Brp Mile Marker 339.5/Aka Crabtree Meadows Campground
Nice, quaint campground off the BRP, near Little Switzerland {which offers the lovely Little Switzerland Cafe, open 11am to 4pm, with an adjacent general store, next to that is a cool eclectic bookstore with art, coffee & treats.}
Campground is non electric, no showers - flush toilets. The bathroom is usually rather unkempt - but tolerable.
Rv loop, tent loop - one car per tent sight. Extra cars must park in the overflow.
There’s a picnic area to the right and up a ways as you exit the campground. It’s lovely and offers a bit of a look out.
There’s an open area in the tent site loop with inner and outer sites, the outer ones seem more private.
Small picnic table and fire ring at sites, across to water.
Dog friendly, alcohol prohibited. $20 a day.
Be warned: Tent pads are small.. and you must keep tents on the pad so if you have a large family sized tent the pad may not accommodate.
You can hike to the stunning Crabtree Falls from the campground.. it’s about 45 mins to an hr round trip.
Walmart is in nearby Spruce Pine for fuel and supplies as well as a farm stand & BK.
NC Gem museum is closeby as well as Grassy Creek Falls, one of my favorite waterfalls.
Roaring Fork Falls is close, off the 80.
There’s plenty of look outs on the BRP..
It’s definitely worth a stop.
