Mount Pisgah Campground

Amount paid reflects senior all access rate. All the good stuff here. We are in a truck pop up camper, which most NPs say can go in any site, including "tent only." The ranger at the kiosk disagreed, wanted us to be in the RV loop, but let it go because we don't have a generator, I think. So we were in Loop D, beautiful, quiet, and walkable to bathhouses. Bathrooms were great by NP standards - clean, hot water, lit, and one of them was even heated which made the showering experience lovely. Even during "leaf" season and on a weekend, the loop was only half full.

No cell service at our site but we walked up to the lodge and there was strong cell service as well as free wifi.

Great trails right from the campground - spouse went up to Mt. Pisgah, while I did the Buck Springs loop, all lovely.

The ride to this camp from the Smokies is absolutely fabulous. Take the time to pull over into several overlooks, the views are sensational!
Once arriving here, if you are in any type of RV, I would recommend taking a peek at all of the available sites before choosing one. Most are woefully out of level. And small. Drive in them and see how they suit your needs/tastes. It's worth the effort. The site I chose was so sloped from back to front that a total of 13 Lynx Levelers stacked "Lego" style under the front wheels (10 on the passenger side) was not enough to get me to level.
There are two bath houses which have one shower in each of them. Great showers, large, plenty of pressure and nice hot water. Most sites have nicely secluded sitting areas, many of which are a short way from the parking pad. The Lodge complex across the way is certainly convenient for its grab and go food, restaurant and camp store. It's also a great place to sit out and peruse a beautiful view and be able to surf on the web (which is spotty - at best - in the campground). The Lodge is within easy walking distance from the camp ground and there is actually a short trail from the C Loop which goes to the store.
The campground is adequate for what it is - a decent enough stop from which to hike and otherwise explore the area. Interior roads, while tight, are easy enough to navigate with care. I have a 20 foot truck camper and I wouldn't want to arrive here with anything too much larger than that.
All in all, for 10 bucks it's hard to beat it if you are touring the Blue Ridge area.

Great location. Right on the parkway and close to Asheville (30 minutes). Lots of hiking nearby - Mt Pisgah trail, Fryingpan summit, Graveyard Fields / Second Falls, and more. Gorgeous scenery. Plus, close to Asheville so you can shop at the farmers market or go into town and enjoy the craft beers.

Sites are small and many are quite sloped, especially in the RV ring, and the bathrooms are old, Sites are private, lots of rhododendrons. And, best of all, NO MOSQUITOES!!! Flies are minimal, few spiders, and NO TICKS. And, much cooler than Asheville - 10-15 degrees cooler.

We will be coming again.

Some sites are good, some not so good, some terrible. All of them are beautiful however. A15 was a really nice site: level, room enough for my trailer and my truck, and the fire ring and picnic table nearby a direct path to the bathroom. A16 on the other hand was very unlevel and the fire ring/picnic table were up like 5 stairs. The net is, try to pick your site carefully.

No sites have electric or water, so be prepared to boondock and fill your tanks from spigots in the campground.

If you are looking for cell coverage, get a site near the back of the A loop (A15/16). Anything near the front of the loop I had no signal at all. In general, I could only get a Verizon signal, no AT&T signal except up by the BRP. There is always good wifi at the Inn across the street from the parking lot.

The first of the BRP campgrounds you encounter when heading north. All sites are primitive with no hook-ups, but there's water spigots throughout and a dump station. This one also has flush toilets and a shower.

The sites are quite a mix here, with some very unlevel. We did first come first serve and selected site 13 for being fairly level, private feeling and having a whiff of Verizon signal (just enough to get basic work done, some streaming, but not enough upload capacity to video conference).

Most sites don't have much signal at all, best odds are choosing sites at the top of the two RV loops. Great signal is to be found across the street at the lodge and the overlook.

This is a National park service campground on the blue ridge parkway with paved sites carved into the mountain side. Three loops, rv, van pop up, and tent. A few sites for big rigs. Water and dump available but not at the sites. Ranger hut and camp hosts. Self check in after hours. Half price with the federal senior card. Excellent hiking trails. Amazing views. Across the road from the historic Pisgah Inn with a camp store restaurant and inn. Unlevel sites and only two showers. Free WiFi at park office and the inn. Verizon at the inn.

We camped in our T@B teardrop trailer and have stayed here on three past occasions as tent campers. The campground is spacious with four camping loops. Loop A is for RVs, Loop B for vans and pop ups, and loops C and D are tent only. There are showers in loops B and C. Like most National Park facilities it is underfunded and has some deferred maintenance but nothing that detracts from a stay. Hiking trails start at the campground, and it is only a few miles to the mountain bike mecca of Brevard. During the day there was some motorcycle noise from the Blue Ridge Parkway but none at night. It was pleasantly cool at 5000 feet and we had the windows open. There are no hookups but there is a dump station at the entrance.

Recommended for those who want a quieter, old-style camping experience.
