Glamping in North Carolina

Name: North Carolina
Address: North Carolina
Rating: 4.9185

With lakes, mountains, beaches, barrier islands, and miles of national forest, North Carolina offers a wide variety of scenic glamping experiences. Glampers can choose from tiny houses, yurts, treehouses, and even converted shipping containers, with many glamping options equipped with vacation rental perks such as coffeemakers, wifi, comfortable beds or futons with linens, along with luxury camping amenities including fire pits, hot tubs, and outdoor showers. With all this comfort, you may be tempted to just hang out at your glampsite, but there’s plenty to do outdoors, including whitewater rafting, kayaking, boating, soaking in Hot Springs, exploring the state’s many biking and hiking trails, and brewery hopping in downtown Asheville. If you'd rather just go out for a long drive, you'll find plenty of places to do so, from the Blue Ridge Parkway on the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountain range to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

In North Carolina, glamping is a type of outdoor stay combining camping's nature setting with the luxury and convenience of comforts like beds, warm showers, or electricity. When glamping in North Carolina, there's no need to bring your own tent—instead, glampers may stay the night in a cabin, a vintage Airstream, a canvas bell tent, a yurt, or even a treehouse.

Black Mountain, NC · 6 sites

Bald Eagles have been seen on April 27th, 2026! The views are hypnotic, looking down and out over the continental divide. Good morning, and sunsets can be seen from 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 are two-thirds, and some are one-third, depending on what one wants for tent size or sun exposure. (See pictures of each site/deck) Each deck features sun and rain curtains to help keep you comfortable in both sunny and rainy weather. Dogs enjoy a two-gate system that allows guests and dogs to 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 frequently. Lights and electrical outlets are 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. PMany 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, a fickle solar shower, and a pop-up changing room, along with an assortment of camping supplies from dog bowls to antimicrobial. 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 an excellent app for finding trails suited for your interests. Be respectful, please. 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.

"HYTTE" is a Norwegian word that translates to "cabin" or "cottage' in English. Hytte are small, wooden houses that are often built in the countryside or forest. They are typically rustic and simple, with basic furniture and utilities like a table ,chairs, bed and heat source. They are not equipped with running water or electricity. Ours have solar! The idea of hytte includes freedom, frugality and a simple life. We offer Steinhytte-the stone cabin, Trehytte- the wood cabin , Rosahvalhytte-the pink whale cabin and Furuhytte-the pine cabin. Come embrace what the Scandinavian people have been doing for hundreds of years. Unplug, unwind, relax and enjoy nature. See it through the eyes of your childhood. Play. Live. Breathe. Welcome to our little piece of heaven! Our property offers a variety of activities for you to enjoy and a variety of camping options. Set up camp in a tent, hammock, a car, a bus, or stay in one of our primitive dry camping cabins. All camp areas are private from our home, with a porta potty and well water available. Please be aware-we are a working farm. There is sometimes noise and if you are sensitive bring earplugs, headphones, etc... The ducks chatter and talk the night away, the dogs do bark if Bambi-Baloo-Thumper or their chicken siblings hang too close to the pens. We have wildlife here! Owls, coyotes, bear and deer some are more musical than others. Please be aware! Never put your hands where you can't see! North Carolina has several poisonous snakes and although we don't see them often, we are playing in their playground There are mosquitoes, ticks, fire ants (esp. after a good rain) and critters outdoors. Always bring bug spray even if you think you may not need it! To avoid unwanted interaction, keep tents/screens on cabins zipped or closed when not in use. Make sure food is "buttoned up" for the night and be aware of any crumbs or scraps dropped on the ground or in cabins. This will invite unwanted guests of all types. Be aware and observant where you walk and use a flashlight or headlamp at night. We will not be responsible for injury, bites, stings, etc... Be smart and camp safe! There are MANY things to do in our area that are low cost to free, which is an added plus for any families coming to visit! Just ask me and I'll give you suggestions depending on your budget. Plenty of stuff for grown-ups too! Walmart Express is less than three miles away and Walmart Supercenter is less than five miles away. Smithfields BBQ, Chinese and Bojangles are close by.

If you love the ocean, the beach is just a short distance away. Emerald Isle is ten miles away, Ft. Macon is twelve miles away. These both have public beaches and Ft. Macon offers hot showers if you don't opt for our cold one! Hikers will love the nearby trails and abundant hiking options from poccosin (bogs) swamps to the Mountain to Sea Trail. Our property is perfect for outdoor adventure and exploration. If you prefer a more relaxing stay, you can stay on our property and enjoy a refreshing swim in our pond or cozy up by a campfire. Bring your s'mores gear to belly up to a picnic table. Birdwatching is a popular activity here as we are a family-run bird farm with a variety of feathered friends including ducks, chickens, guineas, geese, turkey and even an emu or two! We offer mini tours of the animals when we feed up and kids like to help gather eggs. Just reserve the "Feeding time" and a head count. We are passionate about birds and love to share our knowledge with our guests. The porta toilet is located at the end of the emu pen and well water is available in front of the barn. Any vehicle over 6' will have to enter/exit on West (left) side of the pond due to low clearance. Cold water shower available. (Let me define...high tech redneck style; a hose with multi option spigot.) Our property is also conveniently located near the historic towns of Beaufort and New Bern, perfect for a day trip. There are nearby stores and farmers markets where you can get fresh veggies, and we are always willing to suggest places to go. You can also visit Fort Macon, Hammocks Beach, Carteret County Speedway, the NC Aquarium, local farms, live music at The Gardens and more.

Bring your boat because we have plenty of space to park and can direct you to whichever type of waterway you want to be on. There are nearby private fishing charters, horseback riding and ferry adventures to go see the ponies. Better yet go visit the NC Maritime Museum in Beaufort and get inspired to sign up to build your own boat. They offer excellent sea themed classes for the children during the summer. Sign up early because they fill up fast. Just one of our neat local treasures. We know people/locations to get you going for beach fishing, kayaking, hunting, and tons more. Don't forget there are many festivals, parades and floatillas nearby to enjoy. Mumfest in New Bern is always awesome and don't forget the NC Seafood Festival. During Winter carriage rides can be arranged through historical New Bern. We are open year-round, and Wintertime is a delight at the beach. Come visit us during the holiday season to enjoy the lights and cuddle up to a cozy campfire. The cabins are heated by propane, and we can have a tank ready for you when you arrive for an extra charge. A single 20 lb tank typically lasts four days. Light a luminary to float on the pond to make your New Year begin just right even just for a special occasion! We ask that no one smokes inside the cabins for the safety of yourself and allergies to other campers. Thank you in advance and please police your butts. We try to keep the area tidy. Please do not feed anything to our birds! Each species has a specialized diet and just one food item wrong could kill them.

Welcome to our little slice of creekside heaven! Four years ago, we took a run-down manufactured home park and started turning it into something special — a peaceful, down-to-earth spot for campers to relax, explore, and feel right at home. It's been a total labor of love, and now we’re excited to share it with folks who appreciate the beauty of nature, good company, and a few chickens wandering by. At night, things slow down — our campground is quiet, peaceful, and perfect for stargazing. We’ve got: 3 creekside RV sites with water + electric hookups 1 creekside RV site with full hookups (water, electric, and septic) 4 first-come, first-served creekside tent spots A 38' luxury RV available to rent for a comfy glamping stay All sites are right along Conleys Creek, which is stocked with trout and perfect for fishing or cooling off in the summer. Every spot includes a picnic table and fire pit — and tent sites come with a fire pit that includes a cooking grate for easy campfire meals. Our land is totally pesticide-free and full of life — from colorful flower gardens to veggies, herbs, fruit trees, and our famous 14 free-range chickens (a.k.a. The Dixie Chicks). Guests love feeding them, petting them, and collecting fresh eggs. You’ll also find: A clean, private bathhouse A game room with ping pong + darts Outdoor yard games Fast, reliable Wi-Fi Firewood, eggs, and ice for sale A dump station for RVs We’re in a super convenient spot — nestled between Bryson City and Cherokee, just a short drive from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Dillsboro, Sylva, and tons of hiking, biking, kayaking, tubing, and whitewater adventures. We’re open year-round, but if you come during leaf peeping season, you’re in for a real treat — the colors are absolutely magical.

2 nights at Plumtree Campground Tents & Cabins

This cabin and site was a million times nicer than we expected!!! We expected a simple wooden box to keep us out of the rain and got a big cozy cabin complete with covered porch, lamp, and rocking chairs. We didn’t end up needing hardly any of the gear we brought. The bathhouse is literally right outside. There’s great WiFi that covers the entire campground. The pavilion with fire pit, picnic tables, lights, grills, and a whole smoker are just a short walk down the hill. The attendant was helpful and friendly. It was so quiet and peaceful. Even though there’s a ton of sites and cabins we really felt like we had our privacy. It was a fantastic experience, highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Black Barn Farm

Jennifer is the most generous host. She is very thoughtful in the details and offers access and assistance to what ever is needed to ensure the experience was enjoyable for lasting memories. We plan to come again. The area is quiet and peaceful. The pond is well appreciated on hot days. A store for needed supplies like icel is conveniently down the road.

The Star Gazer Dome is a unique outdoor structure located in a tranquil, wooded area. This dome-shaped observatory is designed to provide a spectacular view of the night sky and surrounding forest. The dome is made of clear, weather-resistant materials that allow for an unobstructed view of the stars above, and is nestled in a shaded area to provide a comfortable, cool environment for stargazing. Whether you're an astronomy enthusiast or simply looking for a peaceful retreat, the Star Gazer Dome is the perfect place to marvel at the wonders of the universe.

Weekend Trip to Starlight Hills

Definitely would recommend for fall camping. Loved the cabin we were in. The view of the mountains in the mornings was beautiful. Very clean showers and restrooms. A variety of camping styles on site. Spa was very cute and relaxing and also included a nice view of the mountains.

Weekend Trip to Mountain Top Cabins on Private Land

We had such a peaceful and memorable stay at Cabin 2! The hike up was challenging but incredibly rewarding, and the views made every step worth it. It was so quiet and relaxing up there. We highly recommend hiking up to Big Bald for both sunrise and sunset. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking. The breakfast each morning was delicious, with plenty of fresh and healthy options. We loved our stay and hope to come back in the fall to experience the changing leaves!

Weekend Trip to Above the Fray Glamping, Black Mtn.

This was our third trip to Above the Fray! We love staying here and will continue to come back as much as we can. The location is super convenient to town but also feels very secluded and private. The view is stunning. It was really hot the weekend we stayed but having access to electricity and a fan helped keep our tent comfortable through the night. We can't wait to return in the fall!

Weekend Trip to Above the Fray Glamping, Black Mtn.

Loved Doug's camping decks, you cant beat that view and being out in nature with the bears and whippoorwills, it was a very much appreciated and wonderful relaxation time, Doug is responsive and very helpful, his decks have enough to get you started with tables, chairs and a solar camping shower, the only downside which didnt effect the experience is the steps leading down to the decks can be rough carrying a bunch of gear

1 night at At the Ridge Camp-Riverside Escapes

The property is very cozy with the river cabin. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the Courthouse falls nearby, as well as time in the water right on-site. Brevard was just a quick jump away.

2 nights at Outercamp, Blue Ridge Falls Retreat

We had a lovely time here. The yurt had everything we needed. The grill and burner were perfect for cooking and making coffee. The property was private and it felt like being alone in nature but with everything we could possibly need. The yurt had a battery that we could use to charge our phones and they had a fan to keep the home cool. We are hoping to come back again!

1 night at Above the Fray Glamping, Black Mtn.

We loved our trip. We did "Above the Fray "platform camping in Black Mountain #285 . It was our first time and we stayed just one night. We went with minimal items and just blew up an air mattress and slept under the stars. Very quiet. We will go back.

2 nights at Black Barn Farm

I love the experience. They were nice, the cabin was clean, beautiful, and magical. The porta-potty was amazing clean, like smelled way better than me at the end of the day. The animals were cute, polite, and gave me space while not running away because I was out near them. Check in and check out was easy. They explained everything, answered questions regarding their farm. Will definitely return hopefully with a less busy schedule of events, so I can enjoy the peace this place brings.

Weekend Trip to Above the Fray Glamping, Black Mtn.

Above the Fray completely lived up to its name! I didn’t want to leave. Doug has created something really special, and you can tell how much love and care he’s put into every detail. His communication was excellent from start to finish, and check-in and check-out couldn’t have been easier. The platform shelter was solid, comfortable, and perfectly positioned to soak in the incredible views. Watching the mist roll through the Continental Divide made it feel like I was camping above the clouds. I camped through some storms, and the rain tarps were amazing—the bungee cords kept everything secure, and I stayed dry the whole time. The camp shower was another added convenience. It was refreshing and invigorating. Electricity, plentiful water, and probably the cleanest porta-potty ever were huge bonuses. My electric kettle was worth bringing, and next time I’ll definitely pack an electric griddle. Pro tip: stock up on ice before heading up—you may not want to leave! My dog, Kaya, loved it too. She spent hours relaxing on the platform enjoying the view and had plenty of room to wander the stairs and settle in for peaceful nights. If you head into Black Mountain, support the local businesses. Lookout Brewing, the General Store, Sister Gifts, and a walk around Tomahawk Lake were all highlights. The strength and recovery of this community after Hurricane Helene are truly inspiring. ❤️ I’ll definitely be back. Thank you, Doug!

Weekend Trip to TangleWood Creekside Campsites

The Safari tent was perfect for our family of 4 and our dog. It was rainy, so the covered front porch was clutch! We loved playing in the creek and exploring the Linville attractions.

5 nights at At the Ridge Camp-Riverside Escapes

My family had a blast staying at At The Ridge! The location is perfect for fun and sightseeing, and the campground had a relaxing atmosphere. The cabin was the perfect size for our group of 6, and we loved the creek right out back. Tom and Liana were so welcoming and helpful, we were immediately offered firewood and Tom brought over tube floats for the kids to use in the water. The town of Brevard is just down the mountain and has a quaint downtown shopping area, and the nearby Pisgah Bakehouse has phenomenal food. We will definitely be camping at At The Ridge again in the future!
