Asheville, NC 28803

A Blue Ridge Parkway experience is unlike any other: a slow-paced and relaxing drive revealing stunning long-range vistas and close-up views of the rugged mountains and pastoral landscapes of the Appalachian Highlands. The Parkway meanders for 469 miles, protecting a diversity of plants and animals, and providing opportunities for enjoying all that makes this region of the country so special.

Directions

The parkway is a 469-mile-long scenic road connecting Shenandoah National Park in Virginia to Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina. Numerous federal and state highways provide access to the parkway. Milepost markers are positioned every mile along the parkway, starting at 0 in Virginia and ending at 469 in North Carolina. We suggest using a map to identify the area you want to visit, as GPS directions often do not incorporate the parkway's milepost system.

Great location in walking distance to many trailheads and a short drive on the Parkway to others. Something for every interest and outdoor pursuit. The campground was very quiet despite the busy fall weekend. We hope to return in the spring when the mountains are beginning to green up.

Some sites definitely need some maintenance. Forced to use tent pad- make it level! We slid from one end of the tent to the other in the night. Fire pit was in the side of a hill. One in our group was injured from chair falling over. It was a cold weekend and the showers were lukewarm warm in a freezing room. Rules not enforced at night. Several large parties that went late into the night with cases and cases of alcohol. This is one of my go to campgrounds, but it is quickly going downhill while raising it’s prices rapidlly. Please reinvest in these campsites.

Clean restrooms and nice campsites although a bit close together. Campground was full the weekend we were there. Would definitely return.

The Mt Pisgah Campground is one of the best NPS campgrounds I have been to. Very large sites, nice facilities and being located across from the Inn is a huge plus. Would highly recommend to anyone trying to unplug and relax.
