Creature comforts
Enjoy the comforts of home at some sites—including flush toilets, showers, and a kitchen.
Nestled at the base of Spivey mountain, only 10 minutes from downtown Asheville, we are surrounded by trees, water and mountain views. The sounds of the flowing creek, accompanied by bullfrogs and tree frogs around the pond, give the feeling of being far away from the bustle of the city, yet all the attractions of town are only few minutes drive. On site, we have a cooperative workshop, where artists come to work on their craft. From knife making and herbalism to vintage motorcycle mechanics, there is always something interesting going on! During the day, glimpse some of the locals in their native habitat :-) At night fall asleep to the serenade of cicadas, the moon peeking through the trees, and wake up to watch the mist rise off the mountain. The ground floor of the house welcomes campers to use the well stocked communal kitchen and bathroom. Wifi and other amenities available in the community area as well. We welcome you to come share in our working family's funky little slice of paradise in the ever evolving hip town of Asheville!

Fight Disaster Tourism!
I skipped my visit to Spivey Mountain Basecamp out of concern and respect for Jean and her Buncombe County neighbors, who are suffering in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. I did not cancel my reservation, because I wanted that money, as little as it is, to go to Jean as a gesture of support. "Disaster tourism" is ugly and destructive. I would hope that no Hipcamper would ever do it.

My group had a great experience at Firefly Haven! Jean and Dawn are such gracious hosts and very kind people. They had great area recommendations and were very interesting folks to chat with! The camping was laid back, comfortable, and quiet. Can't recommend them enough for folks passing through Asheville. We hope to see them again soon!

I had a great time camping on Jean's property. They were very welcoming and easy to communicate with. The location of their property is also excellent as it's quite close to downtown which made it easy to do things in the city. There's also ample space to set up a tent or multiple tents by the creek. I would highly recommend Jean's property to the hipcamp community and would definitely stay there again.
