Our Spa and Geodesic Dome Planetarium is now available for booking! We are a constantly evolving location. Our goal is to provide a genuine secluded camping experience immersed in nature in a mountainous forest with privacy and well spaced out, secluded camp sites. We also have minimal light pollution, so our skies are beautiful for viewing the stars. We offer trails through natural wooded habitat with hidden gems of nature. Wildlife viewing throughout. There are feed locations to increase viewing opportunities. A creek on the property is lovely for walking. Centered between Charlotte and Asheville we are within your reach! We offer primitive tent camping, Glamping Tents and a Cabin. Glamping and cabin have a private Mountain View, fire pit area, Queen bed, Night Stand (built in phone charger), Desk area, interior and exterior lighting, heater and fan (powered by solar system). As a part of Starlight Hills Campground you have access to filtered drinking water, common overlook (w/ BBQ pits & picnic tables), trails, bathroom and showers. Welcome to bring all your furry family members ❤️. Please Note: 2 Wheel Dr. vehicles can access all of our sites. Gravel/ Dirt road up hill.

The campsite is generally well-received, with many visitors appreciating its beautiful views, spacious sites, and peaceful atmosphere. The host, William, is frequently mentioned as being friendly and accommodating, contributing positively to the experience. Some reviews highlight the availability of amenities like a spa and clean bathrooms as standout features. However, a few visitors mention issues such as unlevel sites and additional costs for spa access as points of concern.

Absolutely loved it. Super clean. Perfect place to BBQ with a great view of the forest and mountains. Campfire looked amazing under a clear night sky. Indoor tent heater that kept us warm all night. Convenient store within a 3 minute in case you need some essentials. You really feel out in the middle of nowhere which makes it even better. Hopefully i can visit again this summer.

Overview of mountains!
This campground is so great! There were picnic tables everywhere including site 6 and two awesome trails to check out that weren’t too long! The overview of the mountains was perfect and the showers were dreamy. The host responded quickly and was very helpful, 10/10 experience.

Beautiful campground
We stayed in one of the tent sites right beside their beautiful overlook. There was a couple picnic tables, there and hammocks so you could sit back relax and enjoy the view. We also got a couple hours at their spa. The sauna and hot tub were perfect For that cool night. Just laying back relaxing looking at the stars. I would highly recommend this campground to anybody who is looking for some peace and relaxation.

Great campsite!
Great quiet location for tent camping. The stars seem brighter here! The Owner was very welcoming and friendly. He even extended the spa time for us, which we really enjoyed. It was very relaxing. I would definitely recommend the spa. Camping sites were nice and clean. Easy to navigate the property with clear signs of where to go. There's no getting lost here. Showers definitely came in handy with running hot water! Certain camping areas had great views, the BBQ location which was closest to us was walking distance. They have picnic tables there along with some hammocks already there. It's very peaceful and relaxing here. My wife and I will definitely be back soon! Our overall experience, 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
