Discover Grandfather Mountain State Park RV rentals for memorable road trips
In the northwestern corner of North Carolina, Grandfather Mountain State Park is located on a mountain that was privately owned until 2008. The mountain can trace its literary history back to 1794 when Botanist Andre Michaux wrote that he’d climbed “the highest peak in all of North America.” Because of the mountain’s sharp edges and dramatic sweeping views, it often appears to be far taller than it actually is.

Camping at Grandfather Mountain State Park
Although backcountry camping is permitted at Grandfather Mountain State Park, there are no state park RV campgrounds available for campers to use. There are, however, many campgrounds in the area surrounding the park at which you’ll be able to stay one night or many. To the northeast of the state park is Boone KOA, just north of Boone. The KOA has the standard Kampgrounds of America setup, including full hookup sites, plenty of amenities, and diverse activities to keep the whole family entertained.
Exploring the Area
Boone, which is a short drive northeast of Grandfather Mountain State Park, is a great place to head with the family for a day in town. The Children’s Playhouse is a Children’s Museum that focuses on engaging children through play while simultaneously educating them. The museum has both indoor and outdoor features, so when the weather is less than agreeable, this is a fantastic way to spend some energy.

This camper was perfect. The pop up creates another bedroom - when most vans sleep 2, this one easily sleeps 4 - that's a game changer for us with kids. It's in great condition, easy to set up, and fun to drive.

Matthew and Ashley’s camper is awesome and they were great hosts! The camper was very well decorated and stocked with everything you need at a campsite including table, cook stove, all the hookups, and tons of extra touches like an outdoor rug and shoe rack. It was perfect for my family of four. We will definitely rent it again.
