Accommodations & Lodging

There are several options available for lodging during your class. Local students often commute from home, some students enjoy staying on our beautiful campus, and others choose to stay in hotels or AirBnBs.

All students, regardless of where you stay, will have access to our campus amenities, including two fully-equipped outdoor kitchens, an outdoor shower, swimming pond, fire pits, and wood-fired sauna.

All students have access to this beautiful sauna in the campground by a stream running through the campground behind the main campus of Wild Abundance just north of Asheville, NC

If you’d like to stay with us on campus, you can reserve the following:

Free onsite camping (you bring your own warm bedding and rainproof tent(max size 4 person) or hammock). Camping is available to all students (including locals) during classes—it is a safe and comfortable option; no students have ever encountered bears during their stay.

Student tents set up on the campground free for students to stay at in the forset behind the Wild Abundance campus
