Great campround at elevation so stays cool compared to Davidson River. It does have a lot of hills, so if you have limited mobility it may not be ideal for you as getting to the bathrooms can be difficult and getting to our picnic table was up a hill, but not all campsites are like that, there's plenty that aren't. Be aware there is only one shower stall for men and women so especially if you are a woman, you may have a wait. Also, if you are disabled and camped far away there is no designated parking for the showers which you can work around but is not ideal. It is a nice campground with respectful campers. We were there two weeks as there is a lot of hiking even if you have limitations. Cradle of Discovery is fun and great picnic sites. The Pisgah Visitor Center is a must stop if you want accurate information and suggestions for things to do, the staff is VERY good at helping you. Beautiful views, highly recommend grabbing a couple camp chairs and having lunch at a turn out. The North Carolina Arboretum was absolutely lovely and we recommend a trip there. The forest does get crazy busy on weekends, popular spots are best left for weekdays.

We live locally and thought we'd try camping at the Mt. Pisgah campground and treat ourselves for dinner at the Pisgah Inn. It was my sister's birthday.
The reservation process was difficult and required that we show up on the day we wanted to stay to get the site we wanted.
How does this work for anyone? Loading up the vehicle with all our camping gear in hopes of there being a spot available??
Compared to Mills River and Davidson River campgrounds, this campground pales in comparison. The weeds and poison ivy were overgrown and the fire ring was such that you couldn't sit around it. There was one shower for many, many people camping. With the campground being full, you'd think some of the $ could be spent on upkeep.
The meal we had at the Inn was subpar. The meatloaf which was pricey had very little taste.
Honestly, I'm not a complainer but this experience was a major letdown.

Wonderful campsites, and many are private. Lots of hiking close by. Cool summer temps, usually 10 degrees cooler than down in Asheville. My only complaint is that the shower & shower curtains were very moldy.

Beautiful campground. The store and restaurant nearby were great. The campground staff were very nice and helpful. The Blue Ridge Parkway is very pretty. The Brinegar Cabin and the interpretive talk given was great.

Everything was perfect. The rangers were friendly and professional. The campground was clean and well maintained. The comfort stations were excellent. We had a wonderful week and enjoyed the trails and fresh air. We plan to return again in the Fall and again next Summer. Thank you.
