Blue Ridge Parkway<br />
The Blue Ridge<br />
Parkway offers nine<br />
tranquil and scenic<br />
campgrounds to<br />
enhance your journey<br />
along America’s<br />
Favorite Drive. They<br />
do not offer full<br />
hookups, but they do<br />
come equipped with<br />
restrooms, drinking<br />
water, picnic tables and grills, and most can accommodate<br />
sizeable recreational vehicles.<br />
Be sure to ask about Ranger talks and campfire programs that<br />
are given on weekends and occasionally during the week.<br />
Campsites also offer ready access to parts of the Parkway’s 350<br />
miles of hiking trails for travelers who want to explore on foot,<br />
but keep in mind that campgrounds are at elevations of more<br />
than 2,500 feet and dressing in layers is suggested all year.<br />
Campgrounds are open May through October, with a per<br />
night charge of $20. Reservations may be made at Peaks of<br />
Otter, Rocky Knob, Doughton Park, Julian Price Park, Linville<br />
Falls, Crabtree Falls, and Mt. Pisgah campgrounds. All other<br />
campgrounds and sites are first come, first served. To make<br />
a reservation, visit www.recreation.gov or call toll-free (877)<br />
444-6777. Reserved sites are $20 per night. Senior and Access<br />
pass holders: $10 per night. As a general rule, demand is higher<br />
on weekends and holidays.<br />
Group camping is available only at Linville Falls Campground.<br />
Call (828) 765-6082 for more information. In addition, limited<br />
backcountry camping is available via permit at Basin Cove in<br />
Doughton Park, (336) 372-8568, and Rock Castle Gorge,<br />
(540) 745-9661. <strong>Camping</strong> outside of designated campgrounds<br />
(or without a permit at backcountry sites) is prohibited.<br />
Most tunnels provide plenty of clearance, although several<br />
near Cherokee have a minimum height of less than 11 feet at<br />
the road’s edge, and drivers of especially tall vehicles should<br />
favor the centerline!<br />
For complete list of tunnel heights, visit:<br />

Trail and within fifteen miles of Mt. Mitchell State Park.<br />
