Our family discovered this area 13 years ago when dear friends invited us to experience their mountain home. Their hospitality left a lasting impact, and we dreamed that one day we’d have a place of our own to share this same joy with others.

Superb camp ground… The whole experience from the online help when making the reservation to actually staying here for three nights has been above and beyond. Jerry, our camp host was out of this world. The woman who helped us on the phone when we called several times was always so friendly and helpful. Even the firewood that they brought was top-notch. Beautiful, clean, well-kept, and they definitely care about their campground and its visitors. Will definitely return here.
We had a great time there. The grounds were Immaculate the camp host was so sweet and ready to help with anything we ask her. Staying in the stagecoach was so cool with it having electricity and air but still was old timey enough to get the feel of a old stagecoach. If you’re looking for a place stay in Franklin STAY AT ROSE CREEK!
We camped here for three days. It was wonderful! Very clean restrooms. Franklin is def the place to be of you’re looking to do some mining. There are people that live here year round. We were on site 14, in the primitive area, alone. The manager? Jerry, is awesome! Always made sure we had plenty of ice and wood. After 3 days we moved up north to Pisgah national forest. Wish we would have stayed at Rose creek the whole time. We will be back!
Nice campground! Clean and spacious bathrooms. Nice fishing pond, dog park and pool. Great camp host. Gem mine connected. Walmart nearby for people like me who always forget something. The Chuckwagons look amazing. I peeked inside and was surprised at how big they are.
