Nestled between evergreen-covered peaks in Etowah and in the shadows of Pisgah National Forest lies Green Haven. With mountain views, rustic and comfortable campsites, and abundant plants and animals to appreciate, Green Haven is a peaceful destination to get away from it all and enjoy spending time immersed in nature and mountain solitude. Wildlife abounds in the area. Deer and white squirrels are a common sight. Tall white pines, poplar, and rhododendron shade the campsites. Enjoy mountain spring water during the winter and spring months (seasonal water supply). Build a crackling fire in the fire pit from available pre-cut wood and existing dead wood around the campsites. Hike the property on the designated trails and discover rock outcroppings, long range mountain views, fern forests, and a variety of wild mushrooms seasonal. Families, individuals, and groups alike enjoy camping here! We have 3 very private campsites. "Chanterelle" campsite has a fire ring, picnic table, and accommodates 5 people. "Fern" has a fire ring, picnic table, and can accommodate 4 people. Both sites have access to a pit latrine. The third site, "Big Rock" is a group site located at the top of the property, offering mountaintop views. Must have V6 or 4WD to access. Big Rock has a fire ring, 2 picnic tables, and its own pit latrine. A seasonal spring (Oct-July) is available on the property and a small stream, Piney Branch, that runs year round, drink at own risk (see map). There are two marked hiking trails. Please use the map to stay on property. Green Haven is centrally located 20 minutes between Brevard and Hendersonville. DuPont State Forest is 25 minutes away and it includes hiking, mountain biking, and waterfalls. Boaters will find the French Broad River, Horseshoe Bend, river access less than 10 minutes. More hiking and mountain biking at Ride Kanuga 15 minutes away. Nearby breweries include Mills River Brewery and Bold Rock Cidery 15 minutes away.

Big Rock - Group Primitive Site

Amazing spot!

We had a group of 13 tent camp at big rock and it was the perfect space. Susanne was very helpful and the directions were clear. This turned out to be an awesome trip with incredible views!

Big Rock - Group Primitive Site

Fantastic campsite! Private and secluded, plenty of room to spread out and gorgeous. Absolutely loved staying here and will be coming back. It’s a steep drive up to the top so make sure you have 4WD but nothing too crazy. Well worth the trip.

Chanterelle - Primitive Campsite

Susanne’s place was perfect for a weekend of camping! She was super friendly and accommodating, and responded quickly to walk me through when I had trouble finding the property. The property was very secluded and quiet, the campsite was well stocked with firewood and the fully enclosed privy was a nice added touch! Perfect spot for a peaceful off-the-grid getaway, but there was decent cell service if needed (ATT). Thanks so much again for hosting me on such a short notice! Will definitely be back

Loved Big Rock!

We had the best time camping at Big Rock! It is a really wonderful spot for group camping. The site was lovely, as was the view, and having the clean outhouse was so nice! The site felt very private yet not too far from civilization should we need anything. I would highly recommend Bog Rock campsite and definitely plan on coming to camp again!

Fern - Primitive Campsite

Susan‘s place was just what you need for an accessible yet secluded camping experience. There were no safety concerns and the camp was well kept and even had firewood available would definitely recommend.

Big Rock - Group Primitive Site

We loved Big Rock

This is a fantastic site! He loved how remote it was! The views from the mountain top were great on the hike and at the sight. The trail was awesome! 4WD was definitely necessary getting up to Big Rock. The peace and quiet was lovely, except for some people shooting guns nearby, which did not really bother us and is just part of being in the country. We brought our own wood but there was some waiting for us when we arrived. Overall I would highly recommend this spot for groups or solo camping. We will definitely be back!
