The views are hypnotic and look down and out over the continental divide. Good morning sun and sunsets can be seen in the same spot. Your car is parked within feet of your deck so Car Campers and experienced campers can enjoy. Designed with campers and dogs in mind. The deck is large (384 square feet) with a tin roof. Some roofs are full size, some 2/3rds and some 1/3rd, depending on what one wants for tent size or sun exposure. (See pictures of each site/deck) Each deck has sun and rain curtains for helping keep comfortable in normal weather. Dogs enjoy a two gate system so quests and dogs can be leash free and away from the road. All dog owners know to pick up after their pets. The human Private Porta John is cleaned weekly. Lights and electrical is 110V (3 prongs) for YOUR coffee pots, electric grills, mattress inflators, crockpots, electric blankets fans, etc. I do not provide any electrical appliances, other than counter area lighting and low level string lights so one can see the night sky. Many of my campers will "Pay it Forward" and leave coffee pots, hot plates, fans and such, so count yourself lucky to find a deck with them. I provide chairs, 5 gallons of fresh water in containers, fickle solar shower and pop up changing room along with an assortment of camping supplies from dog bowls to antimicrobial wipes. I provide various size garbage bags to manage your garbage. Your parking area is next to the deck. Black Mountain’s tasty restaurants are 4 miles away and All Trails is a great app for finding trails suited for your interest. Be respectful to the place and please be friendly to the people you meet. Learn more about this land: Private Glamping Decks with a view that pictures do not do justice. Private decks on a dead-end gravel road mean hopefully the sounds will only be of nature. The conveniences of electricity, porta john, water, chairs, table, roof, cleaning supplies, rain curtains, and astounding views have my Glampers coming back often. Designed with Dogs in mind with a two-gate system and no need for a leash when on the deck. Obnoxious, barking dogs are not welcome, so bring only controlled and well socialized dogs. Help me keep it dog friendly. Never block the road with a park car.

Southern sun, full roof. 283

283 perfection!

We had an AMAZING time staying at Doug's property! The amenities were better than we expected, and we loved every minute of our time at site 283! Having the tarps to pull closed helped as the first night was frigid and very windy. It had a "homey" feel while still roughing it! Our dog was always safe with the double locking system. Thank you for everything!

Perfect for Birdwatching

283 is truly a gem. The view is breathtaking and the sounds of nature were just what I was looking for. An excellent spot to bird watch! Be sure to bring sunglasses and sunscreen - the sun hits the deck directly throughout the day which is great for keeping warm in the colder months.

11/10

The property was absolutely stunning. The deck was very very nice with many accommodations from other campers, and the host. Porta potty was very clean. Would highly recommend looking at your forecast, especially wind. That was the only fault and you can’t fault mother nature. This is a great place for beginner or experienced campers.
