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.
Down fire road 812 (findable using all trails), there is a side dirt road which is currently gated off.
I parked in front of the gate, parallel to the fire road.
Very quiet, no noticeable noise from the Blue Ridge Parkway. There were a few other vehicles which had a similar idea, so there were a few headlights until about 10pm.
Gravel road to get down, I’m in a van and that worked well, but it’s groomed enough that a car can probably make it as well.
T-Mobile and Verizon both have 1-2 bars
Directions:
Apple Orchard Overlook
Go down gravel road that is on the left for about 5minutes

Latest Check-Ins
The gate has signs that say so not block, but there is some space on the right before you reach the gate that I backed into. It's not at all level but was ok for one quick night. I have 1-2 bars of Verizon LTE. It was a quiet night with just the sounds of animals and wind
