The Baying Hound Campground

at Camp Grappalachia

Our unique BJJ-themed campground is located just steps away from the gym and less than 10 minutes from downtown Asheville.

Got a tent? We've got the perfect clearing. Want to skip the tent setup, but still feel like camping? Stay in one of our unique sleeping pods! Feeling fancy? We've got a few glamping tents - while usually reserved for instructors, there's sometimes one still available.
