Large groups enjoy this cozy mountain campground in the Pisgah National Forest of western North Carolina. Ample opportunities for recreation exist in the area, including hiking, picnicking, scenic driving, swimming, fishing, mountain biking and more.
This is a great place for campers to simply relax in the woods and listen to the sound of the creek. Visitors can also explore the area's numerous hiking trails, check out crystal clear waterfalls or fish for trout in the creek and a nearby lake.
Kuykendall Group Camp has a shaded camping area for tents and RVs. The site is equipped with picnic tables, vault toilets, lantern posts, campfire rings with grills and drinking water.
Kuykendall Group Camp is just 4 miles from the town of Brevard and about an hour from the city of Asheville. The site is located in the Appalachian Mountains at an elevation of 2,600 feet. The surrounding national forest boasts mile-high peaks, cascading waterfalls and slopes thickly forested with hardwoods. The group camping area is adjacent to Kuykendall Creek.
Visitors should note that creek crossing is required on the road leading to the campground. Heavy rains may temporarily make crossing difficult; a four-wheel drive or high clearance vehicle is recommended.

From Asheville, take State Highway 280 south to Brevard. At the junction of U.S. Highway 276/64/280, follow Highway 64 west through Brevard to Cathy's Creek Road/Forest Road 471. Take a right and go 1.25 miles to campground entrance.
Nice place for a large group. Potable water source, picnic tables and a primitive restroom. No electricity. Reserve at the Pisgah Ranger Station in Pisgah Forest, NC.. You get the key to the gate. It is located about a mile up the dead end road from the gate located off Cathys Creek Road.
You don't want to go there with a lowriding car but it's an awesome spot
This is a beautiful, secluded, piece of unadulterated nature. Great for small, medium or larger campouts and gatherings. Out house was pretty decent. Lots of creeks and trails. Picnic tables and lots of open space.
Great site for group (up to 60 people) camping. Located just 40 minutes from Asheville near Brevard NC. Large meadow and plenty of treeline for setting up camp. Cathy's Creek within walking distance. Several hiking trails and a waterfall nearby. Bathrooms and a well with potable water on site also.
