camping around asheville nc

[the59sound]

Hey everyone my wife and i are planning a trip to nc in October. We want to spend a week around Asheville but we want to camp for 3 nights. We are going to be camping primitive style and we were wondering what spots to look into. We may turn into a hiking trip so camp in spot a then travel to spot b and so on. Any suggestions on where to start our look?

There are a number of primitive sites along areas of the blue Ridge Parkway. I've not used them, but spoke with a Ranger at Julien Price and he showed me several areas for wild camping. That's a bit far from Asheville, but I'm sure there are others.

Also appears to be some north of Old Fort, NC along Roseboro road according to some other reports I've read.

To clarify, they are not on the Parkway itself, but off of spur roads...

Maybe a little late on this, but but Beer City Bicycles is a cool bike shop where you can get a good beer.

Check out forestry road NC105 near Linville Falls. You won't be disappointed

I lived over in Brevard and loved it. If you get back in the Pisgah NF there were plenty of sites along the fire roads. Last I checked a bunch of the lower sites were signed as no camping but the higher ones were still open. Plenty of places to explore up there!
