3 nights at Babbling Brook Campground

We had a great time. It was such a beautiful and relaxing setting - just what we needed to unplug and connect for a long weekend. Elizabeth was a fantastic host and went above and beyond to help us feel welcome. Our 2.5 year old son had so much fun splashing in the river and visiting with the farm animals. Would totally recommend!!

Weekend Trip to Babbling Brook Campground

This little haven was exactly what we were hoping for this trip - immersion in the outdoors with a few more amenities than just plain camping. Elizabeth’s place was so thoughtfully and creatively designed, and it truly was peaceful. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Weekend Trip to Mountaintop Fantasy

Peter, his communication and property are excellent. Truly enjoyed our stay, the accommodations, and the area. The sleeping area and deck are fantastic. The views are amazing. The lake and the surrounding areas are just close enough. But not too close. Private. Quite. So relaxing. We will be back.

Very nice experience. I love the roads. Got a glimpse of small black bear close to entry of main road. Great place to stay - nights are quiet and sleeping areas very safe. Treehouse was well equipped with electricity and counter space. Just bring food and cooler.

Weekend Trip to Above the Fray Glamping, Black Mtn.

We loved our time at 271! Great views, not too close to neighboring campers. We got a pop up rainstorm, and we were safe and dry. The hike up and down the steps (can cause sore knees if you’re not very active) was not slippery after the rain and provided beautiful views! We’ve already been recommending! Thanks Doug!

4 nights at Above the Fray Glamping, Black Mtn.

This 384sf rooftop deck is a serene retreat with 10/10 views, perfect for lounging under the stars, moon, or sun. Quiet and cozy, it’s furnished with comfy seating, ample counter space, and plenty of electrical outlets. Convenient parking adds to the ease. With excellent amenities, it’s a great place to disconnect and enjoy a peaceful, starry getaway.

2 nights at Above the Fray Glamping, Black Mtn.

Everything was as described online - beautiful view, clean port-a-potty, 5 gallons of potable water provided, easy to find with directions given. There was a thunderstorm with high winds overnight and nothing got wet. Its only 4 miles from plenty of places to buy groceries or eat fast food or at restaurants. Highly recommend.

2 nights at Above the Fray Glamping, Black Mtn.

Amazing views combined with many of the comforts of home, and then some. The platform overlooks the valley and has both close and long views. Doug provides five gallons of water, electricity and lighting, as well as your own porta-poti. 10 minutes down the mountain to the quaint town of Black Mountain and less than 30 minutes to Asheville. The directions were clear and the host was very responsive. If you’re looking for an amazing experience where you can spread out in your hammocks, listen to music, and cook a great meal, all why you are protected by the elements (metal roof, heavy tarp curtains to protect from the wind) then this is the place for you. Our party of five had plenty of room to spread out. You won’t be disappointed.

Weekend Trip to Above the Fray Glamping, Black Mtn.

My husband and I came for our anniversary! We had such a great trip. Our host Doug was friendly and made sure everything was top notch and clean. This is our second time staying on one of his platforms. Love this one, 271, because of the completely metal covered roof. The views are amazing. It’s so peaceful. Loved listening to rain the two days we were here. It stormed pretty hard one night but we stayed dry and safe thanks to the heavy duty curtains. The toilet was clean. Deck was clean. Road to the platform was well maintained and easy to travel. We will be back for sure! Thank you Doug.

6 nights at Mountaintop Fantasy

Very beautiful views and kids loved the treehouse. The host were very kind and accommodating. I would recommend downloading the region on Google maps before heading out since cell phone service is spotty. Our favorite spot on the visit was Cashiers Sliding Rock, we probably spent 8 hours out there in total.

2 nights at The Quack Shack

Such a fabulous host and overall excellent experience! Just book it and know you are going to experience something truly unique on this property and be well taken care of. Every detail has been very uniquely crafted. During our stay we felt very safe, relaxed and enjoyed the beautiful sounds of the river. The nights came alive with a beautiful moon and the sounds of nature. Coyotes in the far distance, raccoon, and a beautiful herd of deer drinking from the river. I hope all others who visit will respect and appreciate it as much as we did!

2 nights at Above the Fray Glamping, Black Mtn.

We enjoyed the sunsets and moonrises. Having electricity was a plus so there was light and power to charge our phone. The only thing that was unpleasant, and this is just the way it goes, the porta-potty odor was what I would expect from one. The nice thing was the airflow and the closed door to the platform kept the sour air out.

Group trip

3 nights at Above the Fray Glamping, Black Mtn.

The seclusion and beautiful scenic views from the site were unforgettable, especially for the strawberry full moon in June, and the support and hospitality of the owner(s) were ace. Being near Black Mountain was an unexpected gem. This place is highly recommendable.

Weekend Trip to Above the Fray Glamping, Black Mtn.

We loved the tree house experience at "Above the Fray"!! Very clean, everything we needed as far as bathroom, water, and electricity. Beautiful view of the mountains, incredible location/proximity to Black Mountain town. Top 10 experience for the whole family!

Weekend Trip to Above the Fray Glamping, Black Mtn.

Breathtaking views that you would never find at a regular campsite. Sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset, storms rolling in, birds going about their days: wonderful to just sit and take it all in. Shelter and electricity made things very comfortable while still enjoying the feeling of camping and being outdoors. Appreciated how much extra stuff there was onsite, including tables, chairs, and gravity shower. We had a great time. Will definitely be back.

Babbling Brook Campground

11 sites · Lodging, Tents10 acres · Moravian Falls, NC

Before the Kerr Scott Reservoir was built, in the 40's and 50's, this neighborhood was a local swimming hole and vacation area. Public buses came from neighboring communities so people could boat, swim, camp, and picnic. While we don't have access to the pond, our part of this land still is calling out to people, 'Come, rest, unload your burdens, and find peace.' When we started this project with Hipcamp, we didn't fully realize that we were reconnecting with the history on this property. So, come, take your shoes off, and wade in the creek. Read a book while laying in a hammock. Sit by the fire and chat with family and friends. Come and participate in our little homesteading project, and leave your burdens behind. LOCAL ACTIVITIES: To the west is the Blue Ridge Parkway, which is 30 minutes away. 15 minutes away is Kerr Scott Dam where you can rent kayaks, pontoon boats, as well as other sporting equipment. Fish, go mountain biking on the extensive trails, and hiking. Prayer Mountain is right up the road, about 2 miles away. Heading east, you can find several fine wineries andvineyards that you can visit. There is also a moonshine distillery in town. About a half hour away is an Amish community that has several businesses open to the public, including the Shiloh Bakery and General Store. They are closed on Sunday and Monday. To the northeast, about 45 minutes away, is Stone Mountain. Absolutely fantastic hiking, it is also an old homestead that has been renovated and is open to the public. To the south, there is Rocky Face Park, where there is hiking and rock climbing. Nearby, is Emerald Hollow Mine, where you can go and find, and keep, precious stones you find in the nearby river. There is also a great disk course course, Highland Hills Disc Golf Course, one of the top 25 in the country. There is fun for all ages. Merlefest, the last weekend of April, is a world class Bluegrass festival, is located right in our town. Be sure to look at the activities section below for additional information.

Treehouses in North Carolina guide

Overview

Forget the makeshift treehouses of yesteryear—treehouse rentals in North Carolina offer modern amenities that make for unforgettable overnight stays. Across the state, campers can go glamping in everything from a treehouse glamping deck in Asheville, with majestic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, to a suspended cocoon in the woods near Boone, to a custom two-story treehouse with a professional-grade kitchen, living room, wood-burning fireplace, and comfy bed in a rare alluvial floodplain forest of the Piedmont. Some come with plush bedding, electricity, and wifi, while others present a more primitive commune with nature. And all are fit for outdoor fun, whether it's stargazing near Grandfather Mountain State Park in Blowing Rock, exploring the biking and hiking trails at W. Kerr Scott Dam and Reservoir near Wilkesboro, wineries in the Yadkin Valley, or canoeing and kayaking at Eno River State Park near Durham. Campers seeking a more spiritual retreat can even stay in a treehouse rental built by the TV show Treehouse Masters, with views of North Carolina's Great Smoky Mountains and access to the many waterfalls in Gorges State Park in the vast Nantahala National Forest.
