Surounded by trees
Many campsites to pick from. Clean site, flat parking for your van, clean bathrooms.

I booked a tent site in loop c and changed spots after a prime area became available. Very clean bathrooms and excellent hiking available. The store at the inn provided basics but not too far into Brevard or Asheville to stock up. We enjoyed the quiet and didn't have any issues with bear or other creatures in the night. The bear boxes help prevent accidentally attracting visitors and the staff on site really did make this a positive camping experience. I'll be back again.
Had to take the long road to get home and did not waste an opportunity to stay at my favorite campground. As a walk in you pay $20/night for an available non-reservable campsite. C Loop has showers and D Loop does not. Bears were active but did not bother me in the least. I could hear them turning over stones in the night hunting for bugs, and I saw two small bears 25’ from my tent in the morning. I did as they recommend and put ALL scented items in the provided bear boxes, sleep in clothes I did not cook in or eat in, and I had only water in my tent. They couldn’t have been less interested in me. Next morning I hiked Black Balsam and Tennent Mountain Loop. Gorgeous!!! The chicken salad to go from the Lodge store was fantastic! Don’t go anywhere near this place without stopping here!
We have a teardrop and loved our fairly secluded site A21. Flush toilets, cold water sink, and an outlet. We were boondocking so it was nice to have the bathroom there for the daytime. Temps were day 73 night 60. There's also sites for big RVs as well as a tent loop. On the Blue ridge parkway. When we went down into a town, it was about 15 degrees warmer. Hiking trails nearby with 1 leaving from the campground. We didn't have reservations and had no problem (Mon-Fri). 3rd week in August. Verizon was ok.
Couldn’t find accommodations in Asheville so I drove to a couple campgrounds. Beautiful and fun drive up to Mt. Pisgah Campgrounds. The website showed they were full but they have walk in’s available and are cheaper than reserved sites. I camped two nights and hiked Mt. Pisgah, the Fryingpan Fire Tower, Skinny Dip Falls, Looking Glass Rock, Devil’s Courthouse Trail and other fun hikes. Temps were 50’s at night and 70’s during day. Campgrounds are simply amazing and across the street from the Lodge, restaurant (need reservations) and General Store.
