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.

First time I have been camping in about 40 years and it was great. Sleeping in a tent was a new experience for an old guy but overall I enjoyed the time and the campground. It's well maintained and in a beautiful location along the South Toe River. Facilities were great and I really appreciated the (unexpected) hot showers. I am planning to do this again soon

Three adult females and three teenage girls camped here, working on Girl Scout badges. We had a great time. I highly recommend this campground. The staff was outstanding, the bathrooms and showers were great. We felt safe and truly enjoyed our time. The location for us to complete our hike up Mt Mitchell was perfect! I will definitely be coming back to this campground with my family. Highly recommended!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at Black Mountain. The management team members were very attentive and great to work with and kept everything clean. The campground was a pristine quiet space with access to great hiking.

Great hosts, clean restrooms and well kept grounds and campsites.
Waterfalls and trails to explore. Lock up your food in the car at night as you are in a bear sanctuary.

Perfect campground to hike to Mount Mitchell. The trail head starts in the campground and is well marked all the way to the top. The showers were warm. The campsites are well spaced.
