Black Mountain Campground offers 40 campsites (37 primitive and 3 electric) along the South Toe River at 3,040 feet elevation, making it an excellent base for fishing and hiking to Mount Mitchell.

The campground features flush toilets, hot showers, a dump station, and fire rings, with river access for fishing and swimming; note that the final 2-3 miles of access road transitions to gravel with tight switchbacks, making it challenging for large RVs.

The campground operates seasonally (April 15–October 30) and requires advance reservations during peak season, though some first-come, first-served sites are typically available.
