Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.

Experience a quiet, secluded, private mountain ridge with long-range views and shade from locust and wild cherry trees. Enjoy the fire pit under the stars in the evening. Conveniently located between Asheville and Waynesville, 3 miles off I-40, but it will feel like you are worlds away. We have a level 10X25 gravel pad to accommodate your RV or tent, with RV electric hookup.Bird songs and the wind rustling in the trees are the only sounds you hear atop this grassy knoll on Run Away Ridge. The entire ridge is private and yours to roam. A fire pit is at a clearing near the end of the ridge, where you can relax by fire-light under the stars. A 30 amp RV hookup and 110v receptacle are provided, and the gravel RV pad is level and measures 10X25 ft. Nearby trees are great for hammocking. Asheville is 35 minutes away, and Waynesville is 15-20 minutes. You will be 3 miles from Ingles Supermarket and tons of fast food choices, but once you are on the ridge you will feel like you’re on a private mountain. Campers at Run Away Ridge can request free day access to the 160 acre Pause Eco-Retreat (see our other property), which is ten minutes away by car. Pause has some of the most beautiful hikes and views in the county! NOTE: The 1/2 mile gravel driveway to the site is steep, so a 4WD is recommended, and mandatory if you are towing a camp trailer. Trailer size is limited to 25 ft.

The site was smaller than I anticipated and very close to the driveway. I also got unlucky with weather (not the hosts fault) so I didn't end up staying through the weekend.

Beautiful private site
Very private and serene. Wonderful site to experience nature with privacy. Definitely pay attention to the 4 wheel drive recommendation especially if pull small camper. Totally worth the drive. When you see the gate, look to your left and the grassy area with gravel pad is there.

Beautiful, quiet, and secluded! If you are looking for the perfect getaway in the woods, this is the spot. The hosts keep it well-maintained with the grassy areas mowed (thank you!). And the gravel parking spot for our little trailer was perfect. It includes a picnic table and campfire area. The site is long and meanders into the woods so that there is a lovely amount of space. Our dog loved sniffing around on her leash and runner, and we walked down the well-maintained gravel road (easily accessible with 4wd). We were relieved that we did not encounter loose/roaming dogs, as this is has been an issue when camping in other areas.
