About
Rendezvous Mountain State Park encompasses 1,800 acres in the Blue Ridge foothills near Purlear, North Carolina, approximately 30 miles east of Boone. The park features steep ravines, gentle valleys, cascading waterfalls, and several small streams flowing through the property. Scenic overlooks provide views of notable Blue Ridge peaks including Grandfather Mountain, Table Rock, and Hawksbill. Despite its listing, Rendezvous Mountain is strictly a day-use park with no overnight camping facilities. The official NC State Parks website confirms there are no camping facilities at this location. The closest state park offering camping is Stone Mountain State Park. Rendezvous Mountain does offer a 70-person capacity picnic shelter available for group reservations at $105 per day, along with an amphitheater, restrooms, and hiking trails. The park operates on extended hours from April through October, with gates open 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekends. Standard winter hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. The access road is gravel, steep, and mostly single-lane with pullouts. Vehicle access ends at the park office.
