Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
Approved Pisgah National Forest dispersed camping sites. Pull off from main road, shaded, established fire pits. Only one other car parked and they didn’t stay overnight. Some traffic during the day but only a few cars at night.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Latest Check-Ins
Stayed here one night. Very cool pretty but also popular with limited spaces to park. The road “Coleman Boundry/Dillingham ends at a gate and just before this on the right is a parking area by the river, 3 vans and 2 cars were here last night so it is popular. We turned down Ranger Road and noted another spot on the left just after the turn (also occupied ) and another roadside pull off about 1/2 km down the road with 3 vehicles parked there. After this the road is private. We also noted areas along the road with signs on trees saying no camping . Not sure if they are legit
Anyway nice peaceful spot
There is a road going into the national forest that curves around and then a small road on the left that curves around into a small dirt parking lot. I slept here two nights with no problems.
Report Check-InI’ve parked in the parking lot a couple of nights with no problems. There is a road that goes into the national forest and curves around, then a small turn off on the left and a small gravel parking lot.
Report Check-InIn what looks like a dirt lot. No one here, beautiful sound of a nearby stream. but no fire pit at this spot. a mile down the road has a spot with a fire pit, but it was taken.
Report Check-InDue to extensive road damage, the road leading into the Big Ivy is closed and barricaded off. There is a small parking area just to the right (south) of the barricades. You can still bike and hike up from there. No signs indicating a time limit for parking.
Report Check-InOur plan B spot, as the road is closed about 200 yards up from this site. It's a nice spot next to a creek, but not very private. We had another vehicle pull in around midnight. It was nice having breakfast next to the stream in the morning. My wife (claims she) saw a river otter!
