Mount Mitchell State Park, the first state park in North Carolina, offers access to the highest point of elevation east of the Mississippi River. Campers can hike the Mountains-to-Sea state trails connected to Pisgah National Forest and enjoy panoramic views from peaks like Mount Hallback, Mount Craig, Big Tom, and Balsam Cone. Private campgrounds for RVs with full hookups are also nearby.

Hipcamp has the perfect site to match your camping style.
