Whether you’re chasing waterfalls, relaxing under a canopy of stars, or simply craving a break from your busy life, glamping in the Blue Ridge Mountains is pure magic.
Here are the top 7 reasons to plan your summer glamping trip to Pisgah right now.
1. You're Immersed in the Beauty of Pisgah National Forest
There’s nothing quite like waking up in a cozy cabin surrounded by towering trees, singing birds, and fresh mountain air. The Pisgah National Forest is one of the most iconic natural playgrounds in the U.S., with hundreds of miles of hiking trails, scenic overlooks, and old-growth forests just outside your door.

At Valley Bear Farms, every glamping cabin is positioned to take full advantage of the views and serenity of the forest. Whether you’re sipping coffee on your private deck or enjoying a glass of wine by the fire pit, you’ll feel a deep connection to nature without sacrificing a drop of comfort.
2. Firefly Season is Straight-Up Magical
Ask anyone who’s visited in June or July: firefly season in Pisgah is pure enchantment. As the sun sets over the Blue Ridge Mountains, the trees begin to twinkle with the glow of synchronous fireflies—a rare natural light show that turns our Pisgah glamping resort into something out of a fairy tale.

Instead of roughing it in a tent, you’ll experience this wonder from a climate-controlled luxury cabin, nestled among the trees with the best seat in the house. It’s the perfect setting for romance, reconnection, and awe.
3. You're Just Minutes From World-Class Waterfalls
Some of the best waterfall hikes in Pisgah National Forest are just a short drive from our front gate. From the iconic Looking Glass Falls to the serene Moore Cove Falls, you can explore multiple cascades in one day, then return to your cabin for a well-earned soak in your private tub or a cold drink on the deck.

Plus, summer brings out the best in Pisgah’s rivers, creeks, and swimming holes. It’s the ideal time for spontaneous dips in crystal-clear waters, shady trail adventures, and waterfall picnics with zero crowds.
4. It's Cool - Literally
Let’s be honest—summer in the South can be sweltering. But up here in the Blue Ridge Mountains, you get the best of both worlds: sunny days and cool mountain breezes. Thanks to Pisgah’s elevation, average temps in June, July, and August stay comfortably in the 70s and low 80s, making it the ultimate summer glamping destination.
At Valley Bear Farms, our luxury glamping cabins are tucked away in the shade of the forest with our homes and The A-Frame Collection being fully insulated and air-conditioned, so you can beat the heat with ease—no sweaty tents, no bugs, just pure comfort.
5. Nature and Comfort? You Can Have Both
Gone are the days of sacrificing comfort for adventure. At Valley Bear Farms, glamping means luxury—think plush king beds, organic linens, spa-style bathrooms, and modern kitchens. You’re not just camping with a twist. You’re staying in thoughtfully curated glamping cabins in the Blue Ridge with high-end design and elevated amenities.
All of our units are styled to offer a peaceful, beautiful space to unwind—whether you’re here for a romantic weekend or an extended family stay.
6. The Digital Detox You Didn't Know You Needed
You might arrive at Valley Bear Farms with a to-do list, but trust us: once you step into the forest, your nervous system will thank you. Our property is designed to help you disconnect from the noise of daily life and reconnect to yourself, your people, and the land.
From guided forest walks to sunrise journaling, fire pit conversations to hammock naps, summer glamping in the Pisgah Forest isn’t just a getaway—it’s a full-body exhale.

We do have Wi-Fi (because sometimes you need it), but our guests often choose to log off and lean in to the experience.
