## Overview

There are many ways to enjoy your stay here at Green Heart Forest Campground! We offer private tent camping, glamping, and lodging at the base of Max Patch Bald with private trail access to the Appalachian Trail and Pisgah National Forest. Perched along a ridge amongst large trees and a diverse understory, you'll have your own base camp for exploring and enjoying the great outdoors. Popular activities include a can walk in our meditation gardens, work participation & learning experiences in our organic/permaculture gardens and orchards, gathering fresh produce from those same gardens, stargazing, hiking, birdwatching, or you can just relax and enjoy the wisdom of the forest.

About Max Patch: 
Max Patch Bald is a picturesque, high-elevation meadow located in the Pisgah National Forest of North Carolina. This spot, known for its sweeping 360-degree views, lies along the Appalachian Trail. The bald is at an elevation of about 4,629 feet and provides a panoramic vista of the surrounding mountains, including the Great Smoky Mountains and the Black Mountains. Its grassy, treeless summit makes it a popular destination for hikers, photographers, and those looking for stunning sunrises and sunsets. The area is especially vibrant in the fall, with foliage adding bursts of color to the landscape.

We can also accommodate private retreats and events so please reach out with a direct message if this is something you are interested in!

> I have to say we had the most wonderful experience Glamping at the Artist Cabin this weekend. Despite the weekend being a bit on the soggy side, the team that we came into contact with, could not have been more accommodating and nothing was too much trouble - so a MASSIVE SHOUT OUT to David, Sunny, and everyone for making our stay such a pleasurable one. Many Thanks from Callie, Desiree, and Kairi.

> I’ve been up and down the Blue Ridge Mountains camping in 100s of sites from National Parks to Hipcamps and everything in between. This is going to be near the top of the list and I can’t recommend this place enough. The campsites themselves were beautiful, nestled on a ridge where you could see mountains through the trees, & very well spaced out with tons of places to put tents/hammocks. We loved having the big fire ring with a grate for cooking and the picnic tables were a great addition. It’s a lot like the campgrounds in some of the local national forests, except you have a shower and bath…

> Cozy cabin in the woods surrounded by mountains. Very comfortable bed with a view of the sunrise. An outstanding host, David, made me welcome and showed me the vast land and farm that is part of his holdings nearby. Easy and beautiful walk to access Max Patch. The icing on the cake is the most loving black lab, Sunny. You can count on a cheerful greeting from him every day.

> Great camping area! Nestled in Pisgah National Forest, you're able to take a trail that leads to Max Patch, like your own private pathway to the mountains. Friendly staff, including Owner David and his dog, Sunny. Please be cautious of your belongings if Sunny comes by to visit! He's very sweet. The foliage was beautiful both around the campsite and along the Forest. He's got all the basics you could possibly need, with also the ability to disconnect and tune-in with nature. Would definitely come back and camp here again during another season!

> I loved tent camping here. Site 2 was just over the hill and private with a great forest view, perfect for one tent. I felt safe and comfortable here. I hope to go back!
