Fishing, paddling, and time near the water draw campers to Blue Ridge Basecamp, a walk-in campground set within Nantahala National Forest near creeks, rivers, and a lake. Reviewers note the site includes an island-style setup. WiFi is listed as an amenity, though at least one camper reported intermittent connectivity and limited cell service. Reservations are available. Rates run $15–$25 per night, and campers exploring campgrounds near Topton will find this among the more water-adjacent options in the area. Book ahead for spring and summer weekends.
Description
Forested 15 acre lot with a beautiful grassy meadow, and a meandering stream with shallow spots to cool off on a hot day. Pitch your tent where ever you'd like. There is fresh drinking water, on site garbage, picnic tables, firepits, firewood availible for purchase, and a well maintained portajohn.
We are minutes away from Nantahala Lake, Nantahala River, and Appalachian Trail. Enjoy near by white water rafting, fishing, boating, swimming, hiking, kayaking, zip lines and more… If you're not up for cooking there's a local restaurant on the lake 5 minutes away as well as the Nantahala Outdoor Center a short 20 minute drive.
