I've stayed here twice. There are nine tent-only sites in a walk-in campground that are generally booked months in advance. The lowest numbered sites are closest to the parking lot. The elevation and surroundings make it unique among walk-in campground opportunities in the eastern US. It rarely ever reaches even 70 degrees here - even if it's 90+ degrees in nearby Asheville so dress appropriately. I strongly recommend a tent with a full coverage rain fly as well. Mount Mitchell is notoriously wet and even garden variety thunderstorms at this elevation can bring a lot of wind and very heavy rain and if water can get into your tent, it will.
