Tent Camping at Camp Driftwood 

There is no better way to enjoy the great outdoors than camping! Or is there?? We think so! How about enjoying the splendor of the mountains from the banks of one of the Oldest Rivers in the World? And also be able to see some great live music in downtown Asheville in less than 15 minutes?!? Spend the day playing in the rapids, tubing the length of the camp, raft section 6 of the French Broad, or running your SUP down to your campsite from the Ledges Water Park. Then head into one of the best little cities in the world for amazing food and great live music, 15 minute Uber ride to the Salvage Station!! Book a campsite or if none of those work for you -consider staying with us in one of our Glamping Cottages or Vacation Houses!  **Sorry, no RV's or campers
