Black Mountain Campground

Great place!

I arrived late due to traffic and weather conditions. I finally found my spot and parked with help from a friendly camper near by and then I realized there was zero cell service. I live and work in my trailer full time and this is the first campground that I have run into that didn't have any cell service or wifi at all. This was a valuable lesson on my part as I learn to verify that before I make my reservation now. Half the park was closed due to flood damage but the half that was open seemed quiet and nice. Mostly tents and a few RV's. No hookups at all at most of the sites. Only the FF sites had electric.

The camp host, Joe, and his wife were amazing. I’ve never had cleaner facilities or more welcoming activities. They really took great care of the campground. Hwy 80 into the area is pretty tough and not recommended for trailers. There’s easy access to a lot of great hikes and the river is right next to the camp ground for fishing. There’s a slight micro climate that lends toward wetter weather than the lower elevations so it is best to be prepared for some precipitation. It is a heavy bear area so be prepared to store food in a locked car.

Site great. Good access to river and trails. Amenities good.

Nice location off the beaten path.

couldn't ask for better place or weather

Great spot on South Toe River for fishing and hiking. Great access to Mt Mitchell trail. Bring your bear spray- we saw quite a few.

The hosts were great, place was very well kept. Everyone was helpful and friendly. Very close to some great hiking trails.

Enjoyed staying there. However the signage to get there was horrible and the roads were so busted up we were only able to drive 10 mph. The hosts were pleasant and helpful and the bathhouse was very clean.

Wonderful campground, late October weather with fall colors at their most glorious. Nighttime skies ablaze with stars and the glow of the milky way across the zenith. Great hiking options, helpful friendly staff, amphitheater and large open commons area for playing and watching the sky at night. River sites are closed due to storm damage in Aug of 2021. Campground in serious need of updating with electricity on more sites. Campground sees heavy usage all season long so best to reserve a site before you come.
