Upper Falls Campsite

**River Run Equestrian** is a small horse farm at the foot of the Pisgah National Forest and \*less than \*4 miles from DuPont State Recreational Forest.

The farm is in a small neighborhood, so *appropriate for families, couples, and small groups* to use as a base camp for their adventures. We are only a few miles Oskar Blues, The Hub, and Ecusta Brewing! Additionally, Brevard has many restaurants and a bit of night life, with bands playing at 185 King St. regularly. Sunsets in the Fall and Spring are amazing on the farm, but we normally recommend you spend afternoons in the shade of the woods or river.

There are two Farm Hands/Backpacking Guides who live on site in their own tiny homes, and my small home is on site. Campers have an unobstructed view of Looking Glass Rock, Mt. Pisgah, and you can see up to The Devil's Courthouse.
