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.

We had a reservation for a site, we had a tent, the site was an RV site, they were very helpful in helping us change sites. There are a big number of FF sites and we saw people get those as late as 6pm on a Friday night, so don’t worry if you’re thinking of coming. I would bring my own firewood next time, the store charges $10/avg size bundles. There is a restaurant and two stores with food and camping accessories within a few minute walk of the campground.

Park is uniquely situated on blue ridge parkway, a beautiful drive. It has good and bad. First the good. It is situated between two great hiking trails; one to mt. Pisgah and the other to Frying Pan Tower. Campground was immaculate, they keep it very clean and everything is trimmed nicely. Elevation means temperatures are nice and cool. Dump site was easy to access and had all proper fittings. Staff is also very friendly and helpful. Just down the parkway are some other great places like skinny dip falls. You cannot hike to these so you’d need to drive. Now the bad. Bring leveling blocks because most sights are way sloped. We were in site A10, and while surprisingly level it was more a rest stop then a pull through. The table wasn’t next to site, and everyone walked through to hit the showers. It was perfect for long weekend. I would go again

Tent campsites are nice but RV sites are too small Some you cant even put an awning out or have room for your vehicle I was very disappointed

Wonderfully cool nights due to 4900' elevation. Be sure to go across the street to the Pisgah Inn for the overlook plus the fun rocking Adirondack chairs!

Beautiful area, clean park, sites are small, easy access to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Beautiful night skies, far enough away from Asheville that the lights didn't interfere with star gazing.
