Learn more about this land: Nature. Privacy. Glamping! Tucked away in a mountain valley just 20 minutes from Asheville, our fully remodeled vintage camper is a spacious and comfortable retreat. Rest on a new tuft and needle queen size bed with 1000 thread count sheets. Nestled in a magical rhododendron and mountain laurel forest, you will hear birds and feel the breeze here. Just before the end of a well-kept flat private gravel road, there is just one house past the camper. The site is located on private acreage with no other campsites. This kind of natural privacy is very rare on hipcamp. We offer a mini-fridge, microwave, electric tea kettle, French press for coffee, basic dishware, cutting board, knife and silverware. Enjoy the indoor or outdoor chairs and table for drinks and meals. In the winter we offer an electric fireplace heater for cozy warmth. Note: I hope you will enjoy taking a short break from technology in nature. I do not currently offer wifi and most major cell carriers (excepting T-mobile) work well enough to text. Most are not strong enough to use smartphone browsers, stream or do directions. Most carriers work a few minutes away towards Charlotte Highway (74-A) for all of your adventure planning needs.  You can pull right up to the camper and park off the road in your own driveway. A short trail right by the camper winds you through our peaceful flowering forest to our new composting toilet outhouse. We offer a warm outdoor shower and sink with a forest view. And Turkish towel bathrobes! You may see foxes, rabbits, squirrels, turkeys, deer, hawks, all sorts of birds and even bears! Deep in a residential area surrounded by farms and pastures but just 15 minutes from the blue ridge parkway, we offer peaceful quiet with no road noise. Large and small local groceries are located within 10 minutes. Farm stands and restaurants and also a short drive away. You will need a car in this area to get around. Uber and Lyft are also available here. We warmly welcome all types of people and relationships who are respectful of others and our space. Please be aware: If you are taller than 6' you will have to crouch a bit in the camper. Our outdoor shower has warm water after a few minutes. For your safety, no candles, fires, BBQ, pets, smoking, vaping or kids older than pre-crawling infants at this time. We do share our forest with bears so ALL food, food scraps, and trash must be kept locked in your trunk or the camper for safety.

Comfortable, cozy, and CUTE!!!
Our stay in the camper was lovely and Holly is the sweetest! Had no problems finding it - even in the dark, and my civic had no problem maneuvering the gravel road. Holly gave us a heads up a few days ahead of time to pack warm since temps were supposed to drop below freezing during our stay. I was a little worried about being cold with the windows around the bed but she supplied a space heater that kept us toasty warm! Was also little anxious about the camper not having a lock but there is a lock set up from the inside so it felt very secure while we were sleeping. Agree with other reviewers that said it may be a little tight if you’re in the taller side, but at 5’3” and 5’8” it was plenty spacious! Overall, this stay far exceeded my expectations and I look forward to staying here on future trips to Asheville :)

I had such a lovely stay in this camper. It’s so very comfy and tranquil and so well appointed… a perfect place to chill in the woods for a couple days!

Our BEST HipCamp yet!!!!
This was the Creme of the Crop hip camp spot! We stayed at Holly’s the last night of our 10-day hip camp adventure and it was awesome! All the cute little touches in, and out, of the camper made our stay so memorable! The robes, the super comfy bed and pillows, the phone chargers, all were so appreciated. But, the outdoor bathroom and shower were definitely the best we’ve experienced! Thank you, Holly.

Amazing experience in a beautiful vintage camper. Clean, comfortable bed, quiet and serene. Outdoor sitting area a plus. Only 'not so good' for me was the walk at night to outdoor toilet. The path is well lit and easy to get to. I travel solo so it kinda spooks me. I would definitely stay in the cool vintage camper again. BLESSED 🙏

Easy, Beautiful, Peaceful stay!
Holly's Vintage Camper was absolutely wonderful! It was so easy to find and everything was exactly as listed. It rained most of the time while we were there, but it made the stay even more peaceful than it already was. You are only 20 minutes from downtown Asheville, but you feel so secluded - as if you are right in the middle of the forest! The best part? It was much more spacious than the photos can show! It was clear that Holly cares about the experience of each HipCamper. I highly recommend and will book again.

This converted space is a DREAM
What a magical retreat! Being in the beautiful forest with such privacy was such a rejuvenating experience. The camper was clean, spacious and comfy. There were so many sweet touches from the vintage appliances to the coffee/tea and the bathrobes. I enjoyed the outdoor shower and very comfortable mattress after a day of exploring. Holly was a responsive and respectful host. I will definitely be back!
