Such a beautiful piece of land. My husband our dog an I had a wonderful time at a farm. Site 4 is beautiful with easy access to river. Catherine and Rick are very nice and helpful. Make sure to try the Italian sausage while you're at the farm.

Two Thumbs Up! 👍🏼👍🏼
Where do I begin?! My wife and I decided to celebrate our three year wedding anniversary roughing it in WNC. Our first time experience with Hipcamp was a huge success thanks to Catherine and Rick for an unforgettable time spent on their beautifully sculpted masterpiece of a ranch! Too good to be true?? Guess again! From rolling hills to vibrant meadows nestled in between, the pictures simply don’t do it justice. Once we arrived, Rick greeted us with a kind, warm welcome, making check-in a snap. He eagerly escorted us to our campsite (No. 7) where we were soon immersed into an authentic Appalachian paradise. The campsite featured plush, green grass (no shoes necessary) complimented by a gentle, sleepy creek meandering around the perimeter. A variety of hardwoods lined the creek bank, providing a serene atmosphere, boasting ample shade to host a picnic on the hottest of days. We opted for the tour (highly recommend). On our second day, Catherine showed us around the ranch, educating us on her diverse community of livestock: donkeys, hogs, and chickens. She gave us a brief tour of her exclusive Air B&B, 17 Degrees North, which offered a spectacular view of the valley abroad. Catherine was quite knowledgeable as well as a delight to be around! If you’re looking for a memorable camping trip, I definitely recommend giving this place a whirl because Smoky Mountain River Ranch will do everything but disappoint!

Wow! Thank you for sharing the stunning beauty of your land! We appreciate your welcoming, flexible arrival and were able to make a quick home on the knoll! The sunset and rainbow over the river on our last night were pure magic. We cannot wait to return!

Beautiful quiet camping
Wow, this place is lovely and quiet. The campsites are not right on top of each other which was an added bonus for me. Catherine & Rick have looked after the small details, great instructions on how to get to your site, well marked water supply, Adirondack chairs situated at scenic points, port-o-lets convenient to each site. This attention to detail allowed me to get serious about relaxing.
The location is convenient to many hikes, Hot Springs Motorcycle Route and 45 minutes from Max Patch trailhead.
Buy the bacon, take the farm tour, swim/ fish in the Pidgeon River and unwind.
