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.

Some of my favorite hikes start from the Mt Pisgah campground. I like the fact that the campground has no electricity. Water is easily accessible. Tent campsites are very attractive, although a few are bunched up together. Trailer sites are a bit short, but that weeds out the coaches and fifth wheels. This campground is definitely not for everyone, but I find it very enjoyable and rewarding.

The rangers (Terra and Greg) there are fantastic as are the campground hosts (Riley and Sue). Outstanding week there once again. We do miss Ranger Jim though but a guy has to retire eventually, right?
If you have a dog make sure you get them in the Bark Ranger program with Terra.

It was ok. Disappointed that not all restroom locations did not have showers. So there was waiting time.

All was great. The cg is on the side of the mountain and hard to find a level site which I am used to in western NC. Just bring plenty of leveling blocks. The staff was very helpful compared to other Blue Ridge Parkway cgs.

Loves this campground. The sites look like they were landscaped by 🧚‍♂️ 🧚‍♀️ fairies and had flowers intertwined into the foliage. Beautiful. My site was at a bridge and it would have been amazing, but they need to plant some privacy trees so you don't see all of the people walking by. I car camp, so it was really awkward because people kept walking my my SUV. Showers need updating, but location was prime.

Mt. Pisgah Campground is one of our favorites for a quick getaway. Yes, the sites are often tight, close and somewhat unlevel but on the 4th of July weekend it was wonderfully absent of fireworks, it was easily 10 degrees cooler than sweltering Asheville and the rangers are all great. Plus they've added wifi at the check-in which is a bonus because cell service is spotty at best. Loop A seems to be for bigger rigs although really big ones would be better off elsewhere. Loop B is labeled as vans and pop-ups but there were plenty of towables and the sites seemed to be similarly sized to Loop A (and generally more level). The other loops are for tents and generators are not allowed in those. The Pisgah Inn is located near the campground entrance and is worth a visit or a meal. And there's plenty of hiking nearby including several trails right from the campground.
