Pondside Single pond was originally a small quarry outlier for Grove Stone Quarry in Black Mountain. There are many small quarries in this area that were dug in the 1940s and 1950s. After they finished their work, reclamation was done, and the quarries were filled in by the streams and tributaries which flow down this valley. It is a very shallow pond which offers sanctuary to birds, fishes, salamanders, frogs, snapping turtles, beaver and otters. I have installed a Clemson Beaver Pond Leveler at the overflow. This device tricks the Beavers and they can not hear or feel the water flowing out of the pond. It has been in place for 3 years and works like a charm. Beavers are very industrious creatures.RVs welcome at this single site beside our pond. An easy flat approach to camp site. My truck and trailer are 47', and I can easily back in. 35' Class A's have an easy time, too. Mountain views in the background. Birds and ducks, the occasional beaver or bear. Asheville is 20 minutes to the West and Black Mountain is 15 minutes to the East. They both offer a host of activities, extra nice local brews, yummy foods, and/or musing among the galleries, take a stroll in town, or a hike in the National Forests. Pondside Single is the perfect place to spend a quiet evening after a day exploring the surrounding area.

This was a fantastic and beautiful location. The host was great, power hook up and internet were an added bonus.

The site was large with a big pond, but it was about 50 or so yards from the road. While the road wasn’t that busy, it was a bit distracting.
