About this campground
This area's steep rugged mountainsides, high-elevation balds and hollows are richly diverse, home to unique and rare plants and animals. Look for rock outcrops, lush wildflower displays and high-elevation mountain balds and spruce-fir forests. In June, experience some of the most prolific Rhododendron bloom in the region. Hike for one day or several on the Appalachian National Scenic Trail. Roan Highlands Map Roan Highlands Guide
