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.

#6 Riverside Camping Cabin
Absolutely wonderful stay! We had such an amazing time exploring the area and coming back to a warm cabin. The sound of rushing water was like a natural white noise. Everyone should experience this at least once!

Very good trip
Was a very good trip. 30 minutes from brevard so we spent the day there. Plenty of amenities and was a much better option than sleeping in a tent during cold weather.

#2 Riverside Great Camping Cabin
Great spot!
I loved the area and cabin we stayed in. It was right on the river and the host was very welcoming and took care of us! I highly recommend this spot for a base camp for all your Pisgah adventures!

The cabins with the river flowing through, so pretty! Everyone was very nice and happy to help with pretty much anything. There were barking dogs a good part of the day, but I understand they were keeping the bears away. Overall super cute and welcoming property
