Hurricane Helene Update
We are open!
We have power, water, and a bath house available. We do not have internet, which means we are unable to reserve for you over the phone but you can walk in and rent a site or reserve online. This also means that we do not have the ability to run cards at this time, but you can use a card if you make your reservation online. If you made a reservation prior to the storm, your reservation stands and your site is being held for you. For any questions, call 828-289-9316.
Contractors are welcome on a short-term or long-term basis.
WELCOME TO
THE HITCHING POST CAMPGROUND
The Hitching Post Campground is located in the Hickory Nut Gorge, just minutes from such attractions as Lake Lure, Chimney Rock State Park, Bat Cave, Rumbling Bald, and the Rocky Broad River. The HP is a tranquil, peaceful resort nestled in a beautiful valley boasting of abundant wildlife and gorgeous scenery, where one can retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
This virtual paradise offers such amenities as a fishing pond, playground, camp store, bath house, and nature trails. The nature trails cover forty-four acres, winding their way around babbling brooks, cascading waterfalls, and flora indigenous to the western North Carolina mountains.
