Pondside Single pond was originally a small quarry outlier for Grove Stone Quarry in Black Mountain. There are many small quarries in this area that were dug in the 1940s and 1950s. After they finished their work, reclamation was done, and the quarries were filled in by the streams and tributaries which flow down this valley. It is a very shallow pond which offers sanctuary to birds, fishes, salamanders, frogs, snapping turtles, beaver and otters. I have installed a Clemson Beaver Pond Leveler at the overflow. This device tricks the Beavers and they can not hear or feel the water flowing out of the pond. It has been in place for 3 years and works like a charm. Beavers are very industrious creatures.RVs welcome at this single site beside our pond. An easy flat approach to camp site. My truck and trailer are 47', and I can easily back in. 35' Class A's have an easy time, too. Mountain views in the background. Birds and ducks, the occasional beaver or bear. Asheville is 20 minutes to the West and Black Mountain is 15 minutes to the East. They both offer a host of activities, extra nice local brews, yummy foods, and/or musing among the galleries, take a stroll in town, or a hike in the National Forests. Pondside Single is the perfect place to spend a quiet evening after a day exploring the surrounding area.

Pondside Single

Wonderful, peaceful nature spot! Easy to find and good setup - had no trouble parking my 23 ft trailer. Spacious grassy area with good shade and view of the pond, trees, and hills. Jumping fish and frogs in the ponds. Karen came by to check on us and make sure we were all set. Enjoyed many hours just sitting and relaxing. Also close to Black Mountain and good hiking! Hoping to book again!

Fireflies and Starlight

Reluctantly, left Pondside Single this morning after spending three lovely days and nights here. If you crave a serene spot with no neighbors, where fireflies and stars provide the evening show, this is the place for you. One of the most perfect spots we have camped.

We loved our experience at Karen’s Pondside Single! The location is exceptionally private and serene overlooking the pond and surrounding mountains. It’s conveniently located, easy to find, and you really get the whole place to yourself (also really good wifi). 10/10 will return.

WiFi In The Woods

We love this spot, aka “WiFi in the woods.” Ha! Close to Black Mountain and Asheville, but feels private. The 30/50amp plug and WiFi are really nice to have.

The spot was beautiful and secluded, and the view in the morning was worth every penny! Highly recommend checking out Karen’s property!!

Perfect!

Very cool spot with awesome views. I thought the bugs would be bad beside the pond, but they really weren't a problem at all! The spot can be visible from the curch at some angles so don't go sinning out there. ;) lol Great vibes from host and the spot is great for many different types of campers. Only about 25 min to downtown asheville.
