Balsam Mountain Campground remains a rustic retreat, as no hookups or showers are available, and the restrooms are without lights. The campsites, paved for convenience, require reservations, and the maximum lengths allowed for RVs and trailers are 24 feet. Additionally, a leash-no-longer-than-six-feet policy ensures that pets can join in the outdoor fun, with specific guidelines allowing pet-friendly exploration on designated roads and trails. While enjoying the scenic surroundings, campers are reminded that pets are not permitted on any other trails within the park, ensuring a harmonious coexistence with the diverse natural ecosystem.
Amidst mountain ranges and babbling streams, Balsam Mountain Campground offers a tranquil escape at an elevation of 5,310 feet (~1,618 meters). Embraced by the cool mountain air, summer daytime temperatures rarely surpass 70°F (~21°C), creating an idyllic environment for campers seeking respite from warmer climates. The campground features RV and tent sites, complemented by essential amenities such as flush toilets and drinking water to enhance the camping experience.
