Pisgah National Forests
This was by far one of the coolest weekends I spent in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Pisgah National Forest on the outskirts of Asheville, NC is a must stop for all ages. I say that specifically for not just the camping, but what can keep you entertained during your afternoons as well. We stayed at the Davidson River Campground which was right near the entrance of the forest if you're coming in from the south, as I did in South Carolina. There's over 150 campsites here, and we lucked out by finding one on short notice. The location of the campground is neat given its location by the river, but it's even cooler given is location near Sliding Rock and Looking Glass Falls. Within a few minute drive, or bit of a hike you can ride a natural waterslide or sit in the pool beneath looking glass falls. Even in Mid-July the water will keep you chilled. One of my favorite places to visit in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
