Black Mountain Campground

Our new favorite campground right in our “back yard.” The city address is the same as ours but this place was nearly 45 minutes away from our house.

We had a fantastic experience. This is a small, quiet, clean, full of actual nature campground. The staff was pleasant and helpful. The camp sites are well spaced. The bathrooms were cleaned daily.

There is plenty of hiking and exploring options.

Then at night all we heard was the water rushing down the river, the crackling camp fire and the insects trilling in the background. It was lovely!

Our campsite seemed very large and there was plenty of privacy. We look forward to coming back!

Our first time to this campground. First - be prepared for no electricity in the camp sites. We were aware and prepared so not an issue. Second, be prepared for large, wooded campsites, great hosts, quiet, friendly neighbors and best restrooms/showers we have seen in federal/state campgrounds in years! A real gem in the shadow of Mount Mitchell and only minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway. WE WILL GO BACK!

Great campground!

Isolated, quiet campground at the base of Mt Mitchell. Staff was friendly, helpful, and accessible. They worked to keep the facility clean. Saw them visiting with supples and cleaning tools multiple times a day. Very few electric sites, but otherwise thought the sites were pretty nice. Many sites suitable for larger RVs and trailers.

Excellent site. The camp hosts were very friendly. Wood was decently priced. Bathrooms were clean. Not far from the river and several trailheads. I would definitely come back again!

This is a difficult one to rate for this trip. We were there during TS Fred when the river flooded. During this event the staff and fellow campers worked together to make sure all were safe and as comfortable as possible, There was damage to the approach to the bridge which was fixed pretty quick, The sites along the river were damaged and needed some work also. Once the repairs to the bridge were complete they closed the campground. I somewhat understand the closing but wish they had kept the upper loop open. I know we/they can't control the weather but shutting down really was a bummer.

We had a great time in this campground.

Black Mountain Campground is a lovely place right on the South Toe River. The hosts went out of their way to accommodate us. The facilities were clean and welcome after a week of no showers!

This was possible the most well kept campground we've stayed at in our 4 years of camping. The grounds were so clean and absolutely beautiful. The facilities were very nice and immaculate. Staff was kind and helpful as well. Add in the fact that there are hiking trails that you can walk to from your campsite, and it's the perfect camping spot. We also hopped onto the Parkway for site seeing, visited Mt Mitchell, and saw some waterfalls in the the area. HIGHLY recommend this peaceful gem and all of it's well kept beauty. This was our first time camping without hookups, and it was a breeze. We will be back for sure!
