Full RV hookups

Electrical, water, and sewage hookups are available at all sites.

Welcome to Ballooner’s Rest — a quiet, peaceful RV spot tucked in the hills in Candler just west of Asheville. Hosted by a lifelong hot-air balloonist Chief (by his log cabin) and his friendly neighbors Sam & Christen, this is a restful, welcoming base for respectful travelers who love peace, mountain air, and good company. Wake up to soft breezes through the trees in Candler’s rolling hills. Enjoy your morning coffee while Chief's Black Lab "Ike" comes by every morning to briefly inspect and say hi. Sometimes we get up early and go hot air balooning — guests are welcome to come watch, help out, learn about balooning or just enjoy the show. The site has full hookups (30 amp, water, sewer) and is best suited for smaller rigs, camper vans, or truck campers. No campers over 20' please, you will have too much trouble getting in and out. Access is up a steep 11% grade so 4-wheel-drive vehicles only please. You’ll share the property with Chief and his son who live in their log cabin on the property, Sam and Christen in their RV on site (much of the time, when they aren't off on an adventure somewhere else), Chuck who is a lifelong family friend of Chief and helps take care of the grounds and dogs, plus two gentle dogs who love company. Pets are welcome if leashed or under reliable control, and as long as they don’t disturb the peace that makes this spot special. Though laundry isn’t available yet, we are working on it. The location is hard to beat — just 18 minutes from downtown Asheville, 5 minutes from Candler, and an easy drive to Pisgah National Forest and the Blue Ridge Parkway for incredible hiking and biking. The neighborhood is very safe, and apart from the occasional sound of shotguns at the shooting range about 1/2 mile away, also rather quiet. There are no sidewalks, so plan to drive a short distance to reach trails or bike routes. Come rest, reset, and maybe catch a glimpse of a balloon drifting above the morning mist.Site #1 is along a gravel drive towards the bottom of our property. You will be right next to the hosts Sam and Christen, on gravel with full hookups Parking is at the top of the site, so there may be a 100 yard walk down to the campsite.
