Overlanding / Camping in Appalachia

[L8apex]

What are some of your favorite places to overland / camp?

One of my favorite trails to hike is the Art Loeb. There is one old railroad path (Ivestor Gap) that runs parallel to a section of the Art Loeb that I've seen overlanders on, driving in and setting up camp. It seems like the perfect use for the Bronco - set up base camp and then do some long day hikes out into the Shining Rock Wilderness / Pisgah National Forest. Not my video:


Do you guys have any recommendations?

Van Riper park in Upper Michigan – there’s no great sightseeing or lots of trails with different trails for hiking or biking., and honestly there’s not much to recommend unless you like to be calm and peaceful. It’s a typical standard campground. https://wildproofgear.com/tips-for-camping-on-a-budget/
Anyway, I camped there as a kid and I’ve camped there as an adult. It’s gorgeous and quiet.

I'm in Greensboro (Bronco delivery in the next 2 weeks!) we've really only done OBX and Uwharrie for Overlanding and plan to do both with the Bronco. We had a plan to do Hurricane Creek but the engine in the XJ decided it needed to be removed so I am without a 4x4 until either the new engine shows up OR the bronco gets delivered.

Any good beginner spots other than uwharie in NC?

Brown Mt. is pretty solid. Think it opens for the season pretty soon.

I live in Waynesville NC and I was able to do Hurricane Creek back in November. I plan to explore Pisgah National Forest for long day trips and overnight trips. I think that most important think to not do is go out be yourself. I would be happy to meet up with other people who are interested in going out to Piegan National Forest / roads.

In addition, I just stated a NC club on Bronco6G so I can connect more people around the area.
