About Wolf Ford Horse Camp

Wolf Ford Horse Camp is a reservation only campground located in the Pisgah Ranger District of Pisgah National Forest, near the town of Brevard. The campground is designed and intended for equestrian use. This campground provides access to a comprehensive network of multiple use trails, as well as creeks, streams, and waterfalls, which the Pisgah is known for. In addition to its many waterfalls, Pisgah Ranger District is famous for its scenic vistas and the Cradle of Forestry, which is located only a short 4 mile drive from the campground itself.  Wolf Ford Horse Camp is located 3.2 miles down Yellow Gap Road, gravel Forest Service Road 1206, therein providing a serene escape from the main visiting traffic on Highway 276. Consequently, this campground provides the perfect launching point to explore many different destinations in the Forest, including the Blue Ridge Parkway, 276 Corridor, and countless other waterfalls accessed off of the district's many gravel Forest Service roads. After you make your reservations online, we highly reccomend a stop to our visitor center located right off Route 276 near the forest entrance for help in creating your itinerary. The visitor center provides a wide variety of resources and local experts happy to answer any of your questions.

I was hesitant to book a camping trip over a holiday weekend but thought that with this campground being designed for horses and having pit toilets for facilities the chances of large families with unruly children would be small. I was wrong. It was far from a peaceful weekend and when everyone was asleep the amount of lights left on all night was ridiculous. While this would be a lovely place to stay, other campers made us scrap our last day and go home for the peace and quiet we were looking for in nature. Very relieved no one with horses had actually booked. I'm sure they would have been stressed from the constant screaming.

It was great to stay at Wolf Ward once again this spring, a big shout out to the caretakers with the national Forest service for the upkeep on the composting toilet, great job with the upkeep this year greatly appreciate it thank you. The wildlife was an abundance. The flowers were springing. The birds were singing. The sun was out. It was beautiful.โœŒ๏ธ

Small campground, bathrooms were clean and surprisingly didn't smell much for being the outhouse style. The only bad thing I can think of is our picnic table was very worn, needed replacing. The site next to use was empty so we ended up switching the tables.
