Campground across gravel road from double train tracks, trains came by two to three times per day, several times at night. No signage to help locate property, took an hour to locate with GPS. Only communication with host was text sent by mom. Beautiful area, comfortable bed. Will not return.

Perfect solo getaway

This place was wonderful, peaceful and exactly as shown. Tents are cozy and simplistic. River can be heard all night while sleeping and a train track runs behind property so you get the occasional sound of the train, which I found enjoyable. The best part we’re hosts Toni and Marty. Truly friendly, warm, helpful hosts for a single girl struggling to build a fire. I would definitely love to stay here again in the future ❤️❤️💕💕💕

Fantastic Stay

The property is absolutely beautiful and in a prime location. My group was able to hike Mt. Mitchell over our new years stay. It is an awesome set up at Rusty's Roost.

About the host

Rusty's Roost is U.S. Veteran owned and family operated.

Why they chose this property

I’ve always been a big component for bringing families and friends together and getting kids to explore the outdoors. Rusty’s Roost River Camp offers the common comforts we’re accustomed too while still encouraging families and friends to put down the phones and get outside. The biggest reward so far is seeing the pictures of families making memories somewhere I created. These memories will outlast any tablet or video game. Grab a pole, hop on a tube and enjoy this beautiful place.
