Location was great for hiking Mt. Mitchell! Large campsites with good distance in between.

Great setting at the base of Mount Mitchell. Quiet, despite the fairly close proximity to other sites/campers. An enjoyable experience and definitely recommend as a nice getaway.

This campground is great whether you are a family, a couple, or a group looking for a hiking base camp. The bathrooms are well maintained and clean. Open areas available for playing, frizbee, etc. Sites are flat and roomy, and generally they are not too close together. The location is gorgeous. We had a great experience camping here, and we plan to visit again.

It’s a popular place but the facilities are clean, there are good day hiking options(though popular) and it’s a beautiful spot. All in all a great place for car camping in the high country.

It’s absolutely beautiful. The grounds are very well kept. The tent sites are stunning, with 10 different trail heads within walking distance. I never had to leave camp. Will definitely be returning!

We loved it! Very convenient set up, with picnic table, fire ring with grill. Bear sightings in camp the day before had all of us a bit on edge. We were fairly fastidious in cleaning the camp site of any food or odors, though, so no problems.
Concierge crew were just great. Very helpful and kind.
