Springmaid Mountain Retreat & Stables

What sets Springmaid Mountain Retreat & Stables apart is its seamless blend of tranquility, natural beauty, and diverse recreational opportunities on 400 secluded acres along the North Toe River. Just a mile and a half from the iconic Blue Ridge Parkway, this year-round destination combines forested privacy with access to mountain activities like horseback riding, fishing, hiking, and river tubing.

The campground offers a range of site options to suit different camping preferences, from primitive sites along the river for an authentic outdoor experience to cleared spaces for tents, pop-ups, and RVs up to 36 feet in length. On-site amenities include a well-maintained bathhouse with showers and restrooms, while rustic group sites provide a perfect base for Scout troops or family gatherings. Visitors can enjoy five fishing ponds, a swinging bridge over the river, and the peaceful sounds of waterfalls—all within the property itself.

Located just minutes from Spruce Pine, North Carolina, the campground also provides easy access to charming local attractions, including small-town shops, restaurants, and the surrounding natural wonders of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Its mix of amenities and serene setting makes Springmaid Mountain ideal for everything from weekend retreats to extended outdoor escapes.
