White Pine South Group Camp sits within Pisgah National Forest, requiring a walk-in approach since no RVs are permitted. The US Forest Service manages this $60-per-night group site year-round, with reservations available for advance planning.
Amanda W. notes the campground connects to riding stables and offers several tent spaces accessible by vehicle, though some sites require short hikes for added privacy. A creek runs within walking distance, providing water access but lacking swimming depth. The area features hiking and mountain biking trails heading up the mountain, with a seasonal gate restricting winter access to upper campsites. Campers can find places to camp near Brevard for additional options in the region. Basic amenities include picnic tables and campfire permission, with a community water source available via a small waterfall requiring a climb down the mountainside bank.
