1 night at At the Ridge Camp-Riverside Escapes

Great stay! Flowing water on either side of site. Private and cozy. Great star gazing. Friendly, helpful host!

3 nights at At the Ridge Camp-Riverside Escapes

Great place! Would recommend this place to anyone with dogs. Mine went in and out of the river all weekend, not worried about other people or them wandering too far. He was kind and helped find local hikes, brought fresh apples and cabbage. Will be back 100%

3 nights at At the Ridge Camp-Riverside Escapes

I loved camping so close to the Blue Ridge Parkway. The campsite is well situated between the Parkway and Brevard. The site was very quiet and peaceful with the sound of the river right next to our site. We stayed at site 6. Tom, our host, was very kind and knowledgeable about the area. He gave us great local information about great places to see!

4 nights at At the Ridge Camp-Riverside Escapes

Great spot right on the river! We had a great time at At the Ridge Camp- Riverside Escapes. We are a family of 5 & stayed in cabin #2. It is a rustic camping cabin but was clean, spacious enough for all of us to sleep comfortably & had electricity. The showers were HOT & Tom made sure we had everything needed. They are still rebuilding from Helene but are definitely up & ready for campers! We will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Magical Mountain Resorts

We camped there our last night of a week long camping trip. All the staff was super nice and we even got a tour of some of the cabins, Mary has put so much work into this magical place! Our group had so much fun and even got to meet the adorable goats, horses, donkey, and pigs! Facilities are all very nice and clean. We loved the swings by the stream and the solar powered fairy lights at night!!

Wonderful stay in cabin #2! Host was super helpful with tips on staying warm. It was about 34 degrees and we were very toasty with the 2 space heaters provided. Comfortable beds too!

Weekend Trip to Magical Mountain Resorts

Host and caretakers are very friendly and accommodating. The place is truly magical due to their attention to detail. You can really tell the host put her heart and soul into making a dream become reality!

The LED in the Hot Tub adds a little ambiance - though you'll probably be lost in the view of the stars and the setting sun.

Weekend Trip to Nantahala: Cabins & Campsites

Incredible views from a hot tub. Need I say more? This is the perfect getaway for anyone looking to disconnect from the rest of the world. The charming little cabin is just the right size for a couple or small family. Unbeatable year round views from that hot tub, I mean. You can’t beat it. We can’t wait to come back in the summertime and enjoy it again. Thanks for a wonderful break from our routine. We’ll be back for sure!

1 night at At the Ridge Camp-Riverside Escapes

It was a very pleasant stay. We got there about an hour after sunset and didn't have difficulty finding the property in the dark. Slept well listening to the sound of the river right next to us. I didn't realize that on the other size of the river was a road and we'd also hear cars. We purchased firewood from Carrie, and it was actually $10, not $5 like it mentions on the advertisement. We ended up wanting to get more wood, and that was a bit of a hassle as Carrie isn't actually the one managing the property. There were other people involved in managing the property that we had to communicate with and go find. Ultimately would've been easier to bring our own, but nevertheless we did acquire all the firewood we wanted, albeit all damp. There were some permanent residents on the property in nearby campers, all pleasant. Overall would recommend and may return in the future.

Weekend Trip to At the Ridge Camp-Riverside Escapes

Was a very good trip. 30 minutes from brevard so we spent the day there. Plenty of amenities and was a much better option than sleeping in a tent during cold weather.

Weekend Trip to At the Ridge Camp-Riverside Escapes

Absolutely wonderful stay! We had such an amazing time exploring the area and coming back to a warm cabin. The sound of rushing water was like a natural white noise. Everyone should experience this at least once!

4 nights at Magical Mountain Resorts

An amazing wonderland trip. Such a unique and beautiful campground. The host is super friendly and allowed my children to help feed her animals daily which meant a lot to my son. My children hiked up the mountain daily and saw interesting plants, rocks and a little waterfall. The decor and the vibe is beyond family friendly. I will definitely be back to check out the candyland cabins.

3 nights at Magical Mountain Resorts

We loved camping here in our RV! The animals are amazing and so much fun to play with! The land is beautiful and the whole place is very quiet and peaceful. We can’t wait to go back in the summer and play in the creek.

This is the campground is absolutely amazing! Shannon has obviously put her heart and soul into giving her guest a most magical experience! From the time you pass the 6 ft tall mushrooms at the entrance you will find a clean well kept mix of truly magical themed cabins, a petting zoo with the sweetest mix of lovable animals, an activity/game area with something for everyone. Can’t wait to go back!!!!

I loved the area and cabin we stayed in. It was right on the river and the host was very welcoming and took care of us! I highly recommend this spot for a base camp for all your Pisgah adventures!

Weekend Trip to Magical Mountain Resorts

Y'ALL! If you've never heard of Magical Mountain Resorts, The Enchanted Forest you're thoroughly missing out! Words and pictures can not explain how magical this place is! You can rent Hagrid's cabin, the Harry Potter double Decker bus, two Alice in Wonderland cabins, Snow White's cottage and two Candyland Cottages. Plus RV/Tent sites. The care and effort that Shannon and her people put into this place is absolutely ridiculous! I can't tell you how accommodating these people are. They've really created such a magical place. If you have kids, you HAVE to check this place out! 🍄 🐰 🪄 ✨

Nantahala: Cabins & Campsites

13 sites · Lodging, Tents7 acres · NC

We just retired from Active Duty Air Force! My ancestors have owned the land our NC cabins sit on since 1836. In fact, my mother grew up there after my Grandfather returned from WWII when there was no electricity and the outhouse was a bench over the creek. I grew up hiking the mountains with my brothers and our BB guns and my Uncle Frank at our family reunions. In 2005 he deeded us a parcel of land and we built our first cabin - Smawlie. We love to come to the cabin and Hike the trails on our own property, and of course, the world famous ones that join them, namely the Bartram and the Appalachian Trails. As you explore the lake, the trails, the rivers, and the mountain roads you'll see why our ancestors settled here. In 2018 - we bought the remainder of Uncle Frank's land - and in his honor built our second cabin - Frank's Landing. Also in that year I started managing my brother Bill's cabin. When we were stationed in Alaska for 6 heavenly years - we purchased a remote parcel of property and have slowly begun to develop it. We just completed building our cabin there. Thanks for reading this little tid bit about us. We love to explore the mountains and are excited to share our cabins with you.
