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.

Beautiful campground. Showers, though only one shower for men and one for women on our loop. Can have a line for the one shower. Pisgah Campground is right across the street from the Inn and Restaurant, and camp store. Lots of excellent hiking within a half hour drive.

Another early June stay for the blur ghost fireflies. Our favorite campground on the BRP! Staff was great and weather was perfect.

My site, C19, was relatively private, even though the large central tree had died and been hauled away apart from a rotting stump; I had some beautiful mountain laurel blooming next to my tent pad, which provided some coverage between the pad and the site next to me. The camp hosts were also kind and helpful. There was no cell signal, which I appreciated-- you could walk to the Pisgah Inn from camp if you needed wifi.
However, unless I was staying for two nights or less, or had a camper with a wet bath, I probably won't return-- the bathroom facilities were lackluster. The entire campground had only two individual shower stalls for women, which didn't have locks, and the bathrooms never seemed to be cleaned; I was there for six nights and water was constantly over the entire floor of one shower house, while the other was completely out of soap and was never refilled. A lot of the tent sites were also quite close to each other-- I'm lucky and had some great neighbors, but if that weren't the case I would not have enjoyed my stay very much. The camp overall had amazing weather being so high up, and the stargazing at night was fabulous, but in general the bathroom situation cancelled out a lot of the positives. There was also a good bit of poison ivy growing around right by my food storage bin.

Our site was very private and beautifully maintained. The bear box at the site was big enough for the cooler and a week’s worth of food. We had many trails going out of the campground and within driving distance to hike on. During the week we took time off from hiking to enjoy Brevard and Asheville. The view from The Pisgah Inn, which was right there was stunning.

Stayed at both D18 and D25, and had such a relaxing and pleasant mountain adventure. Interacted with a few of the park rangers who were delightful. The campground is so clean and well maintained. Our first time tent camping with dogs, that was memorable and fun. Will be back and get D25 again if we get the opportunity!

Such a nice place to camp. I was with my son on a fishing trip. It is our 3rd time staying here and it's always great. We fished early until late in the evening. The campground is always quiet and clean. The weather is perfect in June with cool mornings and evenings. The location is excellent with the Pisgah Inn right across the road if you want to grab breakfast away from camp. It's also nice to have a general store on the parkway in case you forget to bring something. Oh, and there is hot water! I look forward to staying here every year.

Great campground with many hiking trails to explore. Most sites are not level, so kind of tough in an RV. Cell service can be spotty, you can hike up to the camp store or Pisgah Inn for decent coverage.

Our campsite was right on top of the next, and deceptively photographed.
Other than that, everything was top tier.
