Private

We were not sure about taking such a detour from our path to Asheville, but are so 
glad we did! We booked a spot “in the meadow” but when we arrived, they had rooms in the lodge for just $20 more. Great old building + comfy beds + no wet tent to pack up = sold! Our room was next to the bathroom, so we wore earplugs. Slept great. It was Saturday night with a bluegrass band, friendly families with kids, good food and drinks; totally our jam. This place is beautiful and worth visiting.


LOVE this place!

We stayed at Wilderness Adventure for one night in “The Meadow”. We stayed a Saturday night and got to enjoy live music, and tasty beers! The staff was incredibly hospitable, and the grounds were so fun to explore. If you’re up for a fun hike, take the Outerspace trail up to “The Bluff” and enjoy the mountain views.

Such a cool little slice of camping fun. Came out for a Saturday night, set up camp, enjoyed some good beer and  saw some live music!  

Decided to stay another night. Super cool place.
