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.

Nicely maintained facilities and very friendly hosts. We're already planning our next trip up. We loved being close enough to ski at Sugar Mountain.

Weekend Trip to GlampVentures- @ Nolichucky River

We ended up staying in Lady A, & had such a great time. The property was secluded & comfortable. We stayed warm & cozy both nights.

2 nights at The Coziest Cabin on Earth!

This adorable little cabin was everything my fiancée and I wanted for a peaceful weekend getaway. The location feels very secluded and the cabin is surrounded by beautiful woods. So quiet and peaceful, we heard zero traffic noise. Our dogs absolutely loved being able to be off leash, and there are several little trails that were a blast to explore. The cabin was very comfortable and was equipped with everything we needed. Host was very helpful and responsive, we definitely would love to come back sometime in the future!

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!

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 Rooster Ridge Cabin

We loved the cabin and hot tub! The cabin was also very well stocked with a few odds and ends in the kitchen like salt and pepper, olive oil, etc. It was so homey and lovely! Thanks to our hosts!!

Weekend Trip to The Coziest Cabin on Earth!

The cabin was so clean and cozy, well stocked with everything I needed. There are so many great little touches that make it extra homey. I loved watching the stars and enjoying the nighttime quiet, and exploring the woods by day. It was a really delightful escape and I would recommend to anyone who wants to get away but still wants some of the comforts of home.

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.

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!

Weekend Trip to Plumtree Campground Tents & Cabins

This was our second time staying at plumtree and both times were great experiences. The camp hosts are super sweet and very helpful. They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. I heard from others staying there that they opened their property to people who were displaced by Helene free or charge. The place is very affordable and is a true gem off the beaten path. We will definitely be back.
