  • Frustrating isn't it? I've camped at Pisgah several times and really like it. We go in the summer to stay cool. Last week we wanted to go to Balsam Mtn, but its closed also. Ended up and Mile High, a private campground off the same road as Balsam Mt. They were pretty much full, but we got two spaces and it was nice and COOL, about 72 for a daytime high, at 5400 ft elevation. Its a shame all the Federal stuff is closed, its pushing people to the private campgrounds and they are overrun.

    We drove by there a month ago and the CG was closed then. The Mt Pisgah Inn and country store were open
  • Just did Cherokee to Boone. No campgrounds, no visitor centers open, only a couple of restrooms open. Nice run, not crowded. Smoky Mtn. NP...mobbed!
  • Recreation.gov says closed.
