Hosted by National Park Service
New listing
Located along the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway in the lush green expanses of North Carolina, Julian Price Campground is a top destination for boating, hiking, fishing and more. Whether it's for a family camping excursion or a peaceful getaway, this campground has something for everyone. Canoe rentals are available at Price Lake, and other types of non-motorized boats are permitted. Fishing is also available at the lake, with a dock provided. Price Lake Trail offers a refreshing hike around the edge of the water, and the Boone Fork, Green Knob and Tanawha Trails are just a few of the trails conveniently accessed through the campground. Hebron Falls is a small waterfall accessed from the Boone Fork Trail, and The Cascades is a beautiful waterfall reached by the easy 1-mile loop Cascades Trail, a great hike for children. Moses Cone Flat Top Manor, a historic estate house once owned by the Cone family and currently undergoing restoration, offers 25 miles of carriage roads to hike, tours of the home, and houses the Southern Highland Craft Guild. Wildlife viewing is also popular, as campers have a good chance of spotting bears, grouse, turkeys, owls, hawks and more. Julian Price Campground combines the traditional great outdoors experience with the modern conveniences of flush toilets, a dump station and drinking water. Both RV and tent sites are available, equipped with grills, picnic tables and lantern poles. In addition to the 75 sites available for advance reservations, 115 sites are available first-come, first-served and must be booked in person at the campground kiosk. Primitive backcountry camping is available at Johns River Road; permits are required and are not distributed at the park. Julian Price Campground is adjacent to Price Lake, a pristine body of water that sparkles against the backdrop of rolling Carolina hills. The surrounding forest offers hemlock, white pine, oak, hickory and birch trees, along with a colorful assortment of wildflowers in the spring and an array of vivid orange and red foliage displays in autumn. 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 Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina. The beautiful town of Blowing Rock, located just 20 minutes away on the Blue Ridge Parkway, offers fine dining, shopping and more.
