Weekend on Balsam Mountain

Camped for a weekend at the Balsam Mountain Campground, and absolutely loved it. The site is kept spectacularly clean, as are the amenities such as the bathrooms, the dishwashing station, and the various water fountains. There are over forty sites that have a gravel-like area for tents, a very convenient picnic table, and a great fire pit with a grill cover. The camp sites are also large enough to have room to spread out and feel like you have some semblance of privacy. All in all, this is a great place to camp. The signs up into the Blue Ridge Parkway and the site are very clear and the look out points along the way are definitely worth the stop. Also, there are a multitude of great trails very near to the campsites that are a blast to explore during the day.
