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.

Number of accommodations: 71

Quiet and family-friendly campground. The camp store, gift shop, and snack shop are all within walking distance. You have access to multiple hiking trails from the campsite. Easy to reserve a site through recreation.gov, but do it well in advance of the date you plan to camp. Camp in October. You will enjoy seeing the peak leaf season and sitting around a campfire on a cold night.

Great "home base" for exploring this section of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Great hiking all around the campground and plenty to do down in Brevard if you come off the parkway.

Strongly advise you avoid this campground with any medium to large rig unless you have firsthand knowledge of your chosen site. We have been to multiple National Forest campgrounds, and while many are older and not necessarily designed with today's modern RVs in mind, we have always been to make it work. Until Mount Pisgah. We travel in a 30ft travel trailer and booked Site A31 - described as 33 feet long. I always look at the site photos and this one looked relatively level. However, upon arrival we discovered that while the site was indeed long enough, it was anything but level. We would have had to raise one side of the RV 9 inches to achieve level! We are always prepared with blocks and ramps, but not for that kind of angle. The very helpful Ranger suggested other open sites, but they were even worse. In the end we left, forfeiting our fees. This campground is more suitable for tent campers and small trailers. Otherwise, I would look elsewhere.

We camped three nights in the B-loop with a van camper. The comfort station with the hot showers were clean and useful. One day we walked around the area, the campground, the Pisgah Inn, and got ice cream at the camp store. The second we hiked 5 miles around a loop from the campground to the Buck Springs Lodge site, down the Laurel Mountain trail, across the connector, and up the Pilot Rock trail, back to the Inn and the campground. We don't get to see God's awesome creation in this area very often and are never disappointed.

We have a GO camper. All the spaces were concrete with a slight slope which makes it easy. We were in site B26. The Pisgah Inn is right across the road and cell service is best there and better just up the parkway at the picnic area. The parkway has lots of overlooks.

This is a well used campground. It's always filled with campers, but is well kept and is clean and organized. The toilet houses are a bit scraggy, but the bathhouse is much more modern and well taken care of. The location it's phenomenal.

We arrived on a Monday, so fortunately, the weekend crowd had left. Being a national campground, there was no power or water at the site, but that was known coming in. There were hot showers in the bathhouse which were greatly appreciated. Overall, the area, weather, and park were excellent. I'd certainly go again.
