Black Mountain Campground

Very friendly,clean and good hiking close by

Wonderful camp! Great access to Mt Mitchell. Camp hosts were an absolute pleasure to meet and speak to. Very knowledgeable about the area and super friendly.

Main host Bob wasn't unfriendly but he wouldn't address issues. The host on the river trail, Patricia was the female there and I didn't know here husbands name. But, these were some very rude people. They half cleaned the bathrooms and put out toiliet paper. The man would go around in the woods looking in people's campsites. Caught tipping on his toes as he walked by campers also, as to be looking in. The women were uncomfortable around him. Been going there 34 years, and wife's family, around 40 years or so. Never meet host this rude and for that goes at any camoground, anywhere. I ran a generator first night, wife and daughter said I had to due to health condition. But, was told we couldn't do it and for the rest of stay we only ran it in the respectful times. After that, the next 7 to 8bdays we were trrated like a disease. I was told by another camper we had meet that Patricia and her husband in the river trail were telling other campers bad things about us. Treating our family like trash. There were 6 camping spots we took up for a week. When my wife and grandson and I left, Patricia was at the road clapping and yelling, yea as we were leaving. I then had to tell her how rude they had been. When I'm there this year and those host are there and they are caught peeping. I will call the ranger and the sheriff's dept. No arguing with them. I have reported this several times and no reply yet. These folks must had retired from a prison or something. Maybe boot camp. But I will not put up with someone peeping in my campsite or camper. And who let's them work there are just as guilty. Like Bob , the main host. Didn't do anything but let it go on. Had to get toiliet paper from their box on the golf cart one time and Patricia's husband like to have fought over it. Very rude people.

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.

Very clean and the staff was super friendly and helpful. Great place to stay if you are going to hike Mt. Mitchell, the trail literally starts in the campground. Great fire rings, felt very safe.

For a campground that is off the beaten path, it was very enjoyable. The attendants were very helpful. The showers were clean and worked great. Being a federal campground it typically does not have site electricity, but for us seniors with the Senior Pass, it is very inexpensive. We were able to camp right on the river and enjoyed it very much.

The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. They offer firewood and kindling for sale at reasonable prices. The campsite was clean and well groomed. Bathroom facilities were impeccable. Campsites were spaced far enough apart that even though there was still a bit of privacy.
