You've been given the key. Come experience 60-acres of private mountain land off the Blue Ridge Parkway with big mountain views, lush Appalachian forest, & our very own waterfall! Inspired by the tale of a young gnome who discovers the power of gratitude in the forest. We bring Hoot Owl Ridge to you with in the same spirit. We are within 15 min of three magnificent waterfalls (Crabtree, Grassy Creek, & Tom's Creek), and only 25 mins from Linville Gorge!
Though we are very secluded in the mountains, Walmart is only 5 mins down the road. Spruce Pine is 10-15 mins and has food, grocery, gas, hospital, and a brewery. Marion is a bigger town with mostly anything you could be looking for and is about 20mins away down the mountain. If you want some city buzz, head to vibrant Asheville under an hour away, where you'll find endless art, restaurants, breweries, live music, and more.
Live closer to the earth, the mountains, the curious creatures, and return home with some gratitude!

For the same price as a campsite, awaken amidst the breathtaking beauty of nature without the hassles of traditional camping! Our accommodation is conveniently located just steps away from the Fonta Flora trail and Lake James, offering a private and pristine retreat while remaining close to all amenities.
If you love the idea of camping but dread the tasks of buying, packing, hauling, and setting everything up, we have the perfect solution for you. Simply unplug and unwind next to the tranquil sounds of the small creek, with the gentle breeze rustling through the trees and the delightful chirping of birds.
Embark on adventures right from your doorstep - hike the scenic trail, enjoy a leisurely picnic at the beach, paddle through picturesque coves, roast marshmallows over a crackling fire, gaze up at the star-studded sky, and cherish quality time with family.
Experience the joys of camping without the stress, and make unforgettable memories surrounded by the wonders of nature.
Things to know: Parking is a 3 min walk down the trail from the Yurt and is along the road. When there has been a lot of rain the trail can be slick in some places. I don't spray insecticide around or under the Yurt to avoid toxins in the creek and lake. There is wildlife and bugs in the area, frogs, fox, otter, raccoons, deer, snakes, mosquitos, fireflies, ants and spiders. It is a canvas tent and it is camping, it is on a wood deck that does have small space between the boards. It does have a fan to help with ventilation, during humid months it can feel stuffy if the windows are closed. July and August are usually the buggiest (spiders) and most humid.
Check out pictures and their captions for more details on the lake access and amenities in the campsite.

Welcome to the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina! At approximately 3,455 feet elevation we enjoy mountain breezes all summer
PLEASE DO NOT ‘photo book’!
We ask guests to please read through the details BEFORE booking a site. For example: not all tent sites are park at sites. Some of our more secluded sites in the woods are far from bathrooms etc. Sites near the winery/bathrooms are not secluded and you can see/hear ‘people’.
As of Jan 2025 we change to an age 13+ campground. No one under the age of thirteen years old is permitted to camp overnight. Younger children will still be permitted to visit the winery next door to the campground during open hours but must have an adult (18 years plus) with them at ALL times! Due to an incident that could have ended in tragedy we have a zero tolerance policy of unsupervised children. You will be asked to leave if your young child is unattended by an adult.
During the summer months we often have free range chicken eggs and organic produce and herbs available for our campers. We are next to our own winery/cidery that features home brew wines and beer. We also offer sodas. Firewood is for sale. You may bring your own firewood as long as it’s not from out of state.
We have a few primitive sites in our woods for those who love more seclusion and places to hang hammocks.
We offer Hiking/jogging trails at the campground with more trails on the nearby blue ridge parkway. We are just a 5 minute drive to downtown Little Switzerland. We are also only a 5 minutes drive to the famous Diamondback scenic mountain road. Approximately 20 minutes drive to Crabtree Falls on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Our cantina next door at 539 blue ridge gem mine road is open for the season and serving home brew beers and small batch ciders for ages 21 and older. Photo ID required. Sodas available for purchase as well. We now have a well lit covered porch area and club house with free WiFi and available 24 hours to our campers.
Note: absolutely no outside alcohol or underage alcohol consumption permitted on premises. Anyone not in compliance with North Carolina state laws and federal laws will be evicted from campgrounds without refunds. If the campgrounds happen to be under a burn ban please understand that we can’t and will not break the law for you! All campers must obey the burn ban if in effect or face possible penalties under state law! This is for your own safety as well. Anything sold by us may be legally consumed at your campsite and is covered under our winery ABC permit.
Camp host can’t go to bed until all campers are checked in so no late night arrivals please! Thank you for your understanding.
Adult horseback trail rides are available at nearby Springmaid Mountain Retreat. Maps provided to Springmaid Mountain. All minors must have ADULT supervision at all times at the winery next door (older siblings do not qualify as adult supervision). If we are babysitting your children to keep them out of danger or from damaging our property you’ll be asked to leave. We want everyone to be safe.
Up to 2 dogs are allowed per campsite. Dogs Must remain on leash at all times and have proof of up to date rabies vaccination. We have chickens and horses on our mini farm so please keep dogs under control at all times. Also, please do not feed our chickens, horses or any of the wildlife on our property.
It is the responsibility of our campers to check the weather conditions, noting any burn bans for the area or rain etc, looking at all the rules and property details, before booking is the campers responsibility. Please do not blame the host! HipCamp now offers rainy day insurance
Watch for our special events like ghost story campfire tales/walk with local guest authors, mountain yoga, herbal remedies classes, trail treasure hunts with prizes, mushroom identification classes etc.
Additional parking is available for added cars in the guest parking lot area if campers have no more room at their campsite for visitors or any extra cars.
We have a hot/cold shower and modern style flush toilets available in large cargo container. We also now have free Starlink WiFi in the Cantina/clubhouse area and some of the closer tent sites. Our clubhouse stays open for campers 24/7 with a microwave available, games, television and comfortable seating areas.
Note: The quarter mile of gravel drive is steep but I drive my two wheel drive car up and down it every day. However, if you have a vehicle that chugs and struggles up hills (older RV etc) you may find it a challenge. We are working on getting that section paved to help out the older RVs and buses.
Note:
The gray building and pond area is NOT our property. Do not wander around our neighbors pond /barn area. Thank you!
All campers are expected to read and follow the HipCamp guidelines. This is not just a ‘business’, it is also a family home that we are graciously sharing with you for a small fee so we expect campers to respectful of our land, our neighbors and your fellow campers. Anyone who can’t show integrity, maturity and be responsible and respectful of this will be asked to leave and/or permanently banned from both the winery and our campgrounds. No fighting! This includes couples fighting. Settle it 'off property'. We are pretty mellow, yet take bad behavior and disrespect for others very seriously. Unsupervised children has been a huge problem lately and we simply won’t tolerate very young children wandering the woods, running across other folks campsites, deliberately damaging our property etc. It is up to the parents to fully supervise their children and keep them safe!
Caught without a last minute hotel room and rather not park your family in Walmart lot? We offer car camping in our parking lot for $15.00 a night. You’ll have access to bathrooms and a hot shower! We also have tents, sleeping bags and camping mats for rent.
Summer of 2025 will be our third year open and there have been many wonderful improvements! ❤️ We made it through Hurricane Helene with minimal damage and with the help of some kind volunteers we have some great updates!

Bald Eagles have been seen on April 27th, 2026! The views are hypnotic, looking down and out over the continental divide. Good morning, and sunsets can be seen from 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 are two-thirds, and some are one-third, depending on what one wants for tent size or sun exposure. (See pictures of each site/deck) Each deck features sun and rain curtains to help keep you comfortable in both sunny and rainy weather. Dogs enjoy a two-gate system that allows guests and dogs to 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 frequently. Lights and electrical outlets are 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. PMany 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, a fickle solar shower, and a pop-up changing room, along with an assortment of camping supplies from dog bowls to antimicrobial. 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 an excellent app for finding trails suited for your interests. Be respectful, please.
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.

Get away from the crowds. On 300 beautiful acres once operated as a children's summer adventure camp.. There are 3 primitive campsites, 2 cottages, and a horse sanctuary. The campsites are spaced out around the property for privacy. There are port-a-potties. There may occasionally be a real bathroom available.
4WD or AWD is recommended for all sites due to 1/2 mile gravel road and then completely off road for a short distance. Or, if you are bringing 2WD, there is plenty of parking and then walk to your campsite. We don't recommend trying to bring large RV's due to the access.
We have not had a problem with Black Bears on the property. Help us keep it that way. Do not store or keep food in your tent. Don't sleep with food. Keep in mind bears are omnivores much like us. They eat mostly plants but also eat meat. For more info on bear safety, visit www.bearwise.org
Winter camping is encouraged with free firewood. However, you will probably need to park on the gravel and walk to your campsite to limit soil erosion of the off-road trail.
Pets are welcome only at some sites, but please please let us know you are bringing them and they will need to be leashed due to other animals.
A large part of the property is forest with hiking trails, creeks, and wildlife. You can see wildflowers and lightning bugs in season along with deer, turkey, and horses.
And all of our spots have a great view of the sky! We're not far from the Bare Dark Sky Observatory.
The grass horse arena and the pond were originally built for the summer camp. The pond is stocked with bass and bluegill and has a chorus of bullfrogs in summer. The arena is flat and has a long range mountain view all the way to Mt. Mitchell (highest peak east of the Mississippi). There are also a meadow spot encircled by trees.

My property consists of a ridge running east to west with the access road running along the south border. the land slopes up to the ridge for about 300 feet, and then down to the river for about 800 feet. The south side of the ridge has a small pond close to the road. The rest is pasture, and an orchard and small vineyard. The north side of the ridge is old growth timber, and shady and cool. The two cabins are along the river. One is perched on a ridge over looking the river and the other is right on the river. The swimming hole is 30 feet from the lower cabin. There is room for a couple campsites along the river also. The south side of the ridge was a cotton farm decades ago, but was covered in timber when I bought it 12 years ago. The north side has been in timber for the known history of the property.

This is a unique getaway spot for those traveling with an RV or camper. Please note that tent camping is currently not permitted unless accompanied by an RV, as there are no restroom facilities on-site.

Cabin and/or camping spots on a large wooded farm. Secluded, yet only a short drive to Asheville, Black Mountain, Lake Lure, waterfalls and hikes! There are so many fun places to explore whether you are coming to eat and drink or hike, bike or climb.
Cabin is located on our 12 acre farm, with 2 full hookup camper spots in the woods behind it.
Take an afternoon walk down through the pasture and sit by the creek. Don't mind the chickens that may walk up and ask for a treat. And the pigs may be shy at first, but they warm up fast if you share with them.
Build a fire at night, and sit under the stars as you listen to the nocturnal sounds of Appalachia.
This tranquil farm stay is made even more revitalizing by the mist on the mountains in the morning as you enjoy coffee from the porch or your campsite.

Waldhaus Resort is a special place surrounded by the Pisgah National Forrest. Pure nature close to a thriving metropolitan area. We offer the Sawmill and the Summit!I have been an engineer, corporate executive and world traveler all my life. Born and raised in Switzerland I speak German, French, English and a little Spanish. My passion is the outdoors, hunting, fishing and cooking . My other calling is to entertain people which share the same passions. That’s why I created the Waldhaus resort.During the past years, the Sawmill has become my favorite place to spend quality time in what I call "Cabin Living" which I love so much. Nearly every day there is a small challenge, nothing comes easy, but all the coziness and comfort is there. The water is supplied by a spring above the mill. Electricity is generated by solar technology and a generator. All refrigeration and cooking appliances are propane; and so is the basic heat (propane again) - and a very old Jotul wood stove will do the rest. I sleep a lot on the day bed in the living room so the Sawmill can be comfortably rented for up to 4 guests. The outhouse is a thing of the past, just recently I installed a compositing toilet besides the bedroom.We also offer The Summit which is a high elevation, 2-story cabin surrounded by national forest which has evolved into an off-grid living and play space located at nearly 3300 feet elevation on a 1/2 acre flat with an incredible view. There are very private old forest service trails leading directly into the Pisgah National Forest.

Weekend Trip to Soulshine Glamping
Staying at the Moonshine dome was amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub after the hiking event I was in town for. The peacefulness of the surrounding scenery was everything one could hope for. The rain didn’t allow me to enjoy the fire table, but I love that touch for a quiet night on the patio. The inside was absolutely cozy and beautiful. I felt right at home and if Hipcamp would allow extensions and if it was available I would have easily extended another night.

4 nights at Outercamp, Blue Ridge Falls Retreat
Staying at the yurt was the best week I’ve had in a long time. So peaceful and beautiful, the yurt was lovely and cozy and immediately felt like home. I loved being immersed in nature everyday but still having a very comfortable bed. Hiking the trails on the property and sitting by the waterfall and creek were so restorative. It is a true restful haven in nature.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Starlite Hills! Beautiful view from our site MTG3. The site was relatively flat and perfect for our kids to gather twigs for the fire and for our dog to hang out and not get her leash wrapped around trees. Plenty of good spots for our hammocks as well! Will was very responsive and helpful upon arrival. Overall the campground was very quiet and family friendly! We plan to return soon! Thanks Will!!

Our family loved our stay, we stayed in mtg 1, loved that the playground was nearby, beautiful ridge views, bed was pretty comfortable even when it poured at night we stayed warm and dry. Only issues for us was that the tent was a bit moldy and had a strong mildew smell. Also, the sites don’t have a water spigot so we had to drive down a few times a day to get water to cook and to do dishes. There was also a wasp nest near the site and the children got stung by wasps but the host said he will take care of it. Overall we had a great experience, I think the domes are probably a bit more spacious for bigger families like us

We really enjoyed our time on the property. Normally when we come to Pisgah we backpack camp, but this time we wanted something a little more cozy. It was the perfect amount of camping with a touch of comfort. Our dogs had so much fun as well. One of my favorite things was being able to catch the sunrise just a quick morning hike up the driveway.

We absolutely loved our stay here! We came for my daughter’s 7th birthday, and it ended up being exactly the kind of experience I was hoping to give her and her brother.
The property is beautiful, peaceful, and tucked away enough that you genuinely feel like you’re getting away from everything. The dome itself was awesome and made camping with kids feel like an adventure without giving up all the comforts that make a trip enjoyable. Everything was well thought out, and the outdoor area was just as much fun as the dome. The kids especially loved the hammocks and having room to explore, play, and just enjoy being outside.
What I probably appreciated most was seeing how excited the kids were about the whole experience. Sometimes you plan a birthday trip hoping the kids will remember it, and this is definitely one of those trips I think they will. We were able to cook, hang out together, enjoy the property, and slow down for a little while without needing a bunch of other entertainment.
The pictures really don't capture how neat the setting is once you're actually there. It felt private, relaxing, and genuinely different from just staying in a hotel or regular cabin.
William has created a really special place, and I would absolutely recommend it to families, couples, or anyone wanting a unique little getaway. We made some great memories here and would happily come back again.

The Hilltop Safari Tent was exactly what we needed for a secluded weekend away with the dog. The tent itself has a ton of helpful things in it like a table big enough for 4 people to sit and eat, a fan, a keurig, and a generator to plug things into. We enjoyed sitting by the fire at night and walked around the campsite during the day. It is very private and away from the other campsites. So if that's your speed, this is right up your alley. The clearing in front of the Safari tent is big enough for more tents and more vehicles. We spoke a lot about how nice it would be to have friends stay with us at that campsite.
Down the hill theres a portajon and to get to the bathhouse it's a walk. The bathhouse is very nice and clean.
You will have to cross a creek in your vehicle to get to this stay, so be mindful about the vehicle you intend on using.
Blair made it easy to access the campground and the site. Even in the dark we were able to find our site.

We had an excellent stay! It was the perfect mountain get away for a couple and their fur baby! The bed was spacious, comfy, and clean! The little kitchen was perfect to make a little breakfast of eggs and bacon and the firepit was easy and fun to make hot dogs and smores on! Although small, the bathroom was great with a hot and strong water pressure! The front porch is so serene and an absolute vibe! A perfect spot for a weekend get away for a single or couple!

Weekend Trip to Above the Fray Glamping, Black Mtn.
We absolutely enjoyed our time at Above the Fray. The shelter was perfect and easy to find. Town was easily accessible and very close to get supplies or dinner. The views were unmatched and it was a perfect place for a quiet weekend getaway with our dog. We hope to return.
