Pisgah Riverbend

Well kept land very clean and quiet. Beware there can be mud driving in but it’s all apart of the adventure.

Good communication with Patrick, much appreciated. The road in does have several muddy spots. To pass them you’ll need to stay to the right or left (don’t put your tires into the ruts) and accelerate to maintain forward momentum is important. The sites themselves are tidy and have a nice view of the river. The picnic tables are made of composite material and well-put together. There is also a sturdy metal fire pit which is nice.

In town for some mtn biking. Pisgah stable road was closed where we normally camp. Davidson river campsite was full but we got on the wait list. That didn’t come thru. Hipcamp gave us our best option - and accommodating last minute. Cars be warned - the road to the sites was muddy with some deep ruts. I made it to the site with my 2 wheel drive truck but had to move fast thru the sections. Was part of the fun. Great location. We were sure 23. 2 cars backed in no prob. 3 tents fit easily. Close to portopotty and firewood. Getting into the river required skill and we used a tow rope to rappel down. All good. Hope to do it again some time.

Beautiful spot by the river. We paddled in on the French Broad River Paddle Trail, which is awesome. This was a great spot that is very well maintained.

Patrick is a wondeful and accomdating host. Site 2 was beautifully shaded just as the picture shows. There was a good amount of rain before and during my stay. The recommendation for 4WD is a fair one. It set and met my expectation, and met that expectation. It's of course relative to your comfort level. I had my minivan and was ok. Thank you for sharing your space with us.

Patrick is an excellent host. Very attentive. Camp site was recently cleared nicely for our arrival with fresh cut grass. Toilet was clean and stocked with paper and hand sanitizer. Well marked camp with posted sign easily seen from river. Fire wood available. Amber responded immediately to questions on hip camp app. Patrick answered all questions regarding the camp site and river conditions.

Great spot for kayak camping

Tent ·

Site 26

I stayed at this campground because I was kayak camping on the French Broad River and it is suggested on the French Broad Paddle Trail website. It's very convenient that you can just paddle right up to the take-out and the campsites are right there. And they are nice campsites too. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring and there is dry firewood for sale on site. The porta-john was clean. There is no potable drinking water but the host brought me two gallons of spring water, which was very kind. I like the way the sites are spread out with a buffer of trees and brush between them.

Beautiful site and a perfect location super close to town. It's a steep drop off to the river so worth some extra caution with little kids. We had a great time and can't wait to return.

After a long day of unexpected events on the road, we felt incredibly lucky to stumble upon this campground at the last minute. The property is absolutely beautiful and very easy to access from the main road. While there was some highway noise due to a nearby road, it didn’t detract from the overall experience. Hosts were GREAT!!! The campground’s location by the river made for a peaceful and scenic stay. We truly enjoyed our time here and would recommend it to anyone looking for a convenient and relaxing spot to camp.

Great hosts!

Tent ·

The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. On our way to the location, the GPS misled us, but the hosts kindly drove out to meet us and guided us back to the site. The neighboring site felt a bit close, but it was unoccupied during our stay, so it wasn’t an issue. All in all, it was a nice getaway.

Serene spot on the river

18 ft campervan ·

Site 25 was great, it's right next to the river's pull out site and an extremely short walk to the porta potty and firewood. The spot is equipped with a nice fire ring and picnic bench. This spot is great for van camping, a bit small for tent camping but still 100% doable. The back lots are so peaceful, and is surrounded by a huge open field, great for walking the dog. Highly recommend.

Not a great swimming spot.

4 ft campervan · With pets ·

Site 10

The land is beautiful. I was searching for a swimming hole for kids and site 10 and the campground overall did not have what I imagined it would. We couldn't see the river from our campsite because of the trees and bushes. and we couldn't wade in the water at our campsite (due to the steep drop off) or in the river access spot (due to sinking in the mud and it being to shallow to swim with lots of branches in the water.

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

18 ft campervan · With pets ·

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.
