2 acres on a mountain, living and renting in upcycled mobile homes. Bring the kids! We have a trampoline and many farm animals. Learn more about this land: Mountainside property overlooking the French Broad Valley and the city of Asheville. 2 mile drive into Hip West Asheville. 4 miles to downtown. Shuttles downtown and back available for an additional fee! 1 tent site available with an outhouse and outdoor shower available closeby. Dogs must stay on leash and campers are asked to pick up and move any droppings out of view. This is a working family homestead with multiple species of farm animals which guests are welcome to interact by invitation with dogs on a leash The road to the property is steep and has a rough patch that a low clearance vehicle needs to drive super slow on. Most cars can make the steep hills. We have Duck and Chicken eggs, Goat Milk and Chèvre (cheese) available for sale just let us know if you’re interested!Mountainside property overlooking the French Broad Valley and the city of Asheville. 2 mile drive into Hip West Asheville. 4 miles to downtown.

Just to clarify since some campers have been surprised, this is a wide flat campsite with a firepit on a private dirt road on a mountainside- not a fancy campground. It's one of the closest safe campsites to the city and it's got a wooded and hidden away feel which many campers have liked. Two other friendly monthly renters reside on the same dirt road the campsite is on, and when they are around they can answer questions, but the site is simple and self explanatory. The outhouse and shower have instructions for use posted. Dogs must stay on leash and campers are asked to pick up and move any droppings out of view.

Most cars can make the steep hills just fine. We have Duck eggs available for sale just let us know if you’re interested!

As a solo car camper I am always looking for a good safe place to sleep overnight. I am grateful to Raven's Roost for providing that. That said, there were a few things that ended up not being as advertised.

Would neither recommend nor return.
Strongly negative experience start to finish. The road getting to the site was so rough and so steep, we actually managed to crack a rim on our car (a Subaru Outback) just getting up to it. Upon arrival the host was neither present nor responsive by phone. We were told there were instructions on the outhouse, but there were none so we had no idea where to park or set up camp. Along with the outhouse there were two trailers and a camper that were permanent residences, nobody batted an eye when we were wandering clearly looking for any information. We finally landed at what we thought was the tent site described on the website, which was just a flattened turnaround at the end of a dirt road, within earshot of the residents. The property itself was seemingly in disrepair. I'm sure the permanent residents would call the items strewn about their personal belongings, but truth be told it felt like we were in a homeless/vagrant encampment. I'm not going to speculate about what may or may not occur on that property, but we were so uncomfortable with the state of it, the proximity of the permanent residents to the "campsite", and the dangerous road, that we turned around and gave up on it. We stayed at the Holiday Inn nearby, which was great. The host asked why we decided not to stay, and when I answered truthfully, the host was rude and argumentative in response. I would not recommend booking at Raven's Roost and will not be returning.

We had a lovely night here! The road in is steep but otherwise fine. The camp spot is spacious and flat in a wooded setting. It’s the dead end of a short old fire road. Nice little fire ring. The long term campers you pass on the way in are friendly and kind. The night we spent here was very peaceful. The toilet area could use a tidy up, but that’s our only complaint. If you are used to family campgrounds or are prone to judging others with less traditional life styles , this maybe isn’t for you. If you are comfortable with primitive camping and can appreciate a touch of the eccentric, you’ll really enjoy it here.

Awesome
It’s a perfect spot! So nice with views that are wonderful! The outside shower is the best. I would stay again and I’m to tell my friends that visit Asheville that I have the perfect spot for you to stay! Chip Grant
