There is a nice park near UNCA where you won't be bothered in North Asheville off of Merrimon. Down in the river arts district there are many abandoned buildings and factories.  Warren Wilson CollegeIf you take bus 170 to Warren Wilson College, there are forests and hiking trails very close to the campus where camping is allowed. There are evn even some treehouses and abandoned housesthere.The students are friendly to travelers and are able to procure food for you from the cafeteria at no cost to them (tell them to use their 'flex dollars' or to get a to- go plate from glad). There is free wifi in all buildings. Be wary of sleeping in dorms and common areas because security or staff will ID you after a few days and kick you off campus. There are work crews on campus such as the garden, farm, and landscaping crews which might appreciate volunteers, if you want something to do. There is also food not bombs every week in Pritchard park.
