T-17) Tent Site- Park close to Site
Office staff was amazing. I’m sorry I didn’t get his name. E pay was not available. Made a couple of trips into town for cash. The ten site was amazing. Small wooden deck, to use for food prep. Wooden flooring for the tent. And a very nice stone fire ring. The downside of this site is: it’s roughly 150 feet from the office. On a steep downgrade. I was winded on ever up climb, and it took two hours to load my car to come home. All in all a nice stay. I would go back to the facility, but probably puck a different site. Plenty of privacy, though.

Stargazer Dome #1
We had a great time staying at Stargazer Dome #1 this week. Our hosts Pam and Mike were very helpful and communicated with us well before and during our stay, the bathrooms and showers were clean and our Dome was just as pictured. We were glad the Dome had heat and that the bed had heating pads as it got down into the 30’s and we had some crazy wind for one night of our stay in April. There are some really nice hiking trails through camp that we definitely enjoyed. We will be coming back.

Loved our stay at Blue Bear Mountain. We were greeted upon arrival and made us feel welcomed. We even asked to upgrade our stay to a mini cabin and the owner made it happen. The place was nice, clean and quiet. Definitely a place to enjoy nature and relax. We will be returning very soon.

Amazing experience! This is a beautiful campground with well-maintained hiking trails and spotless restrooms. The camp manager deserves extra praise — incredibly dedicated and genuinely friendly. They accept dogs on leash :) and it's just a short 20-minute drive from Boone!

This is a gorgeous place to camp tucked up just north of Boone. We chose a chilly time in March to be there with lots of intense wind and rain. I would love to experience the site in the warmer months! I especially liked the sites down below by the creek and fresh water pond and wish I’d known about those when booking. Our site was lovely surrounded by rhododendrons. And very private and quiet. You do have to hike gear down a little hill to set up at T17. The bathroom and shower facilities were very nice. Would love to come back in the late spring/summer.

What a gem! So quiet, sites were decently spaced apart, and the views were spectacular, especially the star gazing at night. We were met at the offuce with a hearty welcome and specifics about our sites. Sites were tidy, restrooms were very clean, trails well marked.

Blue Bear Mountain was an awesome home base for our NC adventure. We enjoyed exploring the hiking trails and learning about local geography. Mike was a gracious guide that went above and beyond to teach our children about the area. All the common areas were clean and well kept. Thanks for the great trip!

Great weekend staying in one of the domes! It was perfect for stargazing and having a more relaxed "glamping" experience. Would recommend!

Quick trip to the mountains to get a Christmas tree and Blue Bear Mountain was a great spot to overnight. We didn't arrive until after dark, and the relatively steep road up to the camp at the top was a little daunting at night, but the team was kind enough to set up small cones at our campsite so we would have no trouble finding our spot in the dark. The camp staff was very friendly and accommodating. A beautiful view in every direction....we look forward to coming back next summer.

C-12) Back In Site
We have stayed here many times over the years in tents, camper trailers and now our Sprinter. Always a good time a Blue Bear! The bath house is clean and a welcome sight after a couple of days without. We will be back soon!

The host was most accommodating. It was unusually cold for my trip so he moved my site where I could have electric for heat. The winds were way to intense for my liking so I did cut my trip short by 2 days.

The location was great for tent camping. It was nice and quiet. Loved that there was a bath house with outside sink available to wash up dishes. Firewood was readily available and Mike was a delightful campground host. Also loved viewing the local wildlife. Would recommend this place to anyone who likes to rough it a bit.

R-007 ) Hike In Tent Site
This is a beautiful campground and the people who run it are amazing too. They were very accommodating when we arrived too late to hike down to our site and very very helpful and responsive throughout our stay.

T-03 Tent Site- Park at Site
We loved our stay at Blue Bear! Site T-3 was nice and shaded. We had a big area for our 12 person tent, but it'd be tough to fit anything larger. We had great trees for 2 hammocks too. While the site is in the trees, you also have a beautiful view from the field and open sky of stars from the field. Lots of deer! We also enjoyed the campground trail..lots of elevation in a short trail! We were close to bathrooms, which were kept clean. Sometimes had to wait if someone was in the shower too bc the bathrooms are singles with showers (3). The camp hosts were awesome. It was also very nice to have ice available ($3). We will be back for sure!!

The campground is so well organized and easy to get to, plus pretty close to nice hikes and activities around Boone. The site itself is tucked away so it feels super secluded but it’s not a far walk from the car and the bathhouse. We had a wonderful time and wished we had been able to stay longer and explore some more. We’ll definitely be back!

What a wonderful place to camp. Felt like home immediately. Took photos of the Milky Way and a meteor shower! Super close to tons of hiking. Hot showers on site and a dish washing station. I could live here. I’ll be back again and again!

This is not just a camp sight...
Stargazer Dome #3
We decided to come back this time for my birthday weekend. I didn't think the experience could be any better than last time, I was wrong. We rented Dome #3 this time and wow the view was 10 times better than the other dome. We hiked the trail again with our original fur babies from before plus 2 Huskies we just adopted. Mike and Pam made our stay so pleasurable. I am very glad I chose to spend my birthday with them. Also shot out to the Rivergirls club who sang happy birthday to me. If you have fur babies, children, or a large family, check out these good folks. Mike and Pam will make you feel right at home. Mike has a lot of knowledge about the local history. Loved hearing about it. Listen, most places, after they get your money they do very little to accommodate your needs, you will not find that situation at Blue Bear Mountain. Just damn sweet people with a great glamping or camping experience waiting for you. Will go back again and again. Just look at the pics I took

Stargazer Dome #2
We received a warm and friendly welcome to the campground. The dome is beautifully appointed inside and very comfortable for sleeping. Picnic table and fire ring outside are in great shape. Benches around the fire ring are a little unstable, but we had some camp chairs with us and used those. We made good use of the washing station for our dishes over at the bathroom building, which was a short walk from the dome.

T-09) Tent Site- Park at Site
Many different options: tent sites (rustic or refined), cabins, RV hookups and more. Everything seemed well maintained. Sits on 150 acres of property, which includes several hiking trails. Where we stayed was a tent site on a large open field. The sites were in the tree line though, so they were shaded. The open field was perfect for viewing the Milky Way!

T-11) Tent Site- Park at Site
When I arrived, I was immediately greeted and shown to my site. I loved my site as it had a great deal of privacy. One side faced the woods, and the other side faced an open field. It was wonderfully quiet. The shower and restroom were clean. There was ice and wood available. There were other campers there, but there was plenty of space between sites. I did not take advantage of it, but there were trails that I could have hiked.
