Large secluded sites. We stayed in December, so the park was nearly deserted. It didn't keep the daily hikers and bikers away, though. Miles and miles of trails.

This is a nice location to enjoy the Pisgah National Forest and the Biltmore Estate. There is plenty of hiking accessible from the campground and since we came around Christmas, we also went to see the light display at the nearby arboretum.
