Our property was once owned by Transylvania County Sheriff Carter McCall. 36 acres in the middle of Pisgah National Forest. “Simple Mountain Camping” is our motto. Located approximately seven miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway, At the Ridge Campground is surrounded by North Carolina’s beautiful Pisgah National Forest and the North Fork River. Here you can experience what you came to the Blue Ridge Mountains for: crisp evenings, sitting around the campfire, excellent views, relaxing in nature, hiking to waterfalls and fishing, Don’t forget our favorite, just watching the water go by! All at an affordable price.

Riverside Escape Site 2
The land is beautiful and Tom was so friendly and welcoming. He recommended we go to the Country Skillet in Rosman for breakfast and it was worthwhile. We were sad to have to leave such a lovely creekside spot. The amenities were basic but they clearly cared about providing a good experience for the campers there, and I appreciate that so much.

#5 Riverside Camping Cabin
Delightful and relaxing
Cabin 5 was wonderful. You can rest hearing and seeing the babbling brook and falls. There's room to sleep 3. The bath house has 3 wonderful showers. There are also regular toilets and sinks at the bathhouse. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Thanks Sarah, Roger, and Tom for making our stay delightful!

#2 Riverside Great Camping Cabin
Can sleep a lot of people.
It's a huge cabin compared to the others. You have 2 full size mattresses and one twin on the loft. You have a very comfortable twin on the ground floor. The back porch is relaxing to sit and listen to the bubbling creek. Overall a delightful night in cabin 2!
