Well maintained and easy to find spot with directions provided by host. Campsite is also extremely close to many different activities and stores/gas stations. The street noise and light pollution are definitely a huge downside if are looking for a peaceful campsite in the woods or the chance to see any stars. I woke up multiple different times during the night su

We loved tent camping on Ashley's land! He was very hospitable and kind. We loved hearing about all the animals and things he was doing with his time. We were right by the creek, so at night it was very soothing. Our children loved playing and throwing the ball with Ashley's dogs. It was our first time camping, so we didn't know what to expect but it was one of the best experiences yet and there was even a shower! We can't wait to go back! Thanks for the great time guys!

Danny was super nice. He helped us settle and gave recommendations for the local area that we were able to use. The location is close to the downtown area of the small town and not too far from things to do. The site itself was very clean and level and well taken care of and right on the water. It's a little difficult to get down to the stream but it's beautiful nonetheless. A great place to stay awhile.

Michael’s Hipcamp was perfect for our weekend of hiking in the Smokies. We had a beautiful spot to put our tent with plenty of privacy. The fire ring was great for our needs, and we loved the thoughtfulness of the grill, even though we didn’t use it. I’m always happy when there is a picnic table at a tent site, so having one was definitely a bonus:). We did hear traffic because it is close to the highway, but it didn’t bother us. (Also, it doesn’t “feel” like you are close to the highway.) Overall, this was a very good Hipcamp experience and we recommend!!

A++! Beth called me not long after I booked; ensured I was squared away on where to find them and position myself on their property. Even messaged me a bit later with a couple recommendations on good local coffee spots! Great spot near Brevard, whether you only need a "park-up" for a night like I did, or have a modest rig and benefit from being plugged in for a couple days.

Beth and Rob were awesome Hosts, and they have an amazing property! I car/tent camped at Site 5 for 3 nights. My favorite thing to do was sitting on my "lawn", reading a good book, and listening to the creek. So relaxing. Four of the Dispersed Sites on the level below were filled on the weekend. The entire place was still nice and quiet.
The outdoor shower was wonderful, and the Port-a-Potty was clean and serviced weekly.
My Granddaughter is a Freshman at Brevard College, and Trails & Tails Waterfall HipCamp will be my home away from home when I visit! 😊

Great space for camping! It is right off the road so there is some traffic noise but the stars were incredible!

I stayed for three nights while visiting nearby family and needed a peaceful place to pitch my tent. (I actually prefer sleeping on the ground when traveling alone.) I was so fortunate to have chosen this spot over all the other possibilities!
I stayed at the “A” site — super quiet to the point that I didn’t even need my earplugs. There were a few other campers, but they were hardly noticeable, and there was no nearby traffic noise at all. The running brook next to the tent site added a peaceful, relaxing background sound that made my stay even better.
My hosts were warm and attentive, making sure I had everything I needed. I could tell they were truly in touch with Mother Earth and cared for the land in a thoughtful way.
I’m already looking forward to coming back with my partner to explore more of the hiking and biking opportunities in this beautiful area.

Great spot to camp. Very private but also accessible to Brevard and Pisgah and Dupont forests, among everything else in the area. Finn and I appreciated how dog-friendly the site was.
Beth was so helpful for recommendations on hiking, dog-friendly dining, etc.

Tent camping for 2 nights. Great elevated spot, perfect for telescoping the night sky (amateur tip: the wee pre-dawn hours are best). Site is conveniently located to all the area has to offer with plenty of space to camp or glamp. Michael was a great host as well. Site was very well groomed and comfortable. My son and I had a great time!

Trails & Tails Waterfalls Retreat is the kind of campsite you hesitate to rave about only because you want to keep it a secret. Beth and Rob are the heartbeat of this place, thoughtful, responsive, and genuinely invested in every guest having an easy, memorable stay. Their love for dogs isn’t just a “pet-friendly” checkbox; it’s woven into the whole experience. From the warm welcome to the way they check in without hovering, you feel cared for, like staying with friends who just happen to run an impeccably kept campground.
Location-wise, you can’t beat it. You’re tucked into a quiet, woodsy nook with a small babbling brook setting the soundtrack, yet you’re close to everything in the Brevard and Mills River area—trails, waterfalls, food, and gear shops are all an easy drive. It’s the perfect basecamp: peaceful when you’re here, convenient when you’re out.
If you’re in a van or towing a small travel trailer, the upper Sites 4 and 5 are money—easy to settle into, nicely situated, and especially well-suited for compact rigs. The whole property feels calm and homey, with just the right balance of privacy and community.
Bottom line: stellar hosts, a dog-loving vibe done right, and a quiet, cozy setting close to everywhere you want to be. We’ll absolutely be back.
Kenzi and Kris!

I loved camping here! My friends and I spent a couple of nights here and had an awesome time. The owner Ashley was so kind. He also had 6 super sweet dogs who would come visit us daily.

Beth and her husband were incredibly welcoming to my family and me, and their property was the perfect spot for our camping trip. The site offered plenty of privacy, and our boys and dogs had an amazing time playing in the field and stream. Beth was so kind to our kids (ages 5 and 7) and shared wonderful suggestions for local activities. It truly felt like being welcomed home. We’ll definitely be returning!

It is a beautiful spot next to a creek. We woke up to ducks in the morning feeding and playing, and got to fall asleep to the running water at night. There were plenty of other campers - everyone was friendly and Ashely was an extremely helpful host. He is very present, and brings a great vibe. The bathrooms were almost always accessible, even with plenty of people there. The land was so unique. It is located perfectly close to Asheville and BMT - the drive was scenic and easy. Our one complaint (I say lightheartedly because it was truly no matter to us) was the wifi did not reach our camping spot. We figured this was the universe telling us to logout for awhile anyways(: It was a lovely stay and we plan to come back with friends and family in the future.
