Mount Mitchell is the tallest mountain in the United States east of the Mississippi River. The peak sits at 6,684 feet and is surrounded by hiking trails, scenic driving and biking roads, picnic areas, and campgrounds.

Black Mountain Campground is a seasonal campground in Pisgah National Forest with toilets, showers, tent pads, and a camp store. Along with camping, the area boasts plentiful parking, fishing access, and access to hiking trails. All campsites have to be reserved through the Forest Service. The paved road leads to the campground entrance, but there is also a forest road to the southwest (South Toe River Road), which offers the ability to make some awesome gravel riding loops.

If attempting to do the Black Mountain Crest Trail (aka, Deep Gap Trail) in its entirety, this is the parking area to leave a second car. There is no actual shuttle for this hike to take you back to your starting point, but having someone pick you up here works as your own, personal shuttle. You can leave your car parked up here overnight, but you can not camp in this area.

Just down the road from Spivey Gap Trailhead is Spivey Gap Recreation Area, which offers camping amenities. The parking at Spivey Gap Trailhead is just some pull-off spaces on the side of the road. The Appalachian Trail climbs from the road in both directions from here.

The Black Mountain Crest Trail is an ~11 mile trail journeying from Bowlens Creek to the summit of Mount Mitchell. You can do the trail as an out-and-back in one big push, as an overnight backpacking trip, or as a point-to-point by getting a ride at the top or parking a car at the summit parking lot. The trail begins on an old forest road after crossing a creek (either getting your feet wet or crossing an old, rickety bridge). There are limited parking spots near the start. Mount Mitchell is the tallest mountain east of the Mississippi River. You can plan to cross over several 6,000 foot peaks during your trek from here to the high point.
