SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Sky High Ridge RV Campground sits at $39 per night in Scaly Mountain, North Carolina, with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer. No bathhouse exists on site, so only rigs with onboard toilets are permitted. Road access is tight: anything over 30 feet may struggle, and Google Maps directions are known to route vehicles into trouble, making it essential to follow host-provided directions instead.

Sites are spread out, and the host, Peter, has detailed local knowledge covering nearby waterfalls, hiking, and the surrounding area, which makes places to camp near Scaly Mountain worth exploring if you're planning a longer stay in the region. Dogs are welcome and the campground has a history of allowing well-behaved pets off-leash. Reservations are available. Bring a rig that fits the road, and you'll have a workable base for the western North Carolina highlands.

Secluded in the NC mountains

First thing - this is a RV CAMPGROUND and it will not be for everyone. There is no bath house so only vehicles with a toilet are allowed (yes, you will have to poop in your trailer). The roads are also very tight so anything bigger than a 30' may be tough (you actually cannot follow Google/Waze maps or you will get stuck, follow the host directions).

So with that out of the way, this is by far our favorite spot in our RV adventures so far. While the campground is up near a mountain development, you wouldn't know it when you are in the campground. The sites are nice and spread out, yet we ended up meeting most of the campers, and they were all great (we even exchanged contact info for future camping adventures with another family). There is a garden on site you can meander around, grab an apple to snack on, and hang out with the butterflies. It is very dog-friendly; we were explicitly told we should keep our well-behaved dog off leash. You are practically between Canton GA, Highlands, NC and Franklin, NC so there is no lack of things to do - NC's biggest zip line is just down the road (we did not partake) but we did lots of hiking (waterfalls everywhere), star gazing (milky way was visible even during a full moon), and sitting around the campfire (cool mountain nights).

Finally, cannot review this site without mentioning the amazing and interesting host Peter who is very friendly and has a ton of insight on what to do in the area. He can give you directions on the best waterfalls, shops, etc. Plus he was kind enough to show our kids the garden while we got setup.
