Brevard,NC.

Thinking of going to Brevard,NC. The week of the 4th of July,Can anyone give us some insight on this area? Thanks
  • We love Davidson River. Cradle of Forestry is awesome, the falls, Blue Ridge Parkway to name few. We camped for a week and found a lot to do in the area. Dolly's ice cream and Hog Wild BBQ are must do
  • Brevard is cool area, Pisgah Natl forest area!

    Also look up Dupont Forest, hiking, Mtn Biking, lots of waterfalls.

    Sliding Rock, Looking Glass Falls, Cradle of Forestry and going tubing.

    Dupont -Hunger games filmed parts there, alos Last of Mohicans.

    Camping wise:

    Davidson River is excellent (although 4th weeekend looks booked).

    or try

    Ash Grove

    Not far from Asheville, also as far as checking out that area.

  • Brevard is in Transylvania County and is home to numerous beautiful waterfalls. We were in that area a few years ago. The best thing I can recommend is to go to this website: www.visitwaterfalls.com

    Across top of the page, check out 'Plan Visit' to get an idea of what to see/do in Brevard. Then click on 'Outdoors' and select 'Waterfalls' to read about and see some of the waterfalls....at the bottom of that page, you can download a map of all their locations.

    We were staying in Maggie Valley, but took some day trips to the Brevard area, so I am not familiar with RV parks there, but I feel sure the website has some listed.

    You are near Cold Mountain, scene of the book and movie of that name.
