The views are hypnotic, looking down and out over the continental divide. Good morning, and sunsets can be seen from the same spot.

Some roofs are full size, 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 normal weather conditions.

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.

I had a great experience. It was clean, accessible, easy to locate, and safe. I had informed Doug that I would be arriving at night and they had the lights on for me when I arrived, which I greatly appreciated. The view was beautiful, the electrical outlets and rain flies were very helpful and the portopotty very clean. Doug was very responsive to any questions I had as well. I would stay there again and highly recommend.

Wonderful views at a very nice location! Treehouse Lane is very well set up with electricity and the cleanest outdoor potty that I have ever seen. Plenty of water and the covered area offers plenty of space for cooking & sitting around lounging during the day. We set up our tents on either side at the front facing each other & used the center covered area to sit and eat of lay in the hammock and enjoy the spectacular views!

This was a beautiful weekend to spend above the fray! When we arrived water was plentiful and the port-a-John was one of the cleanest. One of my lifetime friends I’ve known since high school had his first camping experience and loved it! Our first night we saw the most beautiful sunset over the mountains and fall foliage did not disappoint. It was magical and breathtaking! Next day we enjoyed the blue ridge parkway and enjoyed a hike at craggy gardens. I have two tents on the larger side but both fit well and we were still able to hang hammocks and have some common space. I hope to be back again soon! Thank you for sharing your beautiful, peaceful, little bit o heaven!

Camping at Doug’s place was great! We brought a 14x10 tent and it fit perfectly with plenty of room to use the table and chairs. We drove a rear wheel drive sedan and made it up the gravel road just fine so don’t be intimidated! The town of Black Mountain is super close by with plenty of shops/food and you’re in a great central location to go to state parks with plenty of hiking opportunities.
