Mount Mitchell Campground is located on Mount Mitchell. You need to hike into each campsite, passing the previous campsite on your way. You camp on a fairly level slab as you get higher on the mountain so as you pass people, your campsite is above them. It feels very remote and would be challenging for older people and people who have difficulty walking. Flushable toilets are available at this campground.

We love the quiet and the stars of Mount Mitchell. We have hiked up Mount Mitchell to the highest point - but beware of Weevil mating season! One of our trips ended badly (late July) due to our poor timing lining up with Weevil mating season. Small black bugs were everywhere, covering every inch of ground and our clothing during our hike.
