    Sunset, South Carolina

    Table Rock State Park is known for being a perfect glimpse into the scenic bliss that South Carolina's Highway 11 is known for. Most prominent to the park is the towering mountain Table Rock, where the park earns its name. This also serves as a backdrop for the 3,000 acre park, and its numerous camping facilities. Below this section of the Blue Ridge Mountains, visitors can enjoy Table Rock State Park's cabins and campground, as well as lakes and various hiking trails located within.

    The Table Rock State Park hiking trails weave through mountain streams, babbling brooks, and rushing waterfalls to the tops of Pinnacle and Table Rock mountains. The views here showcase the entirety of the region, and shouldn’t be skipped if you’re planning on visiting. That said, while the park is well known for its natural features, Table Rock also has its place in history.

    For example, the park’s hiking trails host the access point for the 80-mile Foothills Trail, one of the most famous in the Midwest. Hikers often use this trail to travel through the extensive network of SC state parks. These trails date all the way back to the Pioneers who would use them as trade routes and for homesteading. In fact, many of the Table Rock State Park cabins and other structures built by the Civilian Conservation Corps remain standing and are on the National Register of Historic Places.

    This park is unique in that it is one of only 16 South Carolina state parks built by the Civilian Conservation Corps. Moreover, there is even a historic CCC-built Lodge available for weddings, receptions, meetings and other special occasions. Additionally, the park features 2 park lakes: the 36-acre Pinnacle Lake and the 67-acre Lake Oolenoy.

    94 standard campsites for tent or RV camping, plus 14 renovated cabins provide ample accommodation to visitors. Aside from the larger lakes, there is also an old-fashioned swimming hole complete with a high-dive that is open during the summer season. Take your family out and use one of the 4 picnic shelters available to rent for group gatherings, for a day of fun, music, and recreation. And for those wanting an event to check out, the Music on the Mountain bluegrass jam takes place each month at the Table Rock Lodge–perfect for anyone wanting to escape the outdoors for a minute.

    Weaverville, North Carolina

    Welcome to Campfire Lodgings, a gem nestled near Asheville, NC. This spot is a favorite for its breathtaking overlook areas, where you can gaze at the mountains and the French Broad River for hours. The campground offers a mix of accommodations, including RV sites, tent sites, yurts, cabins, and even glamping options.

    The premium RV sites are paved and offer stunning long-range views, though they can get quite sunny in the afternoon. If you prefer some shade, the gravel deluxe sites are a great choice and just a short walk from the community overlook area, which is equipped with seating. The yurts are tucked away in the woods, providing excellent privacy. Tent sites are available, though some visitors have noted they are a bit further from the bathhouse.

    Speaking of amenities, Campfire Lodgings has you covered with electric and water hookups, showers, toilets, and even a sanitary dump. Pets are welcome, and there are no breed restrictions, which is a big plus for those traveling with larger dogs. The campground also has a market for any essentials you might need.

    The location is fantastic—just a 15-minute drive will get you into downtown Asheville or Montfort, and Weaverville is also nearby. For a great cup of coffee or a beer, head over to High Five Riverside Dr. If you have dogs, Wag Bar offers a nice off-leash area for them to play.

    One thing to note: the road up to the campground is steep, curvy, and narrow, so plan your arrival after 2 PM to avoid meeting another RV on the way up. This place is perfect for those seeking peace, quiet, and a natural feel. Enjoy your stay!
