Hands-down, one of my favorite places to go camping it’s so clean so quiet. The park Rangers are phenomenal and very knowledgeable in everything they do and answer any questions you may have.
We went on a walk with some of the park Rangers and they taught us all about the beautiful trees surrounding the campground. Everybody was kind and friendly. Just a very beautiful place to go camping and I felt so safe, which is the most important part.

Great place to escape the summer heat, and get away to the mountains. The camp store was within easy walking distance and provided fire wood and ice. Lots of trails nearby with beautiful trees and scenery, and not long driving distance from a couple good swimming holes. It did rain a couple of days, but that’s to be expected at the higher elevation. Overall a great camping spot!

The campground is huge, but most campsites feel very private. Walk across the street in the morning to see the view from the Pisgah Inn. The campground will be literally in a cloud, and as the sun rises, the cloud flows across the road. sinks into the valley, and dissipates. Magical!

Our favorite campground for 40 years. The park staff are just lovely—very helpful, kind, and friendly but also very conscientious and watchful of the park. If you are in an RV you need to be prepared to be creative in leveling—many old sites are definitely charming but usually sloping.
Mt Pisgah wraps her rhododendron arms around you and you just hate to leave.

I have liked using the Mt Pisgah for my small trailer when prepared to boon-dock. In the past year have been there 5 times and enjoyed the location in a higher cooler elevation. The staff has always pleasant and helpful. The trailer sites are a bit small and some are close to other campers. All sites have a personal fire pit and table, some of which are nested into the woods but adjacent to your parked vehicles. There is only one restroom in the center of the campground loop and are acceptable for being clean. They only have flush toilets and sinks, no showers in this loop. However the drive thru loops designated for tent only sites do have a shower that are available. Most sites are well covered by the shade of trees and underbrush.
Additionally a drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway flows through the high elevations for wonderful vistas from the roadside stops. To the north is the city of Ashville with many available variety of shopping experiences. To the south is the city of Cherokee and the Smokey Mountains and National Park. The Indian Reservation there has exhibits and a Casino to enjoy.

Had a fantastic time in spite of torrential rains. Tent camping site was perfect for our needs. Some sites have bear boxes. Tent areas are beautifully treed-in, meaning you'll need to take a walk or drive or hike to see mountain views. Nearby country store has marshmallows, fire starters, wood, batteries, and other camping mainstays. Plenty of locking dumpsters to allay wildlife curiosity. Frying Pan Trail begins within the campground, but draws drivers to a lot down the road to start the ascent to its lookout tower. Recommend a drive to Looking Glass Falls, is roadside, has staircase. Recommend a drive to, then hike down Graveyard Fields Trail to lower falls and for wading on sunny or rainy day, partial staircases, lot has bathrooms. Recommend drive to, then hike up to The Devil's Courthouse on a perfectly sunny day, fog comes in quickly, multi-state and infinity mountain views from top, crosses The NC Mountain to Sea Trail. All trails labeled with disagreeing levels of skill on internet. None are outright rock climbs or rock scrambles, but be prepared for even the trails marked as "easy" to include intermittent, lengthy inclines of up to 55 degrees and for some inclined portions to be either gravelly or rocky. Campsites have fire pits and paved parking. Recommend stopping at every overlook on The Blue Ridge Parkway multiple times of day as the sun will change the views dramatically. Recommend Pisgah National Forest Ranger Station and Welcome Center for up-to-date closures and info. Must bring and plan to wash dishes in basin/s in forest away from campsites and dump "gray water" in deep woods. Dishwashing not allowed in bathrooms, showers, or at potable water spigots for very good reason. Otherwise, certain establishments in driving-distance towns have outdoor water spigots to use with permission. Friendly informative rangers. Wish I could just live there.
