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.

Last time we was here someone snaked our campsite. We talked to the occupants and got permission like campground ranger said to and came back to pay and a lady had payed while we was following the rules. She just drove thru and paid for the site without asking. Anyway, more money needs to be spent to keep this place tip top. If you’re going to continue to let people burn trash and generally act like morons then you should expect to not have a, what was once the best campground in North Carolina

Best experience ever! Reserve your campsite for the best sites. The firepit and picnic table are secluded at some campsites. The park rangers were extremely helpful and friendly. Definitely will be back soon!

The campground was a great location. Tent pads are a little small for a 6 person site forcing you to set up your tent on the asphalt/road. If you are a tent camper then get an inner loop site. Outter loops are terribly uneven for tents.

This campground is definitely set up more for RV(ers) vs tent campers. Loop A no showers (only restrooms), loop B,C,D only 1 shower per restroom. Long lines. Facilities we're clean, with heated restrooms.
