North Mountain Campsite

Guests must bring all gear, food, and water, and pack out all trash and waste. A camp toilet is required. Perfect base camp for hikers and backpackers. The Tuscarora Trail is easily accessed via the Biby Trailhead just 0.8 miles down Timber Ridge Road. The site sits near the midpoint of one of the trail’s most scenic stretches (Gore to Trout Pond), making it ideal for day hikes, section hikes, or multi-day trips. Long-term vehicle parking for hikers can be arranged with advance notice. Beyond hiking, enjoy miles of quiet paved and dirt roads for walking, biking, or horseback riding. Down the mountain, guests have access to community recreation areas including grassy fields, a baseball diamond, playground, fishing ponds, and a scenic lake (low water at times). The campsite is accessible by 2WD in good conditions, but 4WD is strongly recommended, especially in rain, snow, or ice. Vehicles can drive directly into the cleared camping area. Each site includes a stone fire pit. The space works well for one large group or multiple smaller groups (larger groups with advance notice). Tom’s Market is just 10 minutes (4 miles) away for gas, snacks, firewood, and supplies. Whether you’re here to hike the Tuscarora, explore quiet mountain roads, or unwind by the fire under cool pine-scented air, this North Mountain campsite offers a peaceful and unforgettable mountaintop escape.
