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 4,980 ft, 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.

This is a gorgeous place with trails and views easily accessible. The Pisgah Inn is directly across the street in case you want to take a break from camping and go out for a meal or buy a bottle of wine, which you can enjoy while watching the sunset there from a rocking chair. The only downside was neighbors who played their radio too loud.

We enjoyed staying at Mount Pisgah. We have a 26 ft C class RV and was barely able to fit both the rig and a medium size vehicle into the campsite. All of the campsites that could hold a C class RV or similar are a little on the tight side. we loved the location and the restrooms were clean and the staff friendly. If you are trying to connect to water for your rig you can't so be prepared- they do have a RV ready water station beside the dump station

Lovely campground. Went in early August—great temps at night for sleeping (50 degrees) and very few bugs when I went. Campgrounds are sizable, and many offer a ton of tree coverage and feel quite private. Mount Pisgah lodge is a short walk away and has a terrific souvenir shop, as well as some purchasable Biltmore wines. No views inside the campground, but Mt. Pisgah lodge nearby offers some terrific views.

Close to a good amount of day hikes, and not too far from Asheville—can’t recommend this park enough!

Pretty much what we expected for a National Park campground. Good facilities and services nearby. Nice shaded camp sites. Separate areas for tenters vs RVs. Good location on Blue Ridge Parkway.

We love Mt Pisgah Campground! So peaceful, and always cool, even in August... The campsites are positioned to be (mostly) secluded from each other, and RVs and tent campers are kept apart. The rangers are helpful and nice. We will be back every year!
