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. Venture from mountain peaks to gorgeous gorges, and travel only moments further to be taken over by trees in the Cherokee National Forest, Nantahala National Forest, or Pisgah National Forest. 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. Explore North Carolina’s Deep Creek streams and waterfalls, journey to the past in Cataloochee Valley’s 19th- and 20th-century buildings, or wander the wonders of the Mountain Farm Museum and Mingus Mill. 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. Journey down this scenic stretch to explore endless hiking, biking, and wildlife.

Cherokee National Forest

Saunter into the south side of the Cherokee National Forest just north of the Great Smoky Mountains and 45 minutes from Waynesville. Offering developed campgrounds, hiking trails, whitewater rivers, and picnic areas, this tree-filled oasis provides opportunities for thrill-seekers and those looking to relax. With scenic drives and nature viewing, the effortlessly tall-trunked, green space is an easy decision when camping near Waynesville.

Nantahala National Forest

Heading into the southwest valleys of North Carolina, Nantahala National Forest is the biggest of four national forests in the state. An easy 10-minute drive from Waynesville, campers can book on-site campgrounds with sites ranging from primitive to RV spots with full hookups, lodges, and horse camps. Hit the Nantahala Outdoor Center to rent a raft, paddleboard, or kayak, and trek through treetop adventures or zip down zip lines. Be sure to pack swimsuits and journey out to the swimming hole at Silver Run Falls or one of many other worthy forest waterfalls.

When to go

Despite spring, summer, and fall being the more popular months to camp near Waynesville, there are options for winter warriors, too. Unforgettable fall foliage is followed by winters with snow and icy adventures. Spring offers two rounds of gorgeous flower blooms while summer temperatures over 80°F provide optimal water activities.
