Parkway Campgrounds

All Parkway Campgrounds offer restrooms, drinking water, picnic tables and grills. Showers are only available at Mt. Pisgah Campground and Price Park Campground. To make a reservation or find details about which public campgrounds are open and have availability, visit www.recreation.gov. Camping in the Parkway's Campgrounds is only allowed when the campground is open.

Camping on Parkway lands outside of designated campgrounds or without a permit at backcountry sites is prohibited.

The Parkway's eight campgrounds were built years ago and do not currently offer RV hookups. Most Parkway campgrounds have at least some sites that will accommodate sizeable recreational vehicles. There are many private campgrounds in communities available just off the Parkway with full RV hookups and amenities.
