Beautiful, Rustic Campground

This campground is conveniently located along the Blue Ridge Parkway. The drive from Asheville is stunning, taking you through several tunnels. It’s a short drive to many popular hikes, including Graveyard Fields and Black Balsam Knob. Pisgah Inn is across the street, along with the camp store, which stays busy and offers many items and souvenirs. Bears were active in the campground while we were there, and the campground staff were diligent in insuring guests did not leave food out. We never saw a bear, but the campers across from us did. The campground is VERY quiet and many of the spaces were rather private. Some sites are very uneven, resulting in some rather interesting on the fly engineering by other campers, including putting firewood under the scissor jacks on their camper. Our site was a tight fit (A13) for even our small 17’ A-Frame pop up and truck. The campground loop road is narrow, which made backing our camper in a bit more difficult than places with a wider lane. It was nice that all sites had a paved parking area. The A loop bathhouse was clean but a bit in need of reservation. I’m sure it was lack of research on my end, but I didn’t realize that not all bath houses had showers. There also wasn’t a dish washing station, which would have been nice since there isn’t water hookups. Camping here really feels like just that- camping. Bare bones, beautiful, and peaceful.
