouse is also very neat & clean! (Pop-Up 10/01 – 10/03)
Danny & Tannia Shumate Millers Creek, NC Site 16 10/03/2010
Mountain Stream is beautiful and peaceful. We loved that it was a quiet, relaxing environment without any traffic. We also enjoyed taking a hike in the Blue Ridge Mtns that were close by. We will definitely be back. (21′ Travel Trailer 09/26 – 09/29)
Bob, Jenn, Derin (5) & Noah (3) Kissinger Aberdeen, NC Site 26 09/29/2010
Beautiful campground! Enjoyed Mtn Stream and Sat nite covered dish & singing. Frostie (my dog) enjoyed the stream and meeting other dogs. Not sure how other dogs liked him. A little too much rain, but didn’t mind, we need the rain & God knows best. Hope to come back soon. (Pop-Up 09/24 – 09/28)
Willie & Betsy Dalton Madison, NC Site 12 09/27/2010
Beautiful RV Park. Quiet and so relaxing. Will absolutely return for another visit. Blessings to you both. (30′ 5th Wheel 09/19 – 09/26)
Jim & Rebecca Allen Mocksville, NC Site 01 09/26/2010
Just spent 4 nights at Mountain Stream RV Park. Didn’t get to meet Becky during our stay, but Ron was very pleasant and helpful. Lovely park, well maintained (bathrooms are spotless), great site w/deck over the stream. Peaceful and relaxing. Not far to Mt. Mitchell and Little Switzerland. Would definitely recommend. (35′ Motorhome 09/20 – 09/24)
Manfred & Linda Kube Norris, TN Site 16 09/24/2010
We had a wonderful 7 days at Mountain Stream RV Park (MSRP). Your park is so quite, clean and well arranged to get RV’s parked. The Saturday night wiener roast and sing was great. The sound of the stream was so soothing and relaxing. While in the area we checked out 5 other campgrounds and none compared to MSRP, so we will return the next time we are coming to the area. Thanks for a great week. (28′ Travel Trailer 09/13 – 09/20)
Dolan & Lena Brown Wallace, NC Site 23 09/23/2010
We recently had to go from Atlanta to Elkton, VA, for a funeral. As there were going to be many family members there we took our small T@B camper and “camped” in my sister-in-law’s side yard. On the way home we decided to stop for the night at Mountain Stream RV Park. We found your park to be beautiful with well manicured landscaping, and extra clean bathrooms. We had a very peaceful and restful nights sleep listening to the stream as we dozed off. We especially liked the view from site 16 with the deck over the stream. Ron and Becky were wonderful hosts and Ron was especially helpful when I almost ran out of gas in my tow vehicle. We had our two Shih Tzus with us and they too enjoyed the mountain air and your beautiful campground. We look forward to returning soon when we can spend more time and enjoy some of your special activities. We highly recommend Mountain Stream RV Park! (16′ Travel Trailer 09/19 – 09/20)
Mike & Jackie McFarland Auburn, GA Site 16 09/22/2010
We had a great week-end of rest & relaxation! It was so wonderful to be lulled to sleep by the stream in paradise! The campground is very neat and clean. We are very happy to have a travel trailer again so we may come more often. Ray would like to suggest trimming the hanging tree on the left as you round the turn coming into the office and possibly have badminton in the center field. See you in October. (32′ Travel Trailer 09/17 – 09/19)
Ray & Colleen Griffiths Weaverville, NC Site 09 09/21/2010
Owner’s Comment: We don’t prune the weeping cherry by the office any more because when we do, people tend to cut the corner too close and tear up the side of their camper by hitting the very large hemlock tree that lives next to the weeping cherry. This hemlock is 70′ tall or better and people don’t seem to see it unless they are looking up. When we leave the weeping cherry “shaggy”, people see it and swing wide missing the hemlock. The weeping cherry branches are very thin and flexible and don’t cause any damage to a camper if they are hit.

We agree that badminton in the center sounds like a good idea. But when we tried it a few years ago, it just didn’t work out. The equipment was pretty much destroyed in just a few days. So we decided that if folks wanted to play badminton, they can bring their own stuff – and many have.
We have been camping for over 35 years & this campground is the best that we’ve ever been at! You can see the care that the owners put into upkeep & the shrubbery & flowers that have been planted. We’ll be back with the grandkids when soccer & band activities are done. Keep up the good work. (21′ Travel Trailer 09/17 – 09/19)
Bob & Laura Johansen Denver, NC Site 16 09/19/2010
I hated t leave here! Your campground is quiet, so clean and so pretty! Sitting on the deck overlooking the stream (my own deck at my own campsite!) gave me 2 of the most peaceful, relaxing days I’ve had in years. Thank you so much for creating and sharing such a beautiful place in the mountains. (21′ Class C 09/14 – 09/16)
Johanna Hutson Savannah, GA Site 16 09/16/2010
Great campground, peaceful, relaxing. We will be back. Love the swing on site #13. Kayla says thanks for the memories. (30′ Travel Trailer 09/09 – 09/12)
Dana & Sherry Crump (and 8 year old Granddaughter Kayla) Charlotte, NC Site 13 09/11/2010
We have stayed with you twice this summer and had nice experiences both times. We have also found new places to explore around the area. Wed would enjoy a fire ring in the center of the grass area to share time with other campers behind the pavilion. It would be nice to have that after dark fire ring campfire with other campers in the evening. Please consider it. (26′ Travel Trailer 09/02 – 09/06)
Dale & Carolyn Grant Limestone, TN Site 01 09/06/2010
We thoroughly enjoyed our 2010 Labor Day weekend in spot #2. Kids had a lot of fun playing in the stream! The Rubber Ducky Race was great fun (we only wished we knew about it beforehand!) The RV Park is immaculate and Ron & Becky treated us like family. Thanks! (33′ Travel Trailer 09/02 – 09/06)
Jeff & Laurel Murphy (and Family) New Bern, NC Site 02 09/05/2010
Beautiful! Thank you! Enjoyed our Labor Day weekend! (21′ Travel Trailer 09/03 – 09/06)
Dwight & Donna Dixon Concord, NC Site 17 09/05/2010
This surely is a place to visit as often as you can! We were just here a few weeks ago and had such a great time that we came back for another visit this week. You will always find this park clean and beautiful with flowers growing everywhere; and you surely will find Ron & Becky with a smile saying “Welcome”. Look forward to coming again. (40′ Motorhome 08/29 – 09/03)
David & Patricia Broyhill Mooresville, NC Site 03 09/03/2010
My husband and I stayed in your park last weekend in site #23…..Aug 27-29. I just wanted to let you know that the park is exactly the way your website described it. Our weekend was very relaxing sitting out beside the creek and the highlight was the gospel singing on Sat. night. Thanks so much and we will hopefully have the opportunity to come again. We have sent your website to many of our camper friends and recommended it highly. (36′ 5th Wheel 08/27 – 08/29)
Billy & Sharon Lowder Albemarle, NC Site 23 09/02/2010
Agreed, the prettiest little park! Well kept, friendly, and one of the most relaxing places we have ever stayed. Great for a lot of day trips – Mt. Mitchell, Spruce Pine for gem mining, 1-1/2 hours to Blowing Rock and more. Plan to return ASAP! Their website is the best I have ever come across! Well done. (40′ Motorhome 08/28 – 09/01)
Frank & Dinah Harmstad Grovetown, GA Site 14 09/01/2010
Ron & Becky – Katie & I greatly enjoyed this wonderful home-away-from-home. It is just beautiful!! You guys do a super job in every way. We look forward to our next trip to this area – and this warm & friendly campground. (36′ Motorhome 08/26 – 08/30)
Dick & Katie Haug Prosperity, SC Site 02 08/30/2010

Warren & Cynthia Young Creedmoor, NC Site 16 08/29/2010
Truly is a “little piece of Heaven”. Very well maintained – had a ton of rain and what a surprise – nomud. Sites drained well and were a very nice size. The brook was the focal point and w2e left the windows opened at night to enjoy even more. Lots of things to see & do nearby. Would love to return on our next trip through. Thanks for a great week. (34′ Motorhome 08/16 -08/22)
Carl & Terry Stoltz Phoenixville, PA Site 09 08/27/2010
If anyone is looking for a beautiful, clean RV park, this is the place to come. Ron & Becky work hard to se that this park stays the way it is. We had a wonderful long week-end with our grandson and he enjoyed playing in the stream. We look forward to coming back soon. (40′ Motorhome 08/20 – 08/23)
David & Patricia Broyhill Mooresville, NC Site 23 08/23/2010
We hadn’t had a vacation in well over a year. When a weekend opened up we decided Mtn Stream was our destination. It is always such a peaceful place. We know Ron & Becky love the Lord & use this place for His glory so His blessings are all over this campground. Ron & Becky, you have done a superb job in making this park a wonderful retreat. Thanks you. (32′ 5th Wheel 08/20 – 08/22)
Fred & Miriam Hayes Fletcher, NC Site 08 08/22/2010
In spite of the inclement weather, we enjoyed a wonderful stay at your beautiful campground. The entertainment was great and your hospitality always makes us want to return. Love sleeping to the sound of the stream. (21′ Class C 08/20 – 08/22)
Bob & Laurel Schmidt Mills River, NC Site 05 08/22/2010
Enjoyed our first stay at your campground. Very clean & well kept. We will be back soon. (27′ Travel Trailer 08/16 – 08/19)
Fred & Jean Clayton Belews Creek, SC Site 22 08/19/2010
We enjoyed our stay so much. The landscaping is beautiful (we are taking some ideas with us). Everything is so clean & well maintained. Easy access to the Blue Ridge Parkway! Everyone should come try this quiet, serene butterfly haven. Even saw a wild turkey & 2 babies this am on the creek bank. (Pop-Up 08/14 – 08/17)
Conrad & Kaye Scoggins Rock Hill, NC Site 26 08/17/2010
This was our first trip to Mt. Stream. My sister, Patricia Broyhill, who stays here a lot, told us about this campground. We loved it so much. The stream was so relaxing. We will come back again for sure. Ron & Becky are so nice & helpful. You don’t find camp owners this caring. (30′ Travel Trailer 08/07 – 08/11)
Rory & Judy Crawford Mooresville, NC Site 19 08/11/2010
This was our first camping trip here and we loved it! Very beautiful and relaxing! We will definitely be back. We loved the gospel singing on Saturday night. (29′ Travel Trailer 08/06 – 08/08)
Marty & Debbie Marrow Flat Rock, NC Site 24 08/08/2010
What a delightful experience! M.S., in our opinion, is the best campground we’ve had the pleasure to have our RV in! It is well kept – clean – restful. Having the stream is a big plus. The grounds are immaculate & the wife says the flowers are beautiful. The biggest plus are Ron & Becky – they made us feel at home – like family. The Sat. night meal & singing is a great idea & we loved it. We definitely will be back – many times! God Bless! (25′ Class C 08/04 – 08/08)
Tom & Jeanette Pippin Amelia Island, FL Site 30 08/07/2010
We really like coming to this campground. We do not get here often, but enjoy our time here. First time we were here the couple beside us asked if we were going to the covered dish social. Not having anything to take, we said no. Needless to say we ended up doing KFC, Mac & Cheese and bought a cake – not my style at all. This time I prepared ahead. Made my cake at home, brought a crock pot for pizza casserole. Also brought some refrigerator cucumbers. This is what I like to do. (24′ Travel Trailer 08/06 – 08/09)
J.C. & Judy Johnson Lexington, NC Site 12 08/06/2010
I would highly recommend your campground to my friends and family. It is truly a little slice of Haven. It is so peaceful & quiet here that I was really able to relax. The stream behind us was nice to listen to when you were waking up in the morning. I also want to thank you for giving my husband directions to Tom Johnson’s when we were having brake problems with our coach and also for being flexible with us as we were not exactly sure when we would be checking out. (40′ Motorhome 07/29 – 08/03)
Mike & Teri Augustine Graham, NC Site 02 08/02/2010
This RV camp really is ideal! We were here with children & grandchildren and everyone loved it! The landscaping is almost unbelievably beautiful – flowers, trees, designed shrubbery and a creek babbling along our campsite! We will be back! Thank you! (35′ Motorhome 07/28 – 08/02)
Jack & Shirley Thomas Kingsport, TN Site 28 08/02/2010
You were very friendly and helpful. Appreciate the call back after I sent you and email!! Nice, clean bathrooms. (30′ Motorhome 07/31 – 08/01)
Janos & Jitna Virag Greenville, NC Site 06 08/01/2010
Great park – always enjoy staying here. New addition of cable TV helps monitor the weather. Thanks. (33′ Motorhome 07/30 – 08/01)
Thomas & Michelle Borkowski Banner Elk, NC Site 22 07/31/2010
Thanks for such a nice place for a get away. The park looks very nice, as usual. The cable TV was a good addition this summer. (40′ Motorhome 07/27 – 08/08)
Doug & Andrea Locke Belton, SC Site 07 07/31/2010
We fell in love with “Mountain Stream”. The beautiful landscaping, mountain stream and especially the cleanliness will deem that we return. Ron & Becky, your personable touch with the RV’ers makes us fell like we could live here – We especially enjoyed the live music and church. God keep you safe – we want to be able to enjoy “Mountain Stream” again and again. (38′ Motorhome 07/19 – 07/26)
George & Faye Dasher Culpeper, VA Site 30 07/26/2010
We love the picnic table and campfire set up by the creek. It was a very relaxing and fun experience for our family. The camp is small, but we love it because that’s what makes it very private. It is also very clean and organized. We’ll definitely be back! (26′ Travel Trailer 07/22 – 07/26)
The Rollins Family Lincolnton, NC Site 26 07/26/2010
Wonderful park – love the stream. Need entrance marked better. (36′ Motorhome 07/23 – 07/26)
Carroll & Jo Shealy Lexington, SC Site 17 07/26/2010
Beautiful and quiet RV park, not too big. The entrance needs to be better marked for first timers. WiFi is too slow. Cable needs more channels. NO cell service here! (30′ Class C 07/23 – 07/26)
Fred & Rhonda Rast Swansea, SC Site 22 07/26/2010
Beautiful place. Enjoyed our stay. We’ll be back! (39′ 5th Wheel 07/23 – 07/26)
Ned & Margie Livingston Salisbury, NC Site 02 07/26/2010
Thanks for a wonderful stay at Mountain Stream. Our campsite was beautiful – manicured lawn & white gravel drive. Our children loved playing in Buck Creek – catching crayfish, playing on little rock islands and making new friends. We especially enjoyed the Saturday evening covered dish supper & Southern Gospel music concert afterwards. We capped of most evenings with a campfire, roasting marshmallow and enjoying each other’s company. Thanks for sharing the prettiest little park this side of Heaven! (29′ Travel Trailer 07/21 – 07/25)
Shawn & Jenny Cummings Burlington, NC Site 10 07/25/2010
This was our first camping trip and I’m so glad we came here. You have a beautiful, well maintained campground. Wed will definitely come back and will pass the word on to our friends. May you both continue to be blessed with this little piece of Heaven. (30′ Travel Trailer 07/23 – 07/25)
Gus & Kerri Navarro Iron Station, NC Site 13 07/25/2010
Our stay in Mountain Stream RV Park has been delightful. From the calming sound of a mountain stream to the majestic beauty of the Blue Ridge Parkway nearby, we have been blessed by the wonder of God’s creation. The campground itself reflects the heart of the owners to do all things as unto the Lord. May God bless you in this ministry to His children. (28′ Travel Trailer 07/19 – 07/22)
Tom & Julia Day Buford, GA Site 23 07/22/2010
Despite the rain we had a wonderful and relaxing time at Mountain Stream. The campground is absolutely beautiful again this year and we love doing the pot luck dinner on Saturday night. We hope to see you again soon. (Pop-Up 07/16 – 07/19)
Ron & Susan Geller Charlotte, NC Site 14 07/21/2010
We spent last week in your campground. I have to say it is one of the nicest campgrounds we have ever stayed at. I loved camping right on the stream, and the temp was much nicer than the heat in Orlando were we live. I hated to leave. Your campground was very clean and well maintained. I do wish the cell phones worked and you had a pool, but I understand there is nothing you can do about that. I will be recommending your campground to my friends, and hope to visit again next year. Thanks for providing such a nice camping experience. Take care. (24′ Travel Trailer 07/11 – 07/16)

Beautiful place – well laid out, great sites, love the common “park” areas. Spotlessly clean. Would love to return & stay longer next time. Thanks! (30′ Travel Trailer 07/13 – 07/14)

Nice, quiet and well-manicured campground. The location is a nice break from the heat and humidity of the July sun. We enjoyed the Sat. nite pot-luck and gospel music. Expect to see us again on a return visit. (32′ Class C 07/08 – 07/11)

Had a good relaxing stay. Sorry my new laptop downloaded four updates and used up most of your WiFi time. You should put in a new rule on your rule list that lets people know your WiFi is limited on time. Then you won’t have to get upset and knock on their RV doors and tell them you cut them off in what I think in a rude way. (21′ Travel Trailer 06/27 – 07/03)
Ray & Linda Johnson Forest City, NC Site 30 07/02/2010
Owner’s Comment: I need to respond to this because it is an issue we have to deal with daily. Our internet connection is by satellite through HughesNet. We have the most generous bandwidth plan they offer for business customers – 1200MB over a 24 hour period. This may sound like a lot, but it’s not when split up between 20 or more users. The penalty for exceeding this limit is being shut down for 24 hours. And on several occasions, we have been shut down because someone decided to download a movie, a bunch of music, 100’s of pictures, or let their new laptop download all of the updates from Microsoft. For this reason, EVERYONE is cautioned about the bandwidth limitations when they are given their userid and password for the WiFi. They are specifically asked not to download music or movies, play streaming videos or online games.

 

We monitor usage, but this is manual process that happens as time permits. On average, most folks use 20-40MB over a 24 hour period (some a little more, some a little less). So, even with 20 or 25 folks online, we have enough capacity with a comfortable cushion. However, when someone uses 150-200MB (or in this case 650MB) it can be a problem. Normally, we can identify a problem early enough that we can simply warn the person that they are using too much bandwidth and this is usually sufficient. But if not, we will disable their userid rather than let them make everyone else lose their internet access. However, sometimes a problem becomes really big before we are aware of it. Then we have no choice but to cut the person off immediately before any further damage is done. In this case, all the Micosoft updates put us right on the very edge of being shut down. We didn’t get shut down only because there had been relatively light usage from the others on the system. However, it was still necessary for us to turn off the system for a few hours until our 24 hr usage rate dropped.

 

These are nice folks who have been here a number of times and I feel bad that they think I was rude. I did go to them to tell them that I had disabled their userid and why. However, I didn’t think I was rude about it. I apologize if I was.
We stayed at Mountain Stream June 28-30, 2010 and loved it. It is the nicest and most peaceful campground we have been to. We have found our home away from home and plan to go back as much as possible. We drove to Marion on Wednesday night to see and hear Preacher Dean Silver who was the pastor we came to Christ under his preaching 37 years ago. Seeing him and his precious wife, Carolyn, made the stay so much more rewarding. We also met some very nice people in the park. We really wanted to stay longer than we reserved but our site was already taken. We stayed on site 23 and loved it. All the sites are very nice. (24′ Travel Trailer 06/28 – 07/01)

Been on the road 3 weeks and this is the nicest RV campground we’ve found. Clean, quiet, beautiful and your personal touch really shows. Wish we could stay longer. (26′ Travel Trailer 06/29 – 06/30)
Richard & Karen Forshay Claremont, CA Site 38 06/30/2010
We really enjoyed our stay at Mountain Stream. The campsites were well don and the creek was very soothing. Butterflies galore with pretty flowers too. You provided a very “at home” atmosphere and had everything we needed. If you needed the bath house, it was clean and fresh. A real highlight was the Saturday night southern gospel singing by Brothers Redeemed – fabulous! We’ll definitely visit again; thanks for a great 5 days! (30′ Travel Trailer 06/24 – 06/28)

We have been coming to Mountain Stream Campground for several years. It is a very clean and well maintained park. It is quiet and sure is relaxing with the stream nearby. We were excited about the cable TV. Thank you Ron and Becky for making this a truly wonderful mountain get-a-way. (28′ 5th Wheel 06/14 – 06/17)
Richard & Lorraine Kilpatrick Murphy, NC Site 11 06/24/2010
This is our 2nd visit and we enjoyed it as much as the 1st time. We received the same spot which we really liked. The campground is very, very clean, orderly and the grounds well maintained. The restrooms were the best. We have recommended this place to friends and they loved the grounds too. We rate this as our favorite and our #1 campground. Ron & Becky, you’re #1 too. Thanks.

Coby & Jennifer Watts Davidson, NC Site 17 06/20/2010
This is perhaps one of the nicest RV parks we have ever stayed in – waking up in the morning and looking out of our rear living room window at the beautiful creek is something I have only seen in magazines! How wonderful! It is sooo quiet here and the grounds are so well kept! I love the flowers you have everywhere! We wish we would have found this when our boys were younger. They would have loved the creek and basketball court! You have done a wonderful job! We hope to make it back here next year on vacation. Thanks. (30′ Travel Trailer 06/15 – 06/19)

This is the second time we have stayed here, and it is still a great place! Everything is so tidy and our neighbors were very friendly as well. Ron and Becky were very nice (as always) and made sure we were aware of all the activities they had going on this weekend. When we come to the mountains, this will be where we call home! (Slide-in Camper 06/17 – 06/19)
Roger & Sarah Holt Burlington, NC Site 09 06/19/2010
This is our 2nd time staying at Mountain Stream RV Park. We stayed 5 nights here and this RV park is so beautiful and quiet. The neighbors were friendly. Ron & Becky are very friendly and helpful. They have a lot to keep this RV park very nice. WE JUST LOVE IT HERE! We will be back next year. Take my advice and stay and you’ll keep coming back. The boys had a wonderful time fishing in the creek as well. *One thing that I personally would like to see here is a washer & dryer so we wouldn’t have to go into town. (Pop-Up 06/13 – 06/18)
Joseph & Nancy Salter Valley Grande, AL Site 13 06/18/2010
Owner’s Comment: We really would like to put in laundry facilities for our campers (and ourselves). However, because we are a commercial facility and our close proximity to the stream, the local regulations make it unfeasible. We aren’t allowed to hook into any of our existing septic systems (we have five) for the laundry facilities. For just two washers, we have to put in two additional 1500 gallon septic tanks with a filtration system between the tanks and six 150′ runs. Even if the cost wasn’t prohibitive, there physically isn’t enough room to install such a system.
We had a wonderful time camping here. Our boy had a great time in the river catching fish. The bathrooms are so clean; it’s like being in someone’s home. It’s a beautiful campground, there are so many things to look at. We will be back. (Pop-Up 06/10 – 06/15)

We have completed a ten day stay at Mt. Stream RV Park and are pleased to report that it’s still our favorite camping park. Between our first stay last year and this year’s visit, we travelled to California. During that trip, we found only one, possibly two, RV parks that even compare to Mt. Stream’s clean restrooms, attractive parking areas and the relaxing sound of running water from the creek. (30′ 5th Wheel 06/04 – 06/15)
Hugh & Janice Mills Live Oak, FL Site 09 06/14/2010
We came here for 3 days and stayed a week. It was a very quiet, well-kept campground. The owner went out of his way to answer questions. He provided a map and labeled local restaurants which was so helpful. We stayed by a little babbling stream with little fish which was so relaxing. This campground was the perfect place to explore the areas on/around the Blue Ridge Parkway. We camped here in a travel trailer. (28′ Travel trailer 06/07 – 06/14)
Lynn & Debra Twyman Huntingdon, TN Site 03 06/13/2010
Our family has camped at many places in western North Carolina over the years and none of us can think of a private campground that we love more. I guess that’s what’s kept us coming back for the last decade and why a second generation of our family joined us in their own camper on our last trip. The grounds and facilities are meticulously maintained, the surroundings are beautiful and Ron & Becky always go out of their way to make campers feel welcome. (16′ Travel Trailer 05/27 -06/01)
John & Laurie Fischer Wake Forest, NC Site 22 06/04/2010
How refreshing to be in an RV park that is so neat. The landscaping is very much unusually great. The bath house is remarkably nice. What a relief to be in a campground without drunks with loud noises. Oh how good it is to have God here with us. You can feel his presence in everything. Only one thing that could be negative is the vegetation as you enter the highway-obstructs the view of the road. (25′ Travel Trailer 05/28 – 06/01)
Chuck & Freeda Brewer Matthews, NC Site 16 06/01/2010
One of the best, if not THE BEST, campgrounds in NC mountains. Campground is clean and well maintained. The creekside sites are wonderful & fun for kids. Fishing is excellent there too. The campground is centrally located to many attractions including Biltmore & Grandfather Mountain. Will be back for sure. (35′ 5th Wheel 05/27 – 06/01)

Jerry & Brenda Twiggs Hickory, NC Site 38 05/30/2010
My dad asked me last night if this was a nice campground – without even thinking about it, I said “I think this is the nicest private campground we’ve ever been to”. Now that I have time to think about it, that’s still true. Beautiful! Sites are well spaced, well landscaped & everything is spotless. The sound of the stream lulled is to sleep (& we didn’t wake again until morning). (24′ Class C 05/26 05-27)
Tom & Betsy Kuc Wilbraham, MA Site 14 05/27/2010
We enjoyed our stay at Mountain Stream RV Park. The bathroom facilities were extraordinarily clean and the curtains providing privacy between show stalls was an extra plus! The cleanliness of the campground and landscaping were great. We like to travel and sight-see, so the central location to many area attractions was wonderful. The wi-fi hookup was great and easy to access. Being a smaller campground, we felt safer here more than any other campground we have stayed at. The stream was beautiful and the sounds it provided were very calming and therapeutic. The next time we visit the mountains, this WILL be our campground of choice. (Slide-In Camper 05/20 – 05/22)

Among all of the RV camps we have been since a month all over Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina and then here in N. Carolina, we never found such a clean camp, so well fitted and so tasteful. We have been very kindly received. We have a long way to follow our journey (8 months through east US, Canada and west US), hope we’ll find many camps like this one. (19′ Class B 05/21 – 05/22)

Very nice park! Clean, great sites on the river. Love the sound of the creek. Peaceful & very well maintained. A definite return visit campground. We really enjoyed the potluck dinner & the music was great! (38′ Motorhome 05/03 – 05/09)
Doug & Mike Visser Westover, AL Site 09 05/09/2010
What a lovely beautiful campground. The sites are wonderfully maintained and level. The campground is well maintained and beautifully landscaped. The bathrooms were well maintained and clean. The full hookups are wonderful. The kids loved the stream/campground. We want to thank Ron for his help. The area is close to nearby attractions. We came back in the evening to the wonderful sound of the water in the stream. I don’t think I have ever seen such a well kept campground. if you are looking for a relaxing, friendly campground, this is it. The campground sites are large and easy to back into. The pictures on the web, while beautiful…don’t even begin to do this place justice. We will definitely be coming back. (32′ Travel Trailer 05/07 – 05/09)

We found you on the internet and decided to spend our 29th anniversary with you. It was great. No cell service!!! But did have WIFI to keep in touch when WE wanted to. And we must agree this is the “prettiest little park this side of Heaven”. Also love the fact that there are activities here if you choose to join in. What a pleasant, peaceful experience.

We heard many T@Bbers mention how beautiful this special place is, and we agree – prettiest place this side of Heaven! We are planning a return trip this fall. Of course the bathrooms are a little crowed, but we managed. (16′ Travel Trailer 04/28 – 05/02) (This was during a T@B rally and the campground was full of campers that have no onboard bathroom facilities – Ron).

We spent an entire week at Mountain Stream and had a great time. The facilities were kept very clean and everyone was very polite. We would definitely go back when the chance arrives.

Nice Park, nice site (#28). Would have been more enjoyable without workers next door for 3 days. I did not lay out in the sun because there were 2 strange men a few feet away. Would be nice to turn one site into a dog run with a fenced area – to give them some freedom. (24′ Travel Trailer 04/06 – 04/10)
