Rocky Top 4 is a peaceful North Carolina camping retreat offering the perfect mix of privacy, scenic beauty, and outdoor adventure. Surrounded by rolling hills, fresh mountain air, and natural landscapes, this relaxing getaway is ideal for campers looking to unplug and enjoy the quiet side of nature.
Whether you’re traveling with a tent, camper, or RV, the property provides a comfortable place to unwind after a day of exploring nearby hiking trails, rivers, waterfalls, and mountain towns. Evenings are perfect for campfires under the stars, while mornings bring peaceful views and the sounds of nature all around.
Conveniently located near popular outdoor attractions and small-town amenities, Rocky Top 4 makes a great basecamp for fishing, hiking, sightseeing, or simply relaxing in the countryside. It’s an excellent spot for couples, families, and outdoor enthusiasts looking for a true North Carolina mountain escape.
The electrical service is 110 at both sites. There is a spickot at site 1. And a water hose at mountain view. There is also a faucet in the large wash basin sink at the outhouse. The outdoor shower has a small, electric hot water tank that connects to the shower head.
Once you arrive at my address... It can be a little tricky. I have 2 driveway entrances. The first entrance that you come to, is the one that is used for hip campers. There is a sign that says"Rocky Top". This is a gravel drive. This drive is a little steep. You just want to make sure that once you start up, you keep going and don't stop until you reach the top. If for some reason you pass that entrance, or you don't feel comfortable going up that drive, feel free to use the asphalt drive. Once you reach the top of the Hill, everything starts leveling out. You will see a barn on your right and a shed on your left, just continue on the gravel Road, site 1 will be the first one you come to on your left. Continue on and you will pass the outhouse on your right and then you will see mountain view straight across from the outhouse.

Me and my son had fun. Didn’t catch anything but still had fun just being out in nature on the lake. It’s beautiful at night with the lights and pretty quiet. There were 2 other camp sights being used and everyone was nice. I didn’t purchase anything that was set out but I thought snacks, drinks, firewood, and bait was a nice touch.

My son and I took an overnight camping Adventure to hopefully land a big fish! Although we did not land a big fish we did land a bunch fond memories. Stephanie the camp host is absolutely amazing !!! Campsites are easy to get to and they give you a little wagon to Wagon your stuff over to it. We did use the own site charcoal stove. And our neighbors were just as pleasant as the host just a lot of good people in this area.

I can’t even begin to explain how amazing Carmen’s campsite was! So much privacy, soooo many amenities, and gorgeous views!! I was even able to have the pool and bath house all to myself since no one was at the other site. Carmen was super helpful and always just a call away if I needed anything at all! She even provided a bunch of firewood so that was one less thing I had to worry about bringing. This space is such a hidden gem and is so impressive!!! Can’t wait to go back soon!!

We had a wonderful stay at Black Bear Farm in Travelers Rest! The campsites and property are incredibly spacious, giving you plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The grounds are beautiful, well maintained, and it’s clear the hosts take great pride in their property.
The hosts were exceptionally gracious and even invited us to a gathering during our stay. We had to politely decline since we were tired from the day and wanted to stay with our pup, but the invitation was such a thoughtful gesture and made us feel very welcome.
They’re also continuing to improve the property, including adding a bathroom, which will make future stays even better.
We’d definitely recommend Black Bear Farm to anyone looking for a relaxing place to camp, and there’s a good chance we’ll be back ourselves!
