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 4980 feet, 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.

Great place to get away from the heat. Been camping here since the 90’s. Very little change over the years.

RV sites aren’t all flat and the slope of ours for a class B can was beyond the ability to level up. The campground is nice and the location is great. I’ll go back

Great campground. Most sites were thoughtfully laid out to maximize privacy. The bear boxes were great to have (although, we discovered the mouse-size holes the hard way LOL). The staff was professional and friendly. Great stay ... we'll be back!

Lovely campground with all the amenities you need for a relaxing getaway in the mountains. Unfortunately, our neighbors at D31 were quite rude, broke the rules and invited 12+ people to their campsite, so we didn’t get a moment of quiet during our stay. Only wish it was easier to get in contact with rangers at the site to report violations. Couldn’t find anyone by the time we were fed up in the afternoon.

Mount Pisgah is a very pretty, clean and well run camp ground. We slept in the the tent only area,which is very quiet. The park rangers at the entrance are very helpful.

Pisgah campground is a delight. The sites are private and tidy. The campground gives you the unique opportunity to spend your time in the high altitude spruce forest. Having a shower in the campground is very helpful. The shower was clean and never crowded.

This is quite possibly my favorite campground in western NC. The tent sites are clean and in order and the staff has always been helpful and informative. Because of the elevation, it is always a welcome escape from the low country of SC in the summer.

One of my favorite campgrounds because of the elevation and the location. Oh yeah and it's near highway 276 to access brevard and waynsville, on the motorcycle.
Although I got no cell service at all, I did pick up about fifteen television stations on my digital antenna...

Staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. Mr Pisgah is gorgeous. The price is very affordable. Campground was at capacity. Don’t blame others for enjoying one of the last weekends of summer. Would love to come back for a couple weekdays when it’s less crowded. Even then, all the other campers were very friendly. Google review, 5 stars. My experience compared to other camping experiences, very good.
