Free Camping in North Carolina
45 places • Page 1 of 2
Pisgah and Nantahala national forests cover over a million acres of the Southern Appalachians. Dispersed camping is legal throughout the backcountry. The Appalachian Trail runs 300 miles through the state — the Roan Highlands section is some of the best highland hiking in the East.
Every listing below links to a full location page with a live weather forecast, a map, and nearby outdoor spots within 8 miles — trails to hike, swimming holes to cool off in, and local events. No other free camping directory shows you what's around the site. Trek4Free does.
