Private 14 acres. Seasonal view of Grandfather Mountain. Dog friendly! Campsite includes picnic table benches and fire pit. An authentic off-road mountain escape. *ATTENTION* 4x4 is required. Our access road becomes very slick when wet. During muddy conditions, high clearance four wheel drive vehicles are necessary. Guests may need to lower their tire pressure (air down) to successfully navigate the ascent, please be aware that we do not have an air pump on site, so you will need to bring your own portable pump. If you aren't comfortable with off-road maneuvers please check the weather forecast before your arrival. Tranquil Highlands Campground is heavily wooded. Located less than 10 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway.

  • Review summary

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    Trevor's campsite offers a peaceful and secluded experience, perfect for those looking to get away from it all while still being close to popular attractions like Grandfather Mountain and Linville Gorge. Visitors appreciated the large, private sites and the convenience of having amenities like a fire pit and picnic table. Many praised Trevor for his excellent communication and helpfulness, especially when it came to providing firewood and guidance to the site. A four-wheel drive vehicle is recommended, particularly if it has been raining.

    We really loved staying here! Conveniently located close to Grandfather & Linville. Trevor was a great host and brought us more wood when we needed it. The privacy was also really nice!
