N.C.’s Spacious Skies Bear Den Reopens After Helene

Many staffers and volunteers tirelessly worked to clean up the damage.

SPRUCE PINE, N.C. – Spacious Skies Bear Den has partially reopened after completing repairs to damages caused by Hurricane Helene in late September, according to a release. The campground is located near the hard-hit town of Spruce Pine, N.C. near milepost 324.8 on the Blue Ridge Parkway.

The campground has reopened 21 RV sites along with six deluxe cabins. The campground store will also be open for limited hours throughout the winter.

The RV sites have full hookups including water and electricity.

RV sites and accommodations can be booked online or by calling 828-765-2888.

“While the road to recovery in this region has been a long one, we are immensely grateful for the tremendous support that we have received from the local community including first-responders, countless volunteers and our dedicated staff, many who played a vital part of bringing the campground back online while also dealing with damages at their own homes and in their communities, said Ali Rasmussen, co-founder of Spacious Skies Campgrounds. “We encourage people to come to North Carolina and patronize the restaurants, attractions, hotels and galleries and of course campgrounds throughout this stunning region.”
