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.

I stayed in A Loop and the sites were too close together exposed to the road..no privacy..A-22..also hate the loss of the camp laundry area in the camp store. And the Dining room has become disrespectful of campers. No dinner reservations...no take out meals..only ready made sandwiches. I realize campers do fix their own food but my picnic table was a foot from the road with no trees.

Great site, beautifully maintained grounds, and wonderful ranger presence. The bathrooms and showers were nice and a great place to warm up in cold temperatures. Sites are closer together than I though but placed well to offer as much privacy as possible. We will most definitely be back!

The camp site I originally picked out was not as imagined. The table and fire pit were up a steep hill away from the place to park the camper and the lot was unlevel. I traded to another spot that had a spring or water leak running through it so it was a mudhole for the whole time we camped 2 days with our dog going in and out. There were some other camp sites that were closed that looked better than the one we used. Camp host not the most pleasant either. Upon first pulling in I pulled past the office to park as traffic was backing up behind me and she came out waving her arms to come back. After going out and coming back in another time and parking in line they asked that I move forward so traffic wouldn't back up on the parkway (I wished they would have made up their mind). Other than that the parkway was great!

A beautiful area. The staff were very helpful. We took a 29’ fifth wheel. Our site booked was a pull through along the road. It was such a tight squeeze, we could not put our one slide out or unhook because we could not hook back easily. The site was A28. We were going to leave after two nights but the neighbors at the next site were switching so we switched to A30. We could put our slide out and unhook easily to sight see so we stayed an extra night. We will go again, just pay closer attention to the site descriptions.

We stayed at the Mount Pisgah campground in October and enjoyed our stay very much. We had a very secluded campsite which was also very beautiful and spent two days hiking and enjoying the remarkable views. I recommend using the All Trails app on your phone so you won't get lost hiking like we did.

Stayed 2 nights in Site A-13 with 26' travel trailer. Site was VERY tight as far as setting up the camper and parking to the side of camper. Could not tell from the reservation pic site was so out of level from side to side and front to back. Blocked road when unhooking and hooking up camper. Had 3 nights reserved but left day early due to rain coming and to get out of campsite I would have to go into grass across road and up steep hill on a curve in 4 wheel drive so left before rain arrived to play it safe. Curiously there were much more level sites and spacious in loop C which does not allow RV camping. Just too tight a campground for our size tag along. Campground was kept up well and of course love the ambience. Also the dump station is in a tight loop with a steep exiting loop that caused me to just leave without attempting to negotiate that area. Trailer would have drug rear bumper and sewer connection trying to get out I'm afraid. Left tanks full till next camping trip out following week.
