White Pine South Group Camp is one of two group campsites nestled along Avery Creek in the lush forests of the Appalachian Mountains. The facility provides tent camping year-round and can accommodate families, scout troops and other groups of up to 25 people.
Visitors have access to a number of recreation opportunities, including hiking, swimming, mountain biking, fishing and picnicking, in one of the most scenic areas in the state.
The forest is known for its hiking and mountain biking trails, several of which are close to the campground. Avery Creek and the Davidson River offer great trout fishing.
The site is equipped with picnic tables, vault toilets, lantern posts, campfire rings with grills and drinking water (***DRINKING WATER CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE*** Sorry for the inconvenience).
The campground lies in Pisgah National Forest at an elevation of 2,600 feet. The surrounding land boasts mile-high peaks, cascading waterfalls and slopes thickly forested with hardwoods. The group camping area is adjacent to Avery Creek and near the beautiful Davidson River.

The city of Asheville is about an hour away and offers numerous cultural attractions, art galleries, shops and restaurants. The small town of Brevard is also nearby and has various amenities and services.
From the Asheville airport, take Highway 280 south to Brevard. Turn right on U.S. Highway 276. Go 1.75 miles to Forest Road 477 and turn right. Go 0.75-mile to the parking area on the right side of the road. Walk across the bridge to the campground entrance road.
Great camp spot for the price. Lots to do in the area. Watch out for 🐻!
Tent camping at it's best! Nice creek, fire pit, grill. Fun family camping.
This place is simply amazing. It's within 5 minutes of the entrance to the park. Parking is within75 ft of the campsite. There's a little bridge that crosses the creek from the parking spot. There's enough parking for roughly 10 cars. There are five large flat tent sites. Don't worry about having enough space. You can always pitch tents on the grass all over the place.
Couple down sides: It has no running water. Bring your own water. It does have a indoor pit toilet. They are not very clean. Imagine a portajohn.
Keep in mind this place is a primitive campsite for large groups.
You have to reserve this place online.
