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 view. Amazing location. Everything about it was great. Dont expect a Koa. If you want a nice primitive spot with quiet surroundings and peacefulness, while still being able to shower and what not, this is your place. We loved it.

We tent-camped in B11. It was a very private site, with lits of vegetation between us and the next site. The bathrooms were clean and the two showers had good pressure and hot water. Campers obeyed the quiet hours. We were close to many goid hiking spots and gorgeous views

We were fortunate to have a fairly level site, but the bathrooms were in need of update, possible cleaning.

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.

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.

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.

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.
