Black Mountain Campground

You can't go wrong camping here. It is a great campground. I gave low rating bc i did experience frustration. As I set up my tent *I was alone and looked forward to some piece. A family pulled in next to me. Across from host site. I was concerned when they had 4 cars 4 tents 3 dogs and 8 people. I politely informed host I was concerned and the host spoke to them. My understanding was ea site was only supposed to have 2 tents 2 cars , dog must be on leash. Well dogs remained on leash but they barked all night. The family went into their 4 cars until at least midnight ea time double clicking their key fobs so that the vehicle would honk. They had a good time laughing which I actually am glad they had a good time. I was unable to sleep ,next morn I spoke to host about this. The host stated they did not hear any of it. I had the option to relocate but I felt that the party which exceeded the maximum allowances should be the ones to relocate not me. I ended up leaving after one day instead of staying 3. I did not want to chance listening to the kennel another night. I love dogs but sometimes dog owners use bad judgement and don't realize nit everyone loves their dogs. So yes i was a little frustrated. I do plan to return the camp ground is awesome the trails topnotch

The staff was friendly and great! A couple things that would have made the experience better for my family is a wash station for cleaning dishes, quite hours posted...maybe 10pm to 6am and have cars use their parking lights to navigate through the property at night. The bright light shinning in our tent as cars passed made it hard to sleep. Over all it was in a good location and there was lots to do. I appreciate the staff as they have a lot to do and people to contend with including lots of hikers coming through.

Relatively modern, clean facilities with well spaced campsites. Beautiful location with easy access to some excellent hiking.

No cell service at the campground and very spotty reception along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Make sure you follow the directions given by the campground - my GPS took me to their closed off entrance and I had to drive another 40 minutes around to the actual entrance. Nice facilities and many campsites were higher than the parking area, having stairs to get up to the pad. Level gravel pad for tent set up, nice fire ring and cooking grate, a pole to hang a lantern or trash bag on. The camp host had firewood and kindling for sale! Had very friendly camp neighbors. Would definitely camp here again!

Black Mountain Campground is an ideal spot for camping!

Well maintained, friendly hosts

The camp is extremely well maintained by active and hardworking hosts. The sites were raked and level. The hosts were doing brush cleaning up and giving small piles of kindling to the sites. It was a clean lovely experience in a gorgeous location.

Staff very friendly & helpful. Restrooms and showers clean & well lit. Campground appeared clean & well maintained.

Great hosts, working tirelessly to keep the campground looking spiffy.

The three best things about this campground are: 1) camp hosts, 2) location, 3) cleanliness. The camp hosts are super friendly and happy to provide great information on hiking trails, things to do, or just provide balls and frisbees for the kids to play with. They also have various and sundry items, including ice cream, for sale at the office. The location is outstanding - a gorgeous campground right next to the South Toe River where you can fish, do short hikes to waterfalls, or big hikes to Mt. Mitchell. The facilities are extraordinarily clean and the water is warm for showers.

We visited in our travel trailer and stayed at the site w/electricity. Note that there are no water or sewer hookups, but there is a dump station about a mile back up the road. You can get water in the campground for your fresh water tank if you want, but we just dry camped. Of course, not an issue if you're tent camping.
