Old NC-105 Dispersed Campsites

Traveling through the area. Needed a camp spot for the night. Tuck back in a little bit so the cars driving by at night, which were few, had little light come into the area.

We were only able to go about 2 miles after the info. Center. Even though we are in a high clearance van, you need four-wheel drive. Unfortunately there is a really bad section with huge holes in the road, rocks sticking up, around a corner and a steep upgrade. Most cars, if the person cares about not ripping out their underneath tur... more

Would never come back here again, in fact, I’m getting close to never considering a dispersed site in the state of NC. Once again, a dispersed area that is not suitable for RVs or travel trailers. There just aren’t any spots an RV or travel trailer will fit. They also require permits on weekends from May-October (they are free, but onl... more

Very bumpy road. I live in my Van "VANILLA" full time. I drove slow to prevent anything in my van from falling down. Other people were right on my back bumper, I had to pull over to let them go by and they just drove off fast. I didn't like that too much. Otherwise the place was awesomely quite. No bugs.

I've moved around to several sites along this road in the past 2 weeks. The road must've been redone as it is an easily drivable dirt road. There are so many sites tucked in; side with beautiful views. 5G service on Verizon and weaker 5G on Sprint/Tmobile. About 10 cars a day drive by with more on the weekends.

Fairly good number of campsites of different qualities. Sites range from multi-tent sites with fire-rings to heavily rutted single car pull-offs. I would recommend searching a little and not just selecting the first one.

There were a couple of okay looking campsites but for the most part what I saw was just a sort of dirt path bulldozed off the road to create somewhere to throw a tent. Good place to arrive late and leave early, but I'll admit I was grateful to have a free place to stay right by the blue ridge parkway.

Tried to camp here, didn’t find much and the road was getting worse. There were a couple trail heads, one definite campsite and a couple of places that were maybe campsites. Wouldn’t recommend for anything other than tent camping.

Needed a free campsite for just one night. This one was nearby the Blue Ridge Parkway near Linville Falls. The road in was graded recently, but still a one lane, primitive road. Larger campers can make it, but be warned, some of the campsites are smaller than others. Neighbors are nearby, but not too close...you can hear them, but can'... more

There are approximately 14 dispersed roadside campsites in the Linville Gorge Section of the Pisgah National Forest on Old NC 105, also known as Kistler Memorial Highway. Verizon cellular service clocked in at 5.44 Mbps download speed and 2.46 Mbps upload speed. AT&T cellular service clocked in at 58.0 Mbps download speed and 3.11 Mb... more
