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!!

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.

This was our first time camping at Black Mountain Campground, and we loved it! The camp hosts were so friendly, the bathrooms and showers were clean, and we enjoyed the trails and the creek. This was a great place for our family.

The campground was small enough that I felt very safe with my son. The restrooms/showers were clean, as were the grounds. The staff was friendly and so kind to the young children. I will definitely return.
