Hipcampers say this spot has amazing views.

This property is situated on 50 acres, surrounded by private property with views of the nearby Pisgah National Forest and a 10 minute drive to DuPont State Forest. Campsites are adjacent to the French Broad River. Excellent fishing and boating. It is heavily populated by deer and other wildlife. For this reason, dogs must be kept on a leash. Please note that due to the campground being in low-lying land, the drive in is subject to being slick and muddy, 4WD is always recommended. Message us with any questions. Due to the property proximity to the river and situated in floodway, the sites are subject to flooding during heavy rain events. Voluntary and/or mandatory evacuation may be necessary during any reservation due to high waters or forecast for high water events. If evacuation is necessary, unused portions of reservation will be refunded. Campers are advised to be self-sufficient with water and shower facilities. We do provide a port a potty and firewood is for sale on site (Venmo, PayPal or cash). IF YOU ARE CAMPING WITH A RV OR TRAILER, PLEASE CONTACT US TO DISCUSS A SITE. All sites can accommodate smaller RV camper units. However, larger RV's have limited site availability. Campsites are situated along the river edge. Embankments are steep and near deep water. Although not prohibited, constant supervision for children is a must to avoid serious injury due to natural hazards. If you are floating in from the French Broad River the recommended take out is located at 35.24007° N, -82.69972° W. See images in our photos for the posted Riverbend sign for where to take out.

Site 25

We paddled into Pisgah Riverbend to camp at Site 25 and were a bit disappointed with the official take-out. We had 4 kayaks and could basically only land 1 kayak at a time, unload it (carrying all the gear up the steps), then finally bringing it up the steps before landing the next kayak. We found that the river access at at Site 26 was much more suitable for loading/launching the next morning. We enjoyed the fantastic fire-ring and picnic table within Site 25, burning 2 bundles of wood that they had available for sale nearby. We had to be careful of the poison ivy that was present (as to be expected) around the perimeter of the campsite, but it was also present (a small amount) right in front of the firewood shed. While the site and campground are quite far from the entrance (1 mile according to the details), it's actually quite close to a road across the river that's relatively busy. Overall, it was a tough day on the water as we paddled 16 miles that day starting from the next campground upstream. It was awesome to swim/bathe in the river after setting up our site. We didn't have any luck fishing there, but we're not very good fishermen.

Spot on the River

We had such a great trip! Upon entering, you’ll drive past rows and rows of corn before pulling up the camping spots. It was very easy to find and each spot was clearly marked. We loved staying in the back, which was a hit further down the road from the front spots. We drove in with a Chevy Express van (no 4-wheel drive) and made it in just fine, granted there hasn’t been lots of rain lately although it was lightly raining that day/overnight. Spot 23 has a nice little alcove where we set up a hammock and van camped. The picnic table and fire ring were clutch and both well used. No matter what spot you stay in, you’re very near to the porta potty and fire wood spot. The back camping spot opens up to a large field which was great for walking the dog around, it also has direct access to the river and the pull out spot for boaters. We booked this spot on a whim, wanting to get out of Asheville for the night and received access instructions right away with fast response time from the hosts. Located in close proximity to Pisgah and DuPont, even closer proximity to two breweries. Lots of options for food and shopping near by if you prefer to eat out. High recommend this spot, we’ll be back for sure.

Site 23

Great communication with owners. Easy to find and access. Conveniently located near Brevard and the national forest. Fire flies are great!
