Be lulled to sleep by the beautiful South Toe River at night while you fish, tube, swim and explore during the day!
PLEASE NOTE:
Due to current drought conditions in Western North Carolina, the well at Carolina Hemlocks is unable to produce running water. In order to avoid closing the campground completely, port a johns will be available on site and bottled water will be distributed upon check-in. We encourage campers to bring extra water and hygiene supplies due to expected high temperatures. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience and hope to have the water system operating again shortly.
The campground has sites available for both tents and RV’s, some sites with river views. Located in the Appalachian District of the Pisgah National Forest, Carolina Hemlocks is just a short drive from Mount Mitchell State Park and the Blue Ridge Parkway.
