Where to go

Pisgah National Forest

Trek through the tree-covered trails, whitewater rivers, and epic waterfalls of Pisgah National Forest. An hour east of Wilkesboro, Pisgah is home to campgrounds, cabin rentals, horse-friendly campsites, and dispersed camping districts. Some areas include full hookups, restrooms with showers, dump stations, and drinking water. Or, make it a day trip and enjoy fishing, picnics, or a scenic drive through this unforgettable 500,000-acre forest in the southern Appalachian Mountains.

Grandfather Mountain State Park

Gather up the climbing gear and head an hour east of Wilkesboro to Grandfather Mountain State Park. The rugged terrain and severe weather offer a challenge of cliffs, cables, and climbing ladders for hikers and climbers in breathtaking biodiversity. Recognized as part of the United Nation’s International Network of Biosphere Reserves, Grandfather Mountain provides a home to 16 ecological communities and 72 rare or endangered species. Free permits are required for hikers who want to explore the park and must be filled out at the trailhead. Campers can spend the night on-site, though it’s only open to backpackers who want tent or group campsites.

W. Kerr Scott Dam & Reservoir

Live like a local at the W. Kerr Scott Dam & Reservoir. Located in Wilkesboro at the end of the Yadkin River Greenway, the Kerr Scott Reservoir offers campgrounds, tent campsites, RV hookups, and day-use areas around the water. Known for boating, fishing, and watersports, campers can bring their boats and ride the reservoir in style or explore the history and culture of the dam. Built-in boat launches make it easy for kayaks and canoes to enter from one of the waterfront parks or beaches.

When to go

While Wilkesboro camping is available year-round, there are variations in the seasonal temperatures and available activities. Summers are hot and humid, reaching average highs near 90°F.
