This Magical Waterfall Campground In North Carolina Is Unforgettable

Camping in North Carolina is pretty incredible...but throw in a waterfall and you've got an unforgettable camping experience. You've still got time to visit Mount Pisgah Campground before summer is over. Here are some details (and photos) that will make you want to pack your tent, fill your cooler with ice and beverages and head to this little camping spot.

You’ll find the Mount Pisgah Campground in the Pisgah National Forest, along the Blue Ridge Parkway.

It’s across the road from the Mount Pisgah Inn, at milepost 408.6. The campground is typically open from May to October.

The campground sits at an elevation of 5,000 feet.

It offers cool temperatures, plenty of shade, restrooms and showers.

Camp overnight at one of 70 tent sites or 67 RV sites.

You can stop by just for the day and use one of the 50 picnic sites, too.

Looking Glass Falls is a very short drive from the campground.

The 60-foot falls are gorgeous, and provide a great swimming hole for visitors. Looking Glass Falls is just one of many waterfalls in the area.

Make sure to visit Sliding Rock, nearby.

It can be quite crowded in the summer, but people line up to take their turn and the line usually moves pretty fast. It's a blast!

Float the river.

For a lazier experience, hop on a tube and just float along on the river. It's nice and cool, and the scenery is beautiful.

Mount Pisgah Campground is within hiking distance of the Mount Pisgah summit.

The views from the summit are incredible - it's worth the hike.

Other hiking trails criss cross the entire area.

You could spend days hiking here.
