Getting Outdoors
Understandably, most people go camping at Chimney Rock State Park to climb the rock itself and enjoy views over Lake Lure and Hickory Nut Gorge. Once upon a time, hundreds of stairs had to be tackled to reach the top. Nowadays, visitors have two choices. Once you’ve driven up the windy three-mile road in your trusty RV rental, either climb the 500 steps to the top or pay to ride a convenient elevator to the top. Both options will lead you to the same viewing platform, looking out at the same awe-inspiring view.
Camping at Chimney Rock State Park
It’s not possible to set up camp in Chimney Rock State Park itself, but there are plenty of alternatives, just a short drive away.

We have NEVER camped in a RV, and knew nothing about the experience, so we rented “Tiny Adventures” in anticipation of purchasing a new Class C. The owners were INCREDIBLY thorough and effective in both the advice and instruction they gave us. First, they talked us out of boondocking as a first-time experience (good thing! 😊). They took the time to answer all of our initial questions, and spent TWO HOURS training us on how everything works!!

We were grateful to Sarah and Josh for renting their van to us. It is well equipped with supplies to use for the week, labeled cabinets and good cooking equipment and linens for the van. Good instruction on use of the van and systems. We were able to comfortably travel all around Western NC. This van was a good fit for us exploring what travel and lodging would be like using a campervan with poptop. We look forward to more van travel. Using outdoorsy to try a van for travel was a seamless experience.
