A beautiful space!! Nice and isolated with great views. Tom is an amazing host. I would recommend 4 wheel drive to get up the hill or be ready for a little half mile hike with some gear.

Everything was great! Come prepared with a car with 4 wheel drive or AWD because it's quite a climb to bring your things up. The view is just amazing, mountain tops views go on for days. Nice fire pit and grill grates, firewood already there on arrival. Land was nicely mowed and felt good to walk around barefoot. We were pleasantly surprise that there was a spot for target shooting. That was fun and we got some great practice in! Plenty of room for the dog to roam...it got hot up there so make sure to have plenty of water and make an area for shade. This is definitely a spot we will revisit again.

This was a phenomenal camp site! It’s a bit of a hike to get there (whether you’re on foot or in your car) but the views are absolutely worth it. There is plenty of room to roam which my dog definitely appreciated and you get the whole area to yourself. On top of that, it’s a super quick drive into Asheville if you’re looking to switch it up after sleeping under the stars. 100% recommend this spot.

We genuinely enjoyed our stay at Minie Ball and look forward to returning soon. Picturesque long range views on top of your own mountain; not bad!
Thanks, Tom.

Minie Ball was a great stay with many fun options nearby. The campsite itself is very private and includes a fire ring. The overlooks are great and there are few lights at night which displays amazing star gazing at night. There is a possibility of driving to the campsite, however; it does require a AWD/4WD vehicle with good clearance. Overall, this is a great site and I totally recommend staying here.

Minie Ball
Minie Ball saved the day! My friends were taking me on my first camping trip for my birthday, however, all the good campsites they knew of were closed. We scrambled for an hour trying to forgive out what to do when I remembered I saw a site called hip camp. Minie Ball was direct book so we didn't have to wait and it was inexpensive. The view was phenomenal and it was pretty secluded. If you hike to the top, it's a pretty straight incline all the way up, but once you reach it, you realize how worth it, it was.
Also, Thomas was awesome. He wasn't home when we arrived but he brought us up some firewood and water to put it out if needed.

This place is absolutely fantastic. Honestly, the pictures really do not do it justice. Very gorgeous, very private and well equipped.

Our stay at Minie Ball was extremely enjoyable. The host was extremely accommodating and the views waking up in the mornings from the tent couldn't be beat. Highly recommend staying here!

If you are near Asheville and looking to camp, go out of your way to get here. Absolutely beautiful land, wish we could have stayed longer but enjoyed every second we were there.

Minie Ball
Great place to camp! Very private and lovely views. Definitely need a vehicle with good ground clearance to get to the top to drop off your supplies. We loved everything about this location and we plan to go back in the fall. It's also a great place to camp with your dogs. So much room for them to run and play. Great place Wade!

Minie Ball
Super beautiful property with happy, social goats and productive chickens! Beautiful views from the top of the hill all day and night, and very kind hosts! Firewood was placed near the fire pit before we even arrived and there's a large tent to camp in if you prefer that. The campsite is huge, however, so there's plenty of room to pitch your own tents. We got very lucky and caught Tom on his way out and were gifted delicious eggs from his chickens (which we cooked for breakfast). We had an amazing stay and would definitely recommend this spot to anyone in the neighborhood.

Our Minie Bell stay was wonderful! The views are great and the campsite is conveniently located close to several hiking trails and a short drive from Asheville. The owner is very welcoming and attentive.
