Just found a great camp down that road thanks to you. It was a gorgeous spot. Thanks!

[@weekendsinavan5503]

Glad to hear you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!!

[@ncbirdwatch5992]

Great videos that you’re putting out, great videography. We love living in WNC and have camped, hiked & fished many places. I hadn’t thought to much of the FSR though we have been on a few over the years. I’m going to have to find some good forestry road maps and head out and spend more time camping and fishing those smaller creeks. Great content, new sub and fan. Maybe we’ll see you out there sometime down the road!

You mentioned you purchased some forest road maps. Are you able to tell me where I may find them, please? Planning a trip Easter weekend in Pisgah!
Stumbled on your channel while trying to trip plan. Love videos and the van ofc!
Thanks

We enjoy every video y’all put out!

[@van_demonium]

Thank you this is getting me through this sloppy salty winter here in NH.

[@weekendsinavan5503]

Thanks, I can only imagine! It’s been pretty wet here as well. You never know when the rain will start again.

[@donnierakes9117]

How do you go about finding these forestry roads? Love to go there and explore them thanks and great videos!

[@weekendsinavan5503]

It took quite a bit of research but you can find some maps of the area at Brown Mountain Beach Resort on Wilson Creek. They are located in the coffee shop on the road. Or you can visit pisgahmapcompany.com for their full list of locations to buy, download the maps, or order physical copies. The map I use the most is Grandfather Ranger District. Thanks for watching!!

[@cheryllamb8831]

Beautiful camping spot! Since I'm relatively new to WNC I'll need to pick up a few forestry maps also, and watch some more of your videos.

[@weekendsinavan5503]

Definitely pick up maps on places your interested in. Get the ones that show all the forestry roads and enjoy! Thanks

[@davemenard5089]

Thanks for sharing. I’m always trying to find spots to Van camp in this beautiful territory. Will need to check out your videos ✌🏼

[@weekendsinavan5503]

Thanks! Glad you liked it! Most places have a lot to explore.

Greatride ;)

[@weekendsinavan5503]

Thanks!

[@vonwesty3544]

Great camping adventure video! It gets more difficult to find camping spots in national forest areas this time of year in Western NC, East TN, and North GA.

[@weekendsinavan5503]

Yes it does! Everything shutdowns and it doesn’t leave many options to camp in this area. Hopefully I can find a few more spots before all the roads are closed for the season! Thanks for watching!!

[@melvalively7846]

Food always taste so much better cooked outside over a fire.

[@weekendsinavan5503]

Yes it does!!

[@marcusegan6758]

music is over the top

[@weekendsinavan5503]

Thanks for the feedback! Any recommendations would be great!

[@leroythegreat]

is that a syncro? great vid!

[@weekendsinavan5503]

I wish!! Thanks!

[@chitstirrer]

I can't find anything online on 228. Searched every way I know how.

[@weekendsinavan5503]

You drive up Hwy 181. It on the left before the Brown Mountain Lights pull off.

[@akseakayaker]

Please everyone be cautious when bringing your own firewood from other locations as you could accidentally introduce and spread harmful insects.

[@williamadair1260]

Where is this? Nc or TN

[@weekendsinavan5503]

It is North Carolina.

[@TIMWHY2]

Just my kind of spot...no people, lol.

[@weekendsinavan5503]

It getting harder to find theses spots with no people! Lol
