About Mount Pisgah Campground

One of the most popular of the Parkway's campgrounds, Mount Pisgah Campground is perched in the rolling mountains of western North Carolina on the southernmost end of the famous Blue Ridge Parkway. Surrounded by dense hardwood forests at an elevation of 4,980 ft, it offers shady, cool respite from the summer heat. Whichever end of the day appeals, spectacular sunrise and sunset panoramic views can be enjoyed from nearby overlooks. Several popular hiking trails, ranging from moderate to strenuous, are accessible from the campground. Drenched in history, this area was once part of the holdings of George Vanderbilt and the site of his hunting camp house, Buck Springs (no longer standing), is close by.

Wonderful hiking available without having to drive anywhere. Evening walkabouts in the campground were enjoyable. Pleasant campers.

This is a great campground. I always stay in the B loop, so I can't speak to the other loops. The campsites are reasonably private, the fire ring and picnic table area is very well screened with dense vegetation. The bathhouse is clean, and the entire campground is well maintained. I had 2 bars of Verizon service at my site.

It was great to be at that elevation during the heat of the summer. Graveyard fields with its waterfalls was a great day trip. Caught some wild trout there also.

This campground reminds of the old campgrounds when I was growing up minus the drop toilets. The bathroom was adequate. My camp site was pretty narrow and there is no flat place to set up like a patio. It was shady and area was quiet. I was only there one night. Boondocking is not my favorite so probably won't be back. I did have a basic Verizon signal but it wasn't strong enough to watch any TV. Very little in my rig works without shore power or the generator and since I have to turn the generator off after 9, I couldn't use my CPAP, air conditioning or pretty much anything other than lights. If you took out the curbing that makes the sites so narrow, it would be easier to set up a patio, at least at my site. Being right on the Blue Ridge Parkway is definitely a plus as is the restaurant at the Mt Pisgah Inn.

Campsite B27. Wonderful weekend at Mt Pisgah Campground. Lovely hike to Frying Pan Fire Tower. Campsite is sloped a bit from left to right. Fresh water is available next to the site. Bath houses are clean. Highly recommend!

Mt. Pisgah is my favorite campground. Though the tent sites on the lower end of loop C are crowded together I enjoyed the stay. One camp near us played sleep sounds late into the night. Bothered my buddy but thanks to my reduced hearing, didn't bother me. We camped on Black Balsam the second night and looked down on surrounding thunderstorms. What a beautiful site.

We enjoyed this campground. It was a one night stop for us. It's nice that it is right off parkway.
