1 night at The Quack Shack

We had a wonderful stay at the Quack Shack. Lovely river views. Nick was a kind host and made sure we had everything we needed. The sleeping arrangements were comfy and the place was well maintained. Easy walk from your car to the spot. Weather at night was in the high 40s and we slept comfortably with doors closed, blankets, and warm clothes.

We had such an amazing time at the A frame! Cannot wait to go back! The pups had a blast on the little trail next to camp, and the bed was so comfy

My wife and I stayed in the treehouse for a few days following our wedding. It was the perfect oasis providing us beauty, tranquility, and a unique experience only living in a tree can provide. Every detail was well thought out and much was provided for the treehouse stay, even similar to a hotel. We so loved our time here and look forward to more stays in the future!

Weekend Trip to Cold Spring Basecamp

Such a nice spot!! Campsite 1 is right by the sweetest creek with huge rhododendrons sprawling over! Had a really nice picnic table, and rock fire ring, and hammock! Ground was wood chips and grass! Hiking to the waterfall was fun! So was the cold plunge! Limited hiking, we did all the trails in one morning, but beautiful area! Great signs to let you know where things were, and outhouse was so nice to have!

Camping at Doug’s Southern Sun full roof was amazing! The view is amazing, having a portable bathroom near by and water to shower made it even more amazing! I would definitely camp here again :)

Weekend Trip to Above the Fray Glamping, Black Mtn.

Absolutely gorgeous! We loved our stay. The view was beautiful. The camping deck was solidly constructed and had nice features like the tarps that can be pulled for shade or rain. It is also just a short drive to great restaurants and a grocery store. The port-a-potty was extremely clean. We can’t wait to stay again next year.

4 nights at Above the Fray Glamping, Black Mtn.

This was our second visit to Above the Fray - it was beautiful, and so relaxing! We had a great time! In Black Mountain, there is a coffee shop called The Dripolator- we had a Frappe and a smoothie - the staff was so nice and our drinks were delicious! We tried to do a drive on the Blue Ridge Pkwy but it's still a mess from hurricane Helene. I'm glad the area is recovering, as this is an absolute gem of a vacation destination! We skipped drinking our bottled water because the water Doug provides is better than bottled! We brough an air fryer this year and ate like royalty haha! Our pup had fun, but beware blood sucking ticks - he had six dug in so we went to Ingles and got flea and tick med. It worked perfectly, no more ticks on him. I had one crawling on me, but I am not on tick med lol. Thanks again, Doug for this wonderful vacation destination. We will be back again next year!

Weekend Trip to Stillhouse Creek Cabins

Lovely and peaceful! My partner and I both have *very* different ideas of camping and this spot was the magical blend of both worlds: It was perfect for me (who loves the peace and quiet, waking up to birdsong, relaxing on the patio in the trees, petting farm animals, disconnecting from my phone/society while reading a book or hiking in the woods) and my partner (who loves amenities, wifi, fridge, shower, TV, AC/heat, running water/shower, potable water). We both adored the hammock and the hot tub. We will be back! 💙

Weekend Trip to Above the Fray Glamping, Black Mtn.

Wow, what a unique and beautiful spot. I thoroughly enjoyed my weekend. As a hiker and backpacker, while not exactly roughing it, this was a much needed break from the routine. I was even serenaded by the whippoorwill last night in my hammock before turning in. I will be coming back again! Doug you have a truly amazing place! Respectfully, Dave

Weekend Trip to Cold Spring Basecamp

The cabins were awesome and everything is well maintained. Even though it’s near the highway, you feel secluded. Great owners too!

2 nights at Cold Spring Basecamp

My family had such a great time! We will for sure be going back. The open air cabins were such a cool concept and were so much easier than tent camping. The corn crib does not have any shades or curtains like the others so we felt a little on display when changing. Thankfully, it was not very busy so it wasn't a major deal this time around. We will probably just choose a different cabin next time for that reason.

1 night at Above the Fray Glamping, Black Mtn.

Beautiful setting. Well kept. Private. A nice way to camp/glamp. Would absolutely stay here again if we passed through the area again.

2 nights at Cold Spring Basecamp

The place far exceeded my expectations. Super clean, very peaceful and the camp host Lola was very nice. I highly recommend this place for a quick getaway in nature. Thank you for sharing your little oasis in the woods

Doug supplied water, a private toilet and a portable shower. It was crazy windy during our visit, but the shelter helps to provide some protection. Sad that we missed animal sightings, but enjoyed the song of the wipperwills in the early evenings.

Amazing spot with Amazing views. Would definitely recommend this place.

Weekend Trip to Above the Fray Glamping, Black Mtn.

This place was perfect! We were a group of relatively first time campers, and this was just the place for that. Amazing views, convenient and clean porta potty, and double gates for extra security. The gates also made it perfect for our dog - she had the time of her life! The location was also very convenient. We would definitely visit again!

Above the Fray Glamping, Black Mtn.

6 sites · Lodging11 acres · Black Mountain, NC

The views are hypnotic and look down and out over the continental divide. Good morning sun and sunsets can be seen in 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 roofs are full size, some 2/3rds and some 1/3rd, depending on what one wants for tent size or sun exposure. (See pictures of each site/deck) Each deck has sun and rain curtains for helping keep comfortable in normal weather. Dogs enjoy a two gate system so quests and dogs can 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 weekly. Lights and electrical is 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. Many 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, fickle solar shower and pop up changing room along with an assortment of camping supplies from dog bowls to antimicrobial wipes. 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 a great app for finding trails suited for your interest. Be respectful to the place and please be friendly to the people you meet. Learn more about this land: 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.

The Quack Shack

This site is accessed via a short trail through the trees down a gentle, sloping hill, and finally by a short stairway, and as such it may not be easily accessible for campers with limited mobility. Located on the grounds of the Duckpond Pottery, The Quack Shack is a secluded treehouse perched along the banks of the French Broad River. The structure is an 8x10 A-frame that transforms via a hinged wall into an open-air cabana with a charming deck that affords spectacular views of the French Broad River and surrounding countryside. The interior of the Quack Shack, with its vaulted 11-foot ceiling and earthen plaster walls, provides a warm glow in a rainforest environment. It is furnished with a comfortable seating area surrounding a coffee table that can be easily converted to a full-size queen bed at night. On the outside deck are beach chairs and a chimenea available for use. The quack shack has electric power (1 outlet only). Amenities include a bathroom located a short walk away at the main building as well as an open-air on-demand shower located off the bathroom on a deck overlooking the French Broad River. Morning coffee and tea is available at The Tea Hut located just a hop, skip, and jump from the treehouse. NOTE: The Duckpond Pottery is a working studio pottery and gallery that is open to the public. It is also home to occasional open-air house concerts on the deck at the pottery. The host generally blocks concert dates, however, it is worth double-checking with the host that there will not be a concert if you desire a quieter experience.
