I moved here from Colorado just to live on a farm. My neighbor's family has owned much of the land around here since the Revolutionary War. My home is the site of their original homestead. They grow watermelons on their acreage surrounding my farm, while I am growing blueberries. The peace and serenity here is something to be experienced!

Glamping near Waynesville guide

Overview

Completely surrounded by national parks and forests, this small North Carolina town offers beauty for campers at every turn. Nestled between the Great Smoky Mountains and Blue Ridge Parkway, there’s no shortage of hiking, biking, and mountain climbing.

With unique farm stays, glamping, sanctuaries, cabin rentals, and more, camping near Waynesville is prime.

Where to go

Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Mountains, lush forests, and waterfalls welcome visitors to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

About 30 minutes from Waynesville, choose between backcountry, frontcountry, group campgrounds, and horse sites in the park for an up close and unforgettable experience.

Blue Ridge Parkway

East of Waynesville sits the bountiful Blue Ridge Parkway. Featuring some of the oldest mountains in the world, it’s also home to Mount Mitchell, the highest mountain peak in the eastern US. Find a resting place at one of eight campgrounds along the parkway or settle into unique spots nearby like the Indigo Eagle Sanctuary, equipped with campsites, glampsites, and cabin rentals.
