Rocky Fork State Park Campground

1 ReviewAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Rocky Fork State Park operates this hike-in campground within a newer state park that opened in 2015 and remains under development. Campers must walk to reach their sites, as vehicle access stops at the parking area where a maintained portable toilet serves visitors. The park connects directly to Cherokee National Forest through established trails, expanding hiking options beyond the park boundaries.

Weekly trout stocking occurs in nearby streams during summer months, supporting fishing opportunities along the Fork River Trail. This trail features coarse gravel for the initial stretch before transitioning to dirt surface. For campers seeking vehicle-accessible sites, Bald Mountains provides a different camping experience northwest of the park.

Backpacking only, gorgeous scenery, primitive

There are trails of wide variety in length and difficulty from nearly flat to very difficult. This state park opened in 2015 and is still under construction. Currently there are connecting trails into Cherokee National Forest as well as excellent trout fishing in streams that are stocked weekly during summer.

There is an interpretive area where guides offer presentations in the summer. Portable toilet is maintained at the parking lot.

The Fork River Trail offers one of the the most picturesque locations in the Blue Ridge and is accessible (with assistance) for some jogging strollers and some wheelchairs. The trail is composed of very coarse gravel for the first .1-.3 miles before turning to dirt.

The website is helpful.
