Naturalist and author John Muir said, "When one tugs at a single thing in nature; he finds it attached to the rest of the world." How true these words are! Everything in nature is connected, but as technology has advanced, we have become disconnected. If you feel a certain empty space in your spirit, it’s time to fill it up! So, leave behind your television sets, remote controllers, and recliners for the mountains of North Carolina, where connecting to Mother Nature is an inevitable event. That’s what all the campers and guests at Balsam Mountain Preserve campground are saying when they spend their vacation enjoying the beauty and activities of the mountain.

Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Balsam Mountain Preserve provides campers with everything they need to have a wonderful time at the Dark Ridge Camp. This campground includes multiple tent sites and enclosed bunkhouses for when the weather is a bit too chilly. Even when you stay in the late summer, expect to sleep wonderfully while camping because the temperatures here in Sylva, never get too hot!
