Park your RV, rig, pop-up camper, mini-schoolie, or tricked-out van at the Baying Hound Campground! This is a pull-in parking spot with power hookup only (no water or sewer). We can accommodate vehicles of approximately 25 feet. We're a short 10 minutes to downtown Asheville, with easy access to affordable ride-shares. You'll have access to an indoor toilet and sinks, outdoor shower with warm water, hang-out areas, a community fire pit and winding hand-made trails. *No RV/vehicle is provided. *
The space The space The Overlander Spot is in our parking area, located on a semi-private, dead-end road that we share with two neighbors. We can only accommodate vehicles of approximately 25 feet. Electric hookup is available, though we do not offer water or sewer hookup.
While there are some comfy indoor & outdoor hangout areas, we do not allow campers to sleep in or set up long-term there. These are shared, monitored spaces and ask that guests be mindful of others. Guests who reserve our "Overlander Spot" site are expected to sleep in their vehicles.
THE CAMPGROUND The Baying Hound Campground is where rural Appalachia meets “keep Asheville weird.” You’ll see sleeping pods decorated by professional artists, structures made from upcycled building materials and permaculture experiments in the making. We’ve been described as “if a European hostel and an Appalachian campground had a baby.” Not quite glamping and definitely not KOA, we're happy to offer you a more social alternative to cookie-cutter lodging without breaking the bank.

Things we DO NOT provide: linens, towels, pillows, sleeping bags, sleeping pads, indoor showers, microwave, fridge, kitchen, bug spray, control over the weather, control over our neighbors (or their animals), beautiful mountain-top views, secluded remote sites
Things we DO provide: a funky unique atmosphere, proximity to downtown, opportunity to meet other interesting campers, lodging in Asheville that won't break the bank, complimentary farm noises, did we mention we’re less than 10 minutes from downtown?
*The great outdoors will have more dirt than a hotel and less aspects that can be closely controlled - please keep that in mind when rating your stay.
GETTING AROUND There is a bus stop about 30 minutes walk away from the campground, though the roads are not terribly safe for walking (no shoulder, windy, and drivers who are training for Nascar). If you get an Uber/Lyft into town from our spot, it typically costs about $15-20 at peak hours.
PET POLICY We are pet friendly, but for the safety and consideration of other guests and neighbors, all pets should be on a leash, under control, quiet, and not left unattended. Please be sure to pick up after your pets. If your furry pal is being loud or aggressive, we reserve the right to ask you to kindly find a better lodging option. We will gladly offer a refund for the nights not used (minus the AirBnB service charge).
WINTER DISCLAIMER Between NOVEMBER and MARCH, we can not guarantee access to our outdoor solar shower or outdoor sink due to occasional sub-freezing temperatures. While we still allow winter reservations, please be aware that conditions are on the more primitive side of "primitive camping" and we highly recommend you come prepared for winter camping.
*NO LOCALS, PLS* We love our local community, but our accommodations are intended for out-of-town visitors. If your phone number starts with 828 or your home is within 20 miles of Asheville, we unfortunately can't accept your booking.
Please note that you may not sleep in any common areas - just in/on the vehicle you rolled up in! :)
