First off, the recreation.gov website did not list this campground as having hot showers, yet they do (in Loops B & C). So that's a plus. The campground is divided into 4 loops - A for larger RVs, B for pop-ups/vans and C & D for tents only. The tent loops had the best sites...so if you're camping in a tent, you have lots of good sites from which to choose. Being in a pop-up, I stayed in Loop B. The driveway for the sites are paved and mostly level (at least mine was). But it was thin, so under the awning was partial pavement and partial grass (w/ a 3-4" curb"). It was also short, the PUP and TV barely fit into the site. Some sites have picnic tables and fire rings level with the driveway, others place those on a hill. Actually, some of the best, level sites in this loop were closed with caution tape (not sue why). The staff was friendly and other campers were as well.
Across the Parkway is the PIsgah Inn w/ restaurant and camp store.
We stayed here in a Popup Trailer. | | Comments (0) |

| Finding a level spot is a challenge | |
Just like most national park campgrounds, Mt. Pisgah Campground is beautiful. It doesn't have any hookup sites and we couldn't get any signal, but that's the point of unplugging and getting away from the city anyhow. It's a bit tricky to get a level site in this campground, though, because the park is built on a slope. But if you can get level, you can just sit back, relax and enjoy the quiet here.
We stayed here in a Class B Motorhome. | | Comments (0) |
