Stories from the community

7 nights at Appalachian Pond Campground

We loved the view if the pond from the front door of our pop up. The hosts were so nice, helpful and brought wood to our camp anytime we asked. The porta potty was clean and dumped weekly, showers were hot and we appreciated the dish cleaning area. We enjoyed meeting other campers but everyone had plenty of privacy at their camps. It was tricky getting our pop up level at rv site 1. The rocks were a bit big to park and walk on. Would have preferred smaller gravel. Other than that, we loved it, would love to return and recommend it to other travelers.

Weekend Trip to Campgrounds at Little Switzerland

Awesome hosts and beautiful campground. Host had lots of little things handy in case you forgot something. Looked like a mountain garden! Would definitely recommend.

Weekend Trip to Appalachian Pond Campground

We loved our time at campsite 10! Great communication & directions were perfect. I was able to reach the campsite with my car, which doesn't have great ground clearance. We had our two golden retrievers with us and it was the perfect spot. The stream was just a trickle and that was fine. There's a porta-potty nearby and a water spigot right there. They combined sites 10 and 11, so there was plenty of room to stretch the pups, throw the ball, and have a good time.

2 nights at Appalachian Pond Campground

The trailer was very clean and cute! the fridge was cold and the linens were clean and comfortable, atmosphere was super cute, they stock lots of supplies for you for cooking, overall great stay.

1 night at Appalachian Pond Campground

Easy communication with camp host. 😎 My husband fished the pond (when a kid wasn’t having time of his life cannon balling) and caught a 2 pound Bass. Site 5 is 4 wheel drive to get up to the area and its smaller but more private than other sites. Nice spot overall✨

Weekend Trip to Appalachian Pond Campground

Very accommodating, had a wonderful weekend. Nice quiet place.

4 nights at Outercamp, Blue Ridge Falls Retreat

I recently stayed at Geri’s Creekside Yurt, it was such a magical experience. The yurt was super private and secluded, with the creek just about 20 feet away. The walkway to the yurt was also really accessible, almost stroller-friendly, compared to other areas that had more steps. Inside, they provided both a fan and heating, making it comfortable no matter the weather. There were also plenty of board games, books, and other games for entertainment. They had so much thought into all of the essentials provided we almost felt we overpacked! The attention to detail was amazing. Everything was thoughtfully labeled, making it easy to find your way around. Even the outhouse, which I was initially worried about, turned out to be no issue at all. The interior design was also so warming and beautiful to enjoy, even the linens and towels were thoughtfully chosen. Overall, it’s clear that so much thought and care went into creating this peaceful space, highly recommend this beautiful retreat :)

Weekend Trip to Cold Spring Basecamp

The instructions and check-in was really easy and the signage made everything easy to find. My only complaint was that it happened to be one of the hottest and humid weekends of the year. Actually though, in the shade with the small portable fan I'm glad I remembered to bring, it wasn't too bad. The cold plunge was a great way to cool off, though.

Weekend Trip to Broken Oak Riverside Getaway

The land was beautiful , creek was perfect everything you could’ve asked for . Thankful for the peace of mind at night . Great hospitality , I’d recommend it to any campers !

1 night at Appalachian Pond Campground

they were amazing. My daughter wandered off in the middle of the Night They brought her back to me and I can’t thank you enough. Truly they saved my daughter‘s life!

1 night at Peace Of Pisgah

Camping at Peace of Pisgah was a great experience! Vikki was a great host . The property was clean and very well laid out. I would definitely camp here again!

4 nights at Campgrounds at Little Switzerland

Tent camping at the Obsidian site was magical! We loved the privacy that all the plants and trees gave. Chrissy was very helpful- providing some tent stakes that I forgot to bring and being responsive during our stay. The land was so peaceful and the kids loved the horses and chickens. Highly recommend!

3 nights at DuPont Bike Retreat

Todd was a great host, very friendly and helpful. We loved having the bathroom/ shower. Absolutely beautiful scenery. Hot tub was another perfect addition. We will be back.

3 nights at Peace Of Pisgah

Peace of Pisgah was a perfect weekend getaway spot! The campsite itself is so cute and cozy. The queen size bed in the tent was so comfortable, we woke up each morning feeling so refreshed! The communal area was a nice touch with a sink, small fridge, and plugs incase you need to charge anything. The shower was also stocked with all of the things you needed! The location is perfect if you wanted to spend a day in downtown brevard, or spend the day in pisgah national forest :) Only thing to note is that it is next to the main road, so if you’re a light sleeper be prepared for car noise! All in all I give Vikki’s spot a 10/10 and will most definitely be back soon! ❤️

3 nights at Campgrounds at Little Switzerland

This is a very sweet Hipcamp location. The hosts are very welcoming and accommodating and we loved having the cidery/brewery onsite. We tasted most of them and there were a couple we especially enjoyed. The clubhouse has a bathroom with a shower and some supplies if needed. They also sell eggs from their onsite chickens and ice cream. The hosts have a lovely garden and even some horses to pet. We walked the trails on the property and while not extensive, it did provide some forest bathing. If you are a light sleeper, you may be impacted by the noise of coyotes/dogs at night and the morning rooster. The road in is steep so expect to use your 4 wheel drive.

Weekend Trip to The Confluence

We had a great time and loved the water and huge space.

6 nights at Broken Oak Riverside Getaway

We absolutely loved this camp space! It was perfect for our family. Our kids loved catching rainbow trout - it was nice and shaded and the host was awesome enough to leave us a canopy that helped with the heat a lot. Perfect for our dog as well who had plenty of space to wonder around at our camp site

3 nights at At the Ridge Camp-Riverside Escapes

The cabin was cozy and perfectly nestled right on the river—just steps from the water. Loved listening to the sound of the current, watching the campfire flames, and waking up to birdsong. Great spot for a relaxing weekend, unplugging (literally), and enjoying nature. The various hosts and helpers were friendly and ready to assist. It's not fancy, but exactly what is needed at a great value. When you normally tent camp, carcamp/boondock, hike/backpack, it's all an upgrade!! This was my 3rd visit and will definitely be back! Only couple things to note, that some might want to know beforehand: there are 1 or 2 'resident RVs' other than the campground host in the campground and some (hunting?) dogs across the river/road that bark occasionally.

3 nights at Campgrounds at Little Switzerland

We were treated like family. The bathrooms were so clean and our campsite was private and landscaped with ornamental grasses and flowers. I highly recommend this campground.

Weekend Trip to TangleWood Creekside Campsites

Absolutely amazing place. Incredibly clean. Super easy check in and zero hassle. Will be back many times in the future!

Raven Ridge

2 sites · Lodging5 acres · Marshall, NC

Raven ridge is a 5.0 acre property with plenty of botanical appeal, Appalachian charm and mountain views. James landed on the property in 2009, built a small dairy barn and milked 3 cows for a couple years before building the two cabins. In 2015 he was joined by Sofi, originally from Sweden and together they have three daughters. Together they manage a botanically interesting hobby hill farm and are happy to host travelers and seekers in their cabins. Hilltop was a joint project that James built in 2012 with a talented woodworker and friend in 6 months. We have maintained the original vibe of the place, rustic simplicity and elegance a notch or two above glamping, well-described by the zen koan, "chop wood, carry water" Orchard House was built entirely by James from the block up to the roof, averaging 1 hour/day for 3 years or 1,000 hours. Some of the Hilltop photos are a bit dated, we have a more private outhouse behind the cabin, and have made a few improvements here and there. Reach out anytime for any reason. We love hosting and nearly everyone enjoys their stay.
