Beautiful spot surrounded by wildlife and mountain scenery. The campsite is perfectly situated on a comfortable clearing. The host was incredibly helpful with any and all questions and I am thoroughly pleased with our stay. The best Hipcamp site I’ve experienced so far. Highly recommended if you really want to get away and enjoy the best North Carolina has to offer.

Had a great time camping and will definitely be back. Biking from the campground straight into DuPont was a treat. All amenities were as described. Heed the warnings about the gravel drive to the pond campsites; we made it fine with an AWD van but would be spicy in bad weather!

My girlfriend and I have a fantastic time at Andy’s campground. He came over as the sun was going down and we were getting our fire started from the firewood that he had available. Such a pleasant night under the stars. Would highly recommend!

We truly cannot say enough good things about these hosts or this property! They welcomed me and my little family with more kindness than we’ve ever experienced traveling or even near home. I’ve been through a lot emotionally and physically, and we came hoping to heal they made us feel safe, cared for, and supported. From leaving an apple for my son when he qhickly needed some fiber, to helping with groceries and packages, to lending us a propane fire pit and giving my little one a tiny shovel, their kindness never stopped.
We honestly felt like God placed us on their property for a reason. We are forever grateful.
The property is immaculate with beautiful views. Even with a nearby road, it was incredibly quiet-
early mornings and nights were almost ethereal, like being deep in the country. The pavilion was wonderful, and river access just steps away was perfect for skipping rocks and listening to the peaceful water. We also loved the community garden and the kind neighbors. Star gazing during the solar storm was completely amazing because of the extremely low light pollution from any cities. SHOOTING STARS GALORE!
Ceaser's head was only minutes away and so was Cup & Saucer coffee shop that had amazing pumpkin spice lattes and an allergy friendly quiche!
This stay was full of warmth and peace. These hosts truly feel like family to us, and because of them, we now want to move to the area. We will never forget our time here and highly, highly recommend staying with them. ❤️

What a lovely, welcoming spot Mark and Esther have. We (my bf, pooch and I) spent two nights in our 18.5' camper trailer here in Techno RV Site #2 and it was quite perfect. We had no neighbors camped near us (mid-November and mid-week) so we felt like we were alone in the woods. But there are nice tree/shrub barriers between each site so I think it would have been fine if there had been. The bathhouse was clean and had everything you needed (including a timed heater and unlimited hot water) and the hiking trails on the property were a great place to walk the dog in the morning before setting out on our adventures. Communication was great from the hosts and they were there waiting for us upon our almost-late arrival. All in all, we felt this spot was great - and we'll probably be back. Thanks, Mark and Esther!

Great spot near the stream. Trailhead on site. Coffee shop across the street, not sure the hours, and another down into Rosman. Experienced great hospitality. Warm cabin, even for a cold night!

What a wonderful, peaceful campsite! We enjoyed every minute of it. We brought my 78 year old mother & she loved the easy walk to the creek & walking through the community garden & guessing what was planted. There was great communication with Jann & she made sure we knew about all the fun places nearby. It’s a wonderful location! We will be back soon!!

Weekend Trip to At the Ridge Camp-Riverside Escapes
A great place on the river. The bed was broken and not comfortable at all. It does not have a k cup just a regular coffee pot. Bring coffee filters and not k cups. There is 2 pieces of wood going on to the deck that was rotten and I almost fell through. We only seen one porta potty for about 15 sites.

Awesome place and view, no neighbors in sight or earshot. Super private place where you can really feel alone and away from it all. The drive is pretty steep and somewhat tight in a spot or two in the dark, but we had no issues, just put it in 4wd at the bottom and eased up to the top.

At The Ridge is a magical little campground tucked into the Pisgah National Forest. We visited at peak fall and the colors were absolutely stunning. A peaceful creek runs through the property, and we spent our evenings by the fire with the sound of water in the background. It felt like a fairytale. The grounds are well-kept, quiet, and beautiful. The hosts were so kind and even helped us park when we arrived after dark. Truly one of the best camping experiences we’ve ever had.

The campsite was great, and we really enjoyed the trails! Campsite #1 had a great spot for tents and still plenty of room to hangout. You definitely need AWD for the pond sites.

Our family loved spending the weekend at the Creekside Campsite. Our kids enjoyed splashing in the creek and watching the chickens! Georgianna was an amazing host and made sure all our needs were met. Tons of waterfalls and hiking close by. Definitely recommend.

We loved our weekend camping on Georgianna's land! It was a perfect mix of tent camping and "glamping" with a super nice bathhouse and everything we could need provided at our site (outlets, water hose, firewood, dishwashing bin, even tongs and a good fire poker stick!) The tent sites are nicely spaced so it feels private, but we were only steps away from the bathhouse which was great. We really enjoyed sitting by our campfire in the woods and relaxing by the creek in the Adirondack chairs. It was super fun to visit the chickens and eat fresh eggs too! The location was perfect, it feels like you're far away from the hustle & bustle but also close enough to Brevard, the Parkway, and lots of other fun stuff to do. Highly recommend and would definitely camp here again!

We loved camping out there! We took our converted van and our friends camped in their tent, and it worked so well for both of us. Todd and his wife were very kind and helpful and they always seemed to be taking care of their property. We were a quick drive from most hikes and little shops as well which was such a plus. We definitely plan on coming back!

About
“Smiling Faces. Beautiful Places” is right! With views of the Blue Ridge Mountains that will knock your socks off, Keowee-Toxaway epitomizes exquisiteness.

A short, half-mile trail leads to 18,500-acre Lake Keowee where you can enjoy fishing for bass, bream, crappie and catfish. There’s both tent and RV camping within walking distance of the lake. And if roughin’ it ain’t your thang, not to worry. Three-bedroom cabin rentals furnish plusher accommodations, with scenic lake views and a private boat dock to boot. Your time here will have you grinning from ear to ear.
