North Carolina’s Best Kept Camping Secret Is This Mountaintop Spot With More Than 30 Glorious Campsites

Camping this season in North Carolina? You won't find a more intimate mountaintop campground than the one at Campfire Lodging, just seven miles north of downtown Asheville. From your perch high on the mountain, you can gaze out over the valley below and layers and layers of mountains on the other side of the valley.

With Premium and Deluxe RV sites as well as tent sites and even some rustic yurts, the campground has camping for just about every taste.

Get your camper, RV, or tent all settled in and then have a seat to enjoy the breathtaking view.

The campground also has a gathering spot where people converge at sunset to swap stories of the day as the last golden hue slips beyond the mountains.

Enjoy long-range views of the Blue Ridge Mountains from your campsite. These are views that will leave you weak in the knees!

Over the past year, all but one of the many Google Reviews for this campground have been a solid five out of five stars. There's nothing like a slurry of people who've all had a great experience to help solidify a visit to a new camping spot.

The campground comes complete with 4.5 miles of walking trails. Circle the mountain ridge on foot while admiring the stellar view.

There's also a laundry room, clean bathhouse facilities, a fishing pond (catch and release only), and free WiFi on top of the mountain.

And as mentioned, a number of yurts are also available for rent, as well as cabins and even a single cliff house.

Smaller campgrounds with amazing reviews and a lot of repeat business often mean it's essential to plan well in advance to get a reservation.

Keep that in mind when you're planning a visit to Campfire Lodgings.

This is a great spot to call your home away from home whether you're doing touristy things in Asheville or not.

It is so close to so many things to do, you may have trouble narrowing down the options!
