Many of the sites are completely surrounded by Shrubbery and trees to give you a feeling of privacy. It is great on top of the mountain with nice cool air! Beautiful natural Landscaping abounds

We loved this campground! Lots of trails in the campground leading out to longer hikes, a nice camp store and inn/restaurant. Tent sites can be on the small side, but very nice, and there is a bear box to store food in. I highly recommend this place, especially if you have a few days to explore.

The camp grounds are perfect! Right on blue ridge highway, not far from Ashville. They have a dedicated loop for RVs/campers and a dedicated loop for tent-only. They have multiple bathroom houses on site, one of which has a shower with hot water. From my experience, bathrooms are cleaned every morning. It costs 20/night to stay, and 10/night if you're a senior. I highly recommend this spot! Been h... The camp grounds are perfect! Right on blue ridge highway, not far from Ashville.
