Little Switzerland
Little Switzerland North Carolina is a quaint mountain community in McDowell and Mitchell counties of the High Country region. Nestled just off the Blue Ridge Parkway, south of Spruce Pine NC, Bear Den Campground is happy to call Little Switzerland it's nearest neighboring town.

Originally founded by the North Carolina State Supreme Court Justice Heriot Clarkson as a private resort midway between Asheville & Blowing Rock, Little Switzerland was named thus because of its sweeping vistas reminiscent of the Swiss Jura Mountains.

With breathtaking views, waterfalls, wildflowers, gem mines, homemade treats, handicrafts and unique dining, Little Switzerland continues to draw visitors for the same reasons it did in the early 1900s.

Little Switzerland North Carolina is home to the North Carolina Mineral Museum. Learn the rich history of Gem Mining in North Carolina at the North Carolina Mineral Museum and then head over to one of the Spruce Pine Gem Mines to try your luck as the early mountain miners did. Mt Mitchell State Park, Linville Falls, Grandfather Mountain, Grassy Creek Waterfall, Penland School of Crafts and the Linville Gorge are all a stone's throw from Little Switzerland NC. With endless outdoor activities and plenty of shops to browse, Little Switzerland North Carolina has plenty of Western North Carolina Attractions to infuse your Blue Ridge Mountain Vacation with adventure and serenity.

Both Bear Den Campground and Little Switzerland NC are surrounded by the Pisgah National Forest Early. For Little Switzerland NC Lodging, come to Bear Den and enjoy the best of Little Switzerland North Carolina and Spruce Pine NC.
