Black Mountain Campground is praised for its clean facilities, with bathrooms and showers maintained daily. The friendly and helpful staff enhance the experience, and the campground offers great access to hiking, including Mt. Mitchell. Visitors are advised to be cautious of bear activity and to secure food properly, but overall, it is a lovely and enjoyable camping destination.

The hosts were great. And the campsite was great but the road in is poor. In fact I was towing my car behind the RV and the PCV valve on the car engine clogged up from all the dust.

Black Mountain Campground is a wonderful destination if you want to get away from the busy world. There is absolutely no internet connection. There are no grocery stores nearby so plan accordingly. Most of the campsites are large and pretty private. There is not a bad season to camp at Black Mountain Campground. Spring has flowers, newts and fireflys. Summer has long days, Toe River wading and cool nights. Autumn has color, dry days and cool clear nights. All seasons have hiking trails, fly fishing, lovely nights around a campfire and bears. It's a very good place. Don't mess with the bears. They look slow and not very bright but that is an illusion. They are big, strong, fast, extremely smart and always hungry.

The site had everything I needed and faced a large open field. Directions were clear, access to the trialhead was perfect, and all the costs were extremely fair. Couldn't be happier with this campground.

Clean, quiet, informative staff on site 24/7. Ice and firewood available. Classes with skilled people are offered and some trail guides will pull campers for specific hikes. Fly fishing was fun as was a hike to the rapids. Beware the bears. I had 1 visitation in 8 days on my vehicle. Keep all food in containers stored in the vehicle. Do not Crack the windows. If you have a hitch basket, place a cover over any equipment due to the potential for wildlife to chew on coolers, etc. Yeti will not keep them out of it, despite their claims. Respect nature because we are in its habitat. It is not evil. It is only instinct and survival.

Campground facilities were the cleanest I've ever seen! The bathrooms and showers were cleaned at least once every day, and were in excellent working order. Our campsite was clean and had everything we needed, and the camp hosts were friendly, informative, and helpful.
This is an excellent camping spot if you want to do the hike up to the top of Mt. Mitchell like we did.
One tip: be prepared to keep your camp site clean and store all food and scented items in your vehicle due to bear activity in the area. We were given extra warning about this upon check-in. We took it seriously and had no problems with bears though.
