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

The campground was well-kept and the restrooms were clean enough. I did think it was weird that they were called "comfort stations" instead of restrooms--that signage confused me at first about where the restrooms were, and the restrooms were very normal--no extra comfort haha! The campsite was good, standard amenities. I liked that we had the area mostly to ourselves (it was a Sunday-Tuesday trip), and we never heard other campers. Part of that was because it was also extremely windy our first night. Like raging winds, could barely sleep windy. Because of that, I probably wouldn't come back to this campground--definitely not in late fall because it was also freezing--but that's not the campground's fault, just an aspect of the location. Unfortunately, we miscalculated and the leafs were just past peak when we were there, but I'm sure it would have been very pretty if we had hit the peak color timing.

We had a great time! The campsite was clean and well-maintained, the campground staff at the entrance and camp store were all friendly, no complaints! The views going up and down the mountain were stunning.

We’ve camped here many times and it’s one of our favorite campgrounds. The sites are well-spaced and have picnic tables and fire rings. It’s quiet and cooler. There are some nice walks right from the campground and there is a shop and restaurant across the road.

A very nice, clean, well managed campground with friendly campground hosts, and staff. This was our first time camping here. We really loved the privacy afforded by many of the campsites being nicely tucked into surrounding vegetation. Plenty of space in the campsite, yet a great feeling of private isolation. Also a pleasure to have hot water and showers available in some of the restroom buildings. Will definitely visit Mt. Pisgah Campground again.

Mt. Pisgah is our family’s favorite campground. The campsite is so beautiful and the bathrooms are clean. We wrapped up our camping by driving around to pick sites for our next camping night. Wonderful, helpful staff.
