Located in Pisgah National Forest on NC 215, Sunburst Campground was once a logging camp. Now nine primitive campsites offer quiet camping near the West Fork, Pigeon Rivers. Sites have picnic tables, tent pads, and lantern hooks. Flush toilets in bath house, and firewood available for purchase.
From Canton, NC, take State Rt. 215 south 16 miles to campground. An alternative is to take State Rt. 215 (milepost 423) from the Blue Ridge Parkway north 8.6 miles to campground.
Definitely at the top of the list for best places to camp!
Kim and Ronnie are so helpful and attentive to every guest in the campground! From helping you set up your tent to loaning you their personal utensils if you forgot a sharp knife to slice your tomatoes and even a hatchet or a length of string if you need one. I can honestly say this campground is exceptional because of the hosts as much as the camping and fishing and swimming!
Just wanted to say what great people they have there! Ms. Kim and Mr. Ronnie are truly exceptional and are the definition of southern hospitality.
Really appreciate the help and the hospitality!
Stay here when I want to get an early start on trout fishing. It's ok. 10 spots? squeezed together right on the roadside. A bit noisy until after dark when the motorcycles and other vehicles stop going by. Suits me for an overnight stay, but wouldnt vacation here for sure.
Though we didn't stay at the campground we hiked the Middle Prong trail right next to it. There are several branches off the main trail both to the left and right allowing for more exploration. The main trail is fairly smooth and quite wide. It's a great hike offering plenty of natures best!
We rolled in before sunset on a mid-November Saturday afternoon. Only one other camper other than the camp-host. Beautiful little campground across the street from the creek. Very quiet, very clean....great stop!
