We stayed at Plumtree Campground & Retreat for almost two months while selling our home, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better place. The property is peaceful, well kept, and full of mountain charm. The sites are clean, the setting is beautiful, and it’s the kind of spot where you can actually relax and breathe. What really made our stay special were the people. Jimmy, the campground manager, was fantastic. From day one he greeted us with a friendly “good morning” and was always willing to help with anything we needed. His kindness and attentiveness made a big difference during a hectic time for us. The owners were just as wonderful. They clearly care about this place and the community around it. Everything they’ve built here, from the cabins to the small touches throughout th

Im pretty new to camping. I haven't been to many however this one was really nice. Theres nothing too fancy about it like many other campsites ive seen online. However, when I think of camping, this is exactly what I think of. Secluded, beautiful view, nothing but a few lamps and the starlight. The gentlemen I dealt with was very nice and accommodating. I did not really look at the forecast before going (i knew it was going to snow) I did NOT know there was going to be a windchill in the single digits and gusts up 40 mph. After realizing that I was in fact not going to be able to start a fire and make dinner, I contacted I think Jed. It took awhile to get a response but he said they had some important things pop up so I understood. My point is, he opened the store for me to salvage my nig

We had such a great time at Plumtree. Jed and Jennifer and the others were such great and friendly people with true care for their guests. Each night they helped bring us firewood when we asked, told us about nearby hikes, and had really amazing complimentary coffee. The store has lot of other cool stuff. They helped a neighbor having trouble get their fire started. Just great people. We arrived later on a Friday - they allowed us to take one of the more remote sites along the creek which had that true Appalachian feel for us. Peaceful and beautiful. Very greatful for them and that we stumbled upon their campground. Will be coming back! Location wise it’s awesome as well. Close to Roan mountain, Linville Gorge, Grandfather mountain, and tons more.

We have stayed at many different campgrounds over the last few years but our whole family agrees that none compare to Plumtree. Is it the beautiful setting, the peaceful sound of the creek or the pond, the relaxing vibe? Yes. But it’s also the people. The owners, Jed and Jenifer, make you feel welcome like family. Jimmy is a terrific manager who is always happy to provide firewood, ice, anything you may need. Warren and Donna are the best hosts who always greet you with a smile. We’ve had a minor issue with our camper while there and no way to fix it. Jed showed up with tools and had it repaired in no time. We had a tree branch fall across our camper after some high winds. It didn’t touch our camper but it was precarious. My husband had left due to a medical situation with a family member

★★★★★ 5.0 Rainey Jay · Sep 2025

We just arrived yesterday to this beautiful campground. We were greeted and escorted to our site by the wonderful staff. Our gravel site is level and spacious with a grassy area, picnic table, and fire pit. Mountains hug the area and I enjoyed watching the sun rise. This is a special little place and I'm glad I discovered it.
