Some sites definitely need some maintenance. Forced to use tent pad- make it level! We slid from one end of the tent to the other in the night. Fire pit was in the side of a hill. One in our group was injured from chair falling over. It was a cold weekend and the showers were lukewarm warm in a freezing room. Rules not enforced at night. Several large parties that went late into the night with cases and cases of alcohol. This is one of my go to campgrounds, but it is quickly going downhill while raising it’s prices rapidlly. Please reinvest in these campsites.

I had a great stay at Julian Price! Check in was easy. The bathrooms were clean and comfortable. And my campsite was spacious and had a flat pad for my tent. the location is great too, with the Blue Ridge Parkway, Julian Price Lake, and many hiking trails nearby.

We stayed here for a weekend birthday trip and it was lovely. The leaves were stunning, the campsites spacious, and very convenient to small local towns (Banner Elk, Boone etc). The tent pad was also dirt, not rock, so quite easy to stake a tent and comfortable to sleep on. My only complaint was the road noise. We heard it until 11pm both nights. Otherwise the park rangers were very helpful and bath houses super clean. Bring your own hand soap for bath house!

Great location, nice-sized sites and friendly staff. However, the overall facilities need a major upgrading.

This is a beautiful and quiet campground in a wonderful setting. Trails intersect the place, and many sites are nearby like the lake across the road, and Blowing Rock only 10 min away for cell phone service (there is none at the campground for AT&T). We loved our time here! However, it was a challenge fitting our 21' travel trailer onto the site. The pad was literally crumbling asphalt with dips and holes and a crumbling rock ledge around it . We had to do some creative engineering to get it level. There is still a lot of hurricane debris on the grounds. Perhaps the loops that are still closed can accommodate RVs better.
