Great restroom and shower facility.
My negative is that the campsite was not private, as expected. I had a parallel parking campsite (versus a pull in driveway). This made the site just feel completely exposed as people constantly walked or drove immediately past my campsite. (My car was along the main thoroughfare) Next time, I will call and make sure I am booking a drive in campsite (the map does not show driveways, not do the descriptions explain which is which).

The hike up to Mount Mitchell is long and hard! It took us an entire day but it was so enjoyable. It was the reason we came to the camp, and definitely worth it.

Reasonably quiet, well run campground with a variety of sites available. We weren't able to get a motor home site by reservation on short notice, but did tent camp anyway. Beautiful setting, ideal spot for hikers, both easy and difficult trails readily available. Due to COVID usual activities were not going on. Bathhouses were adequate but several of the toilet rooms were out of service. Camp hosts were helpful and readily available.

This vacation was my family's all time favorite! The campground is well kept and the restrooms are clean and have hot water. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Black mountain campground is a special place , we'd like to make it an annual family tradition.
