Crabtree Falls Campground

<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>What many consider to be the hidden gem of Blue Ridge Parkway campgrounds, Crabtree Falls Campground offers a quiet serenity that appeals to campers as well as wildlife.  It is a magical place when mist hangs in the air, as coyote and deer tiptoe through and barred owls call out.  Crabtree Falls, a spectacular 70-foot waterfall which is one of the most photographed in the area, is accessible from the campground.</p>
<h2>Recreation</h2>
<p><strong>Crabtree Falls Trail</strong> - a 3-mile loop trail considered moderate to strenuous.  The trail has many wildflowers, towering trees, and lots of stairs!  Crabtree Falls is a 70 -foot waterfall, plunging into a deep pool.  Be sure to carry drinking water.</p>
<p><strong>Mount Mitchell State Park</strong> - highest peak east of the Mississippi:  15 miles south of Crabtree Falls Campground.  Enjoy the observation tower with a 360-degree view or the Crest of the <strong>Black Mountains Trail</strong> and CCC-era log picnic shelters.</p>
<p><strong>Green Knob Lookout Tower  </strong>- a restored CCC Fire Tower: 10 miles south of Crabtree Falls  Campground.  A half-mile climb from the Green Knob Overlook.  Enjoy beautiful views of Mt Mitchell and the Black Mountain peaks.</p>
<p><strong>The Museum of North Carolina Minerals</strong> - at Milepost 331, about 9 miles north of Crabtree Falls Campground.  The museum highlights the area's rich mineral resources and it's mining heritage.  Discover hands-on, interactive exhibits that explore the creation of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the 3,000 year-old saga of mining.</p>
<p><strong>Overmountain Victory Trail</strong> - recognizing the Revolutionary War Overmountain Men, patriots from what is now East Tennessee, who crossed the Unaka Mountains and then fought the Battle of Kings Mountain in South Carolina.  Access the <strong>Orchard Trail</strong> portion from behind the Minerals Museum and hike about 5 miles to Lynn Gap.  </p>
<h2>Facilities</h2>
<p>The campground offers comfortable tent or RV camping, with the convenience of flush toilets, dump station, and drinking water.  Grills/fire rings and picnic tables at each site create a perfect environment for family barbeques or late-night marshmallow roasting. </p>
<p>In addition to the 27 sites available for advance reservations, 54 campsites are available on a first come, first served basis.  Availability of first come, first served sites cannot be tracked through Recreation.gov.  These sites must be booked in person at the campground kiosk.</p>
<h2>Natural Features</h2>
<p>Named for the crabapple trees which once polka-dotted the countryside with their brilliant pink blossoms, the 253-acre Crabtree Falls Recreation Area in North Carolina contains meadows which still speak of the area's long history as a farming community.  Bursting with wildflowers  (including hawthorne, beard tongue, mountain laurel and gentian) in the spring, the meadows  abut towering hardwood forests of oak, birch, and hickory, and are often dotted with thickets of rhododendrons.  The Blue Ridge Parkway is a scenic byway that follows the high crests of the central and southern Appalachians for 469 miles--from Shenandoah National Park in Virginia to the Great Smokey Mountains National Park in North Carolina.  The Parkway offers many natural attractions and recreational opportunities for visitors.</p>

<h2>Nearby Attractions</h2>
<p><strong>Orchard at Altapass:</strong>  Started after the Revolutionary War, this orchard has a long and interesting history.</p>
