This no ordinary campground. Your experience will be as if you are exploring your own private mountain nature reserve. Aramesh is 120 acres of Blue Ridge heaven with something for every wilderness adventure seeker: unmatched mountain views, lush old growth forests, babbling brooks, and miles of trails for all skill levels. The property starts at 3700 ft altitude, with summit at 4500 ft on the Glades mountain ridge. We have only a few campsites on the vast property, so the wind in the trees and birds will be all you hear. Come and stay with us and be renewed! Campsites: They are 3/4-1/4 mile from the entrance. Some are accessible by 4WD. There may be some vigorous hiking involved, but the views are worth it. The pads are various sizes. Let us know what the needs of your party are and we can help you choose from the available spots. We also have several more remote “off-menu” sites for those seeking a backpacking adventure - ask for more information if your are interested. Hiking: There are several miles of trails on the property. They range from an easy slope to very strenuous. The entire property is fenced so you won't easily get lost. Your climbing efforts will be amply rewarded by stunning views, especially at sunset. Trail maps are available upon request. On-Site Amenities: we provide a clean porta-potty and running water that is spring fed. We ask that you follow "Leave-No-Trace" procedures during your stay. Off-Site Amenities: If you choose to explore the area : we are a 10 minute drive from I-40 Exit 24. Asheville is 45 minutes away; Waynesville is 25 minutes away. Presnell's Grocery (highly recommended, family-owned store that sells locally farmed products) is 10 minutes away from the property entrance. The Ingles supermarket in Canton is a 15 minute drive. You will find every kind of fast food in that area. There are also several excellent local dining options in Canton, Clyde, and Waynesville which we are happy to recommend to you by request.

We have been to 5 or 6 stays in the area. This one was by far. Our best stay. The view, climate, and hosts. Are absolutely top tier. If your thinking of staying here. Just do it. This place is incredible.

A Must Do Life Experience @ Tai Chi

Words can't describe the incredible experience I got to share with my girlfriend. It was her first time camping overall, and well, this spot definitely help solidify more tent camping endeavors to come. The view alone with the sunset will have you speechless and will quite literally humble you and fill you with gratitude. Don't get me wrong, come prepared. It is a hike so take advantage of the ATV package they offer to help get your stuff up and down the hill. Also take note there is no shade or cover from the sun or possible rain. That said, if properly prepared, this is a 12 out of 10 camping destination that will have all your "glamping" style friends jealous they chose their over priced dome down the street. Expect the beauty of all that nature has to offer from flowers and abundant butterflies, fireflies illuminating the night, horses stampeding by your tent (yes this did happen and it was amazing), to even possibly black bear sightings and howling coyotes. For those not too experienced, settle lower down the hill at Ellijah Hill campsite as it provides shade under a tree with a lovely tree swing, and drive up access with capable vehicles (recommend 4WD). That said, we will definitely be back for another memorable experience.

Slice of Heaven

I cant even find the words to say how beautiful this site is. The host is so kind and sweet, the horses were so beautiful and the view and amount of space was spectacular. I will warn that bug spray is a must and long socks you can tuck into your pants to keep the ticks away since this is a more remote spot. That being said it was truly a private slice of heaven! I cant wait to come back.
