1 night at Starlight Hills

Starlight is a remote gem. There had been rain so it was a bit muddy, but a very unique camp ground. The Spa was a delight. Hot tub and sauna under the stars. I really enjoyed the relaxation. Tent camping a small trailers would be best when using the smaller camp sites. There are unique circular tents on platforms available as well as a beautiful overlook spot with hammocks. Great for group camping!

Everything was well maintained and clean. Tent site 6 was nice and secluded. Great view from the grill area.

The place was as advertised. It was peaceful and the host provided everything that was needed. I will definitely stay again when back in the area!

1 night at Starlight Hills

The place was beautiful and the view was amazing. We were there on a Sunday night and had the whole place to ourselves with no other guests. The hammocks were great and the hiking trail was super fun to do with my dog and my 6 year old.

Great place to camp! The property is fun to explore with stations for dishes and drinking water. There are some nice trails to walk and a great overlook of the valley and mountains with hammocks, picnic tables, and a BBQ. I met William on checkin and he was very polite and personable. Would definitely recommend this!

Weekend Trip to Starlight Hills

This is the perfect blend of comfort (real bed and pillows, tent setup done) and rustic camping (portapotties and water pumps). We enjoyed the site with a new, clean picnic table and large fire pit. The fairy lights around the site were a great touch. The Spa is a cute little private area with a fabulous and quiet hot tub and dry sauna. It was a little chilly that night but they have an outdoor fire stand which was perfect. The only negative is the ties to secure the tent are right at the entrance to the tent, so it was a minor bending wiggle to get in and out of the tent.

This was a perfect spot for our needs. I went camping with my 3 year old daughter. Great view of the sky, which was perfect for the lunar eclipse. Tons of available firewood near the campsite.

1 night at Starlight Hills

Absolutely loved it. Super clean. Perfect place to BBQ with a great view of the forest and mountains. Campfire looked amazing under a clear night sky. Indoor tent heater that kept us warm all night. Convenient store within a 3 minute in case you need some essentials. You really feel out in the middle of nowhere which makes it even better. Hopefully i can visit again this summer.

It was a great new campground with much potential. The showers, very breezy but other then att it was amazing. Views are spectacular.

2 nights at Starlight Hills

This campground is so great! There were picnic tables everywhere including site 6 and two awesome trails to check out that weren’t too long! The overview of the mountains was perfect and the showers were dreamy. The host responded quickly and was very helpful, 10/10 experience.

2 nights at Private Yurt with Woodstove & Creek

I had a fantastic time camping in the yurt! It was spacious with two comfortable cots, and the wood heater added a cozy, authentic touch to the experience. The location was easy to find and access, making it hassle-free to settle in. The bathroom was clean and well-maintained, which was a nice bonus. I loved the little creek in front of the yurt—it was so peaceful hearing the water all day. The shed with EcoFlow generators was a thoughtful touch, providing a small charger for the yurt. Being completely unplugged with no service was refreshing! My dog had a blast, too. Highly recommend this place for a relaxing and immersive camping experience!

Weekend Trip to Starlight Hills

Great quiet location for tent camping. The stars seem brighter here! The Owner was very welcoming and friendly. He even extended the spa time for us, which we really enjoyed. It was very relaxing. I would definitely recommend the spa. Camping sites were nice and clean. Easy to navigate the property with clear signs of where to go. There's no getting lost here. Showers definitely came in handy with running hot water! Certain camping areas had great views, the BBQ location which was closest to us was walking distance. They have picnic tables there along with some hammocks already there. It's very peaceful and relaxing here. My wife and I will definitely be back soon! Our overall experience, 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

Weekend Trip to Starlight Hills

We stayed in one of the tent sites right beside their beautiful overlook. There was a couple picnic tables, there and hammocks so you could sit back relax and enjoy the view. We also got a couple hours at their spa. The sauna and hot tub were perfect For that cool night. Just laying back relaxing looking at the stars. I would highly recommend this campground to anybody who is looking for some peace and relaxation.

Welcome to our magical farm and forest retreat — a glamping getaway where nature and agriculture live side by side. Nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains between Asheville and Great Smoky Mountains National Park, our site offers the perfect balance of wild beauty and working-farm charm. Wake up to birdsong and mountain air, but don’t be surprised if you also hear the baa of a sheep or catch a whiff of compost or fresh hay. This is a real farm, after all — complete with horses, mini cows, mini sheep, chickens, turkeys, peafowl, emus livestock guardian dogs, and a cat. We grow, forage, and graze much of what we live on, and we love sharing that experience with guests who appreciate the rhythms of the land.
