Camping in the Old Style
Check hours of operation before visiting a business. Be prepared with water, food, and first-aid supplies when exploring outdoors.
October 12 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
Included with site admission
The Cradle of Forestry in America invites the public to explore a re-created campsite of the early 1900’s during its “Camping in the Old Style” event. A classic camping interpretive team known as the Acorn Patrol demonstrates the low-tech/high-skill approach as practiced in the outdoors during what some historians consider the Golden Age of Camping.
Additionally, the Pisgah Chapter of Backcountry Horseman will be on site with a pack horse. Attendees can learn more about the organization, what they do and the equipment they utilize to maintain trails throughout Pisgah National Forest.
