Campgrounds open early may to October, no camping outside campgrounds

The Blue Ridge Parkway, nicknamed “America’s Favorite Drive,” is a 469-mile scenic route connecting the Great Smoky Mountains and Shenandoah National Parks. North Carolina is home to 252 miles of Parkway, which meander through two national forests and offer campgrounds, picnic areas, lodges, restaurants and countless scenic overlooks
and hikes. The Parkway is popular during the autumn for its beautiful foliage.

The following facilities are open year-round...
Museum of North Carolina Minerals near Spruce Pine, NC (Milepost 331)
Folk Art Center near Asheville, NC (Milepost 382)
Parkway Visitor Center near Asheville, NC (Milepost 384)

The Parkway connects Shenandoah National Park near Waynesboro, VA (Milepost 0) with Great Smoky Mountains National Park near Cherokee, NC (Milepost 469). There are entrances and exits at all major federal and state highways and part of a Parkway experience is getting into the towns and communities of the region.
Asheville and Boone, NC and Roanoke, VA are the largest cities along the way.
In Virginia, Interstates 64, 81, and 77 all have directions for accessing the Parkway. The same is true for Interstates 40 and 26 in North Carolina.

Great Smoky Mountains National Park

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the largest protected land area
east of the Rocky Mountains and the most visited national park in the United
States. Although it saddles two states, the majority of the park lies within
North Carolina: 276,000 acres of forest and trails welcome hikers, bikers and
equestrians. Rivers, streams and lakes offer some of the best canoeing,
kayaking and whitewater rafting in the country.
