The Best Camping Near Cedar Mountain, North Carolina

These cabins may not be for everyone. They are pretty bare bones. The cabins have electricity, but the water pump is outside and the bathrooms and showers are communal (but clean). There is a full size bed and two bunk beds in each one. Outside, there is a a picnic table and a fire ring for each cabin. I think the mattresses are hard, so I usually bring a sleeping bag to pad it. So it can be seen as a step up from tent camping for people who don't like that kind of roughing it. 

There is a heated swimming pool and they do lots of things for kids like ice cream socials. They have a little shop in case you forget some necessities. 

This campground is close to Dupont Forest, with lots of mountain biking, hiking, and waterfalls. For $50 a night, it's a pretty good deal. 

Cabins without the amenities

This campground is so nice. The family invested money in infrastructure and they have quite a few full hook up sites. The host led us to our site, gave us a newsletter If events, and they have lots of amenities. Close to DuPont for hiking trails and waterfalls. Nice, large bathhouses. Can hardly wait to go back. 

wonderful and friendly hosts

Sites are wooded and spaced far enough apart that you barely see or hear neighbors. Has plenty of things to do for everyone. Has store on site. It is however quite sways from town. There is no Cell Reception at the campground but they have WiFi. The WiFi can only be accessed from a few places.

Family friendly 

This is a very beautiful campground. Sites are very well kept and clean. Bathrooms were very clean and nice. The staff was amazing and helpful. Prime location to so many amazing places. The pool was nice and clean! Will def. camp here again.

Wonderful Campground

This campground is very nice. Sites are close and it does feel a little tight, but overall it is a homey feel that doesn't really feel overcrowded. Some of the amenities are spread out and you may need to drive to them, but it's worth it for the great, well-cared-for feel. Super quick drive to Dupont or Jones Gap/Caesar's Head. We loved it!

Cute, homey, close to many nice hikes.

Wonderful campground, campground host are very helpful, they ask you about what you are looking for and help you pick out your campsite, family owned, took my girlfriend there to get engaged, we are now married and can't wait to go back. One of the owners rides a motorcycle, and is also very helpful with directions for nice rides in the mountains

We love this campground

This place was one of my favorite places to camp! We went at the end of Summer before school was about to start again. The temperature was so nice and warm during  the day and perfect at night. The pool was so much fun and we really enjoyed it. We also played a lot of badminton. 

The owners of the campground cook a fabulous breakfast that we really enjoyed. The pancakes were delicious! The camp store was fully stocked. The location. Was really nice too. We went to DuPont S.P and enjoyed that as well. 

We will be going back!

I simply loved this place 

Great little spot, clean area and homey environment. Breakfast on the porch in the mornings! Great little cabins as well. Quite and peaceful getaway!

Secret hideaway

Very clean,natural, beautiful trees , and a nice location.  It is run by a very nice family. We were close to amazing waterfalls and hikes in DuPont forest.  Short drive to Brevard with great places to eat. The sites are staggered down the hillside and gives you a sense of privacy.   The bathrooms were very clean.  

Lovely organic campground

We had a terrible experience here. We rented one of the camping RV's and paid by check in advance. The campground was recommended on a travel group I belong to on facebook. We drove 4 hours and when we showed up and checked in, we were greeted kindly but it went downhill when we went to the RV. The RV was very old(maybe 20 years?) and smelled like mold/mildew. We opened the windows in an effort to air it out. My son and husband thought that it smelled like sewage, and the lights on the black tank indicated full. We went back to the office to inquire about the smell and the black tank. The lady working the desk said her husband would check the black tank after he finished supper and that it should smell like peppermint. I can assure you that it did not. My kids were already asking if they could sleep in the car at this point. The husband checked the tank and said it was empty but the indicator was broken. We were at a loss as to what to do, as we were sure if we stayed, we would have gotten sick. Two of us have asthma and 2 of us have allergies and I was afraid that if we stayed in it, we would be sick with bronchitis as that is usually what happens when I am exposed to mold. Also, given covid- I don't think most people would want this risk. The husband said that RV"has always smelled like that since we bought it." We remembered that their camping cabins looked newer online and thought that may be a better option so we asked if we could switch to one of them(they are less expensive and we were fine with that). Unfortunately, since it was Labor Day weekend, they were all booked as well as every campsite. They refused to give us a refund or offer any other options. We had no idea where we would go as it was 6:00 at night and everywhere seemed to be booked for Labor Day weekend. We called a few campgrounds with no luck and ended up eating dinner in town and driving to Asheville to stay at a hotel and returning home the next day. This was so disappointing as we had spent most of the day before we left prepping food, packing, etc. I would never return or recommend this place due to how they handled our situation, with no concern at all and keeping our money with no solution offered. I can only guess that if you bring your own tent or RV, the rest of the campground is acceptable since the reviews overall are good. But definitely DO NOT rent the RV's- unless you can tolerate high levels of mold and want to pay$100 a night for a worn out, smelly RV.

Do not recommend!

Love this family owned campground!! The sites weren't right on top of each other, but you can definitely see your neighbors with ease. The family that owns it lives on site. They have a pancake breakfast on the weekends, which was nice. They also have a store on site that has everything you didn't know you forgot!! Bathrooms were quite a walk from our site, so we drove to it when needed. The campground is pet friendly!! Dump station on site was convenient!

Cute, Friendly Campground

Pleasant campground, lots of room between sites.  The water pressure was not satisfactory and we couldn’t take showers in our camper.  The Internet isn’t high speed and we couldn’t get it to work unless no one was using it very early in the morning.  If the water pressure were better, I would consider coming back, but it might be a deal breaker. 


Poor water pressure

For a private organized campground, this really is one of the best spots in Brevard.

  

Sites are all gravel. We have hammocked camped here, and this last trip, I camped in my Motorcycle trailer. Great spot to be for riding around the blue ridge mountains.

  

Most sites have electric and water. You will likely need to level anything you bring.

  

There is decent wi-fi, though it can be spotty when everyone gets on at night.

  

Decent 3 bar verizon coverage.

  

Bathhouses are super clean and the entire place has a friendly vibe. Sites are fairly close, but the trees help it feel secluded. Can be a bit noisy at night as sound carries, especially on weekends when there is more campers coming in.

  

Roads are tight and twisty, I had a tough time backing in my 10' utility trailer into spot 220.  
  
No online reservation system. Not really any views. Just a nice solid campground with decent rates. About a 20 minute drive to Brevard and area attractions. But you can hit Ceasars Head Park about 5 minutes due south on 276 for some great hiking.

Clean. Safe. Easy. Good location.

Best weekend ever. This is a really old school campsite - can’t book sites online, pancake breakfasts, ice cream socials, and more. The restrooms are immaculate and obviously cleaned frequently. Much better than standard state campground facilities.  We camped with three young children and they had the best time.  Only semi complaint is they say the pool is heated but it is very cold. So I wouldn’t count on spending much time doing that. 

Our new go to!

Excellent family vacation. Pool, etc. Fresh coffee. Laundry. Dog friendly


Black Forest

Camped here over the weekend, the amenities were INSANE (free canoes, rec room, laundry room, camp activities, zip line) very friendly people and only 7 or so minutes from downtown saluda, a very nice town 


Great place to camp in a lovely town

Tent camping-
 This place is great for families especially with kids. The sites are pretty close together but depending on where you are the trees do a great job of separating the sites. They weren’t too terribly full when we went and because we had toddlers they put us next to the restrooms, which were immaculate by the way. Clean restroom, clean showers with hot water. It’s just a great place. Heated pool, volleyball, game room. If you’re just starting out with kids this is the place to go. 

Awesome for families

As a solo traveler that doesn’t like excessive noise or want to be near kids, I just wanted peace and quiet to relax and listen to the sounds of nature. The owner, Jeanie(hopefully I’m spelling that right) understood completely and was sure to put me in a site where she knew the surrounding sites would be empty for the entirety of my stay and she was sure not to book anyone near me. Yes, the sites are fairly close together, but I stayed during the week and was able to enjoy most of the place to myself ….or at least the area of the campground that I was in. When I extended my stay an extra night, she was sure to warn me that there was a family with kids coming that night and that they’d be in my vicinity. I couldn’t have asked for a better campground host! She had all the info on waterfalls in the area which minimized my planning time/time staring at my phone. And the fact that the place is all pea gravel really makes a difference! It rained the first couple days I was there and my tent wasn’t a muddy mess which is always a plus!  

The bathrooms and showers were clean and the camp store had just about everything you could possibly need in a pinch. Firewood and ice were priced fairly, making it very convenient if you forgot to grab either one while you were out for the day. Will definitely be back! Actually, I can’t wait to go back!
