About this campground
What campers say
Grumpy Bear Campground is a well‑maintained, riverside park with easy water access for wading, fishing and tubing, plus on‑site activities like gem mining and occasional cultural events. Campsites (including riverfront spots, cabins and teepees) are scenic and level, though some spaces feel tight; hosts are hands‑on and often help with parking. Amenities include full hookups, clean private shower rooms, laundry, a small store with ice and firewood, and generally reliable utilities. The location is convenient to downtown Bryson City, Darnell Farms and the national park. Visitors note friendly staff and a family‑friendly atmosphere.
