This is our second time at Mt. Pisgah. As like the first time, the campground was clean including the sites, campground roads and bathrooms. We stayed at C01. The site is very pretty and you have a decent amount of privacy compared to some of the other sites. I would warn campers that this site is close to the road so you will hear every passing car at night. Not a big deal for me since I'm a heavy sleeper but if you aren't then I would recommend a different site.

We had a reservation but asked if we could change locations and they allowed us to do so for any available spots that our camper would fit.

Tropical storm Ida made things interesting on loop C of the campground. In the afternoon before the storm a Ranger, Amanda, made several trips around the campground informing us of things like US276 being closed in both directions, and that the parkway was closed Southbound to Cherokee. She wanted to let us know about the minimal escape routes. Evidently, there were only three occupied sites that night. I slept on and off listening to the rain and the wind blowing our rainfly around. We woke up to a broken 10x10 canopy that had collected enough of the heavy rain to overload one side and collapsed on the picnic table. I'm glad it wasn't heavy snow!
It rained on and off the next day so we just walked around the campground trails and other loops. We needed ice at the camp store which closed early the day before because of the storm, and we spent some time on the rockers in front of the store using what little AT&T cell coverage was available in the area.
The following day was clear and dry, so we went to the Devil's Courthouse parking area and walked over the tunnel to the Little Sam Knob Trail. It's an area that we have visited many times in past years. That night the campground was full (Labor Day weekend).
We availed ourselves of hot showers in the campground comfort station. The only issue with the men's side was on that last day when the heater in the men's room decided to stay on and heat the room to sauna temperature for more than 24 hours. The campground personnel kept the comfort station clean.
We really enjoyed the campground and the area surrounding it with its many trails and places to visit. We had reservations in June, but ended up in the Balsam Mountain campground down the road because Mt. Pisgah was closed to all but hard-sided campers because of bear activity.

This is a small, antiquated campground. Many of the sites are tight and better suited for pop ups and vans. It appears to be disorganized since there were a number of small pop ups in RV sites. The restaurant at Pisgah Inn across the street did not allow dining for campground residents. Absolutely no cell service at the campground, although there was a good cell signal and wifi across the street 100 yds further down at the Inn. Would not stay here again.

Because of bears in the area I was cited for leaving a can of Pam spray on my table. A warning would have been better
