Lazy J Campground

We rented a tent site in the summer and I would absolutely recommend. There were great showers, play equipment for the kids, and we got to play in the water. The sound of the river was peaceful when we went to sleep. Easy and beautiful place to be.

We stayed at lazy j campground over the weekend and it was beautiful. They have an ample amount of campsites. They have tent sites, pop up sites with water electric, full hook up sites, pull in sites, back in sites, pull through sites, just a ton of different options. The campsites have plenty of room too put up a tent as well plenty of space for chairs, coolers, and anything else you need. Each site comes with a picnic tables and fire pit, and they keep the fire wood right at the office. I was really hesitant about using a bath house, but lazy j had there bath house nice and clean daily! And the icing on the cake, the employees are so kind and helpfulfull. Our trailer got stuck on the the way out due to the steep hill and the towed out trailer up to the top for us. We loved everything about this place! We will be back, and we highly recommend.

Wonderful quiet campground on the river! The bathhouse was clean and in good working order. The sites are small and close together but have great views and tree coverage above and between. Certainly old school, no online reservations, but it helps maintain this as a small low trafficked campground!

Prices are amazing compared to surrounding pricing for other RV places. They offer a very good thing for a very good price and aren't greedy like many RV locations are. Everybody here is super friendly. Nice quiet spot and everybody watches out for each other. Really close to some good waterfalls and a river runs right though the park. A couple spots are backed right up to the river, best ones.

I can't say enough good things about this campground. From the very nice people to the peaceful seclusion of this place. The LazyJ is a very bare-bones campground. There is not a ton of amenities, but the ones they have are adequate. At this campground, you are immersed in nature. This campground sits on a very decent sized strip of land right on the north fork of the French Broad River. You can tube from the campground or very peaceful fly fish it's cold swift moving waters. This campground is also very well located to get to the plethora of waterfalls in the area. You are also a short scenic drive from Gorges State Park, which I highly recommend. So for and affordable very layed back stay with great people I highly recommend this campground. Enjoy your stay!

Updated review (can't have multiple)
I'm adding pictures from most recent trip and my review has not changed. We love coming here and this last trip was beautiful. I will always come back. Pics are from our late Oct of 2023 trip.

*** Original/first review***
We have really enjoyed our stays and will be going up in two weeks and don't expect anything less! People running the place are super friendly! Bathrooms are tidy and we love being right next to the river!

The cutest campground with the nicest staff! We’ve stayed twice now and had an absolutely wonderful time. Only a few minutes away from Gorges State Park where you can hike to and swim in Rainbow Falls.

Private and quiet. Bathhouse clean. Convenient to Headwaters Outfitters and the BRP. All hookups. Will definitely visit again.

Tucked away in Rosman, NC, this campground is perfect for cold weather camping. The restrooms are clean and spacious, with plenty of hot water. Every site has a water pump nearby, and some sites also boast full hookups. No playground, but very kid- and dog-friendly. With loads to do within short driving distance, we had a wonderful time here at Lazy J.

Great, affordable, BEAUTIFUL place to stay! Friendly folks that own it. From tents to not much larger than a midsized RV or travel trailer set up (we own a 26' RV) I personally wouldn't bring in a class A. I would definitely stay here again especially for the price with full hookup!

We camped for the weekend and we had a blast. The kids loved the creek that was beside our sight. They played with rocks and sand the when they weren't playing in the swing set and the slide! They probably slid down a thousand times! This is definitely s place I want to come back to especially when it gets warm!

Clean and reasonable space between sites. 30 amp service only. Laid Back. WiFi at office. Cell services for calls is good. Text messaging and data service are “iffy” at best.

Bathhouse is very Clean. We have stayed here four times in the past year. Lots of long term and permanents. However their sites are clean. Permanent residents are nice.

The single lane bridge over the French Broad River may be intimidating for some.

Tubing and fishing in the river is great. A lot of tent campers staying every time we are there.

Come and relax at the Lazy J.

awesome little campground near a stream. I got in real late at night in a chilly day in December. Fortunately I found a tractor supply that was nearby and selling fire wood. The stay was awesome but there was a skittish dog running around looking for handouts. The owners were aware and it continues to be a problem. The late night check in process was a breeze.

This place cannot be beat. If you are traveling in Western North Carolina, stay at Lazy J. LaVonda and Jimmy are the absolute best. Facilities are great. Campground is beautiful and easy drive to Brevard, Cashiers/Highlands and Panthertown Valley.

Awesome campground in the middle of the forest. Really good tent sites. Clean restrooms. Awesome river. Peaceful place. Highly recommend.

LAZY J Campground is the most AMAZING campground that I have ever been to in all of my 66+ years!
My girls Nd I have camped here for 8 consecutive YEARS, in a tent and owners and frequent customers are TRUELY FAMILY to me!!!!
I have camped all.over America from East to West coast LITERALLY, and you will NEVER EVER find a KINDER place on this Earth!!!
Not to mention serene, clean, peaceful, absolutely LOVELY!!!!!
If one is looking for any other qualities in a " campground", I recommend that they rent a hotel.

It was a true gem, everything was beautiful about it, calm camping, and your right near the stream. Many friendly employees to help you. Definitely kid friendly, miniature horses, roosters, and chickens that your kids can play with! They offer you a big bucket of wood for 4$ definitely worth it. Bathrooms are okay, pretty clean, just one concern but not that serous since it’s only 25$ to stay with a tent with electricity, it’s the hot water, the hot water only goes for about 3-5 minutes then it gets cold, so if you want a long shower, it’s gonna be cold, shouldn’t be a concern to trailers if you have a shower, full hookup is only 30$!! Can’t wait to come back here. Beautiful and wonderful stay. Very worth it.

Beautiful place to camp! It is quiet except for the main road across the river, but even that is not too noisy especially at night. Firewood is only $4 a HUGE bucket along with a stick doused in diesel to help get your fire going! The management is extremely nice and easygoing. The river is nice to swim, tube, or kayak in and is right alongside most campsites or a short walk away. It is not too far from a dollar store or gas station, but not too close either. A short drive to many beautiful natural sites and hiking trails! You get way more than you pay for and the prices are extremely fair for such a wonderful camping experience!

Wonderful family atmosphere. The perfect location for kids or simply a weekend away by the river.

Great central location to a lot of hiking trails, waterfalls in the area. Only about 20 mins (give or take) from Brevard, so civilization isn’t far. Campsites are clean and spacious, staff is friendly and helpful and the amenities are more than you could ask for. Will definitely be returning.
