Learn more about this land: This primitive campsite is located 5 minutes from the Abrams Creek Ranger Station at the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It is private, shaded, and next to a small stream that will lull you to sleep at night. There is a bathhouse with a composting toilet and cold shower available. An old concrete picnic table stands as a testament to the enjoyment and relaxation of several generations and is now glad to be uncovered and open for many generations to come. There are numerous species of wild flora and fauna right there in your campsite! Across the fence is an old barn and field that will remind you of mountain living from days gone by. You will have access to miles of backcountry hiking once you take the 5 minute drive to the GSMNP and you can come back to your campsite and enjoy your privacy! You may also enjoy motorcycling on the dragon which is 5 miles at the end of Happy Valley Road. Or...maybe you just want to hang up the hammock and listen to the frogs and watch the fireflies. Whatever your hobby is, this campsite is the place to call home.This primitive campsite is located 5 minutes from the Abrams Creek Ranger Station at the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Happy Valley Hideaway

This was a really nice spot! It was pretty quick access into the park and still close enough to town to run and grab things we forgot or ran out of. We didn't utilize the site to its full potential because we were there for hiking and spending time in the Smoky Mountains. But the composting toilet and outdoor solar showers were a huge bonus! When you've been hot and sweaty all day, there is nothing like coming back to your campsite and having some small comforts of home. Sharon checked in on us and gave us some pointers while we were there. She really did a wonderful in job in making it a lovely place to call home for the week! We've already talked about possibly coming for a stay in the spring to get a whole different experience of the mountains.

Great site. Very cozy and secluded, with exactly as much space as we wanted for our family and pup. Great hiking is close by, and we had no trouble at all finding firewood at the site and on the nearby trail. Truly a home away from home for us. The restroom is very helpful if you need to talk the family into going camping as well 😄

Sharon and Matt are great hosts. When it rained, Matt came out and set up some tarps over our tents when we were not there, it was very helpful. They offered tubes and kayaks that they have. I have been there 3 years in a row now and plan on going back

Lovely nook in the Smokey

“There are so many interesting things out here”. Kids loved the fairy houses, “oldtimey phone”, turnstile… one pitched a hammock over the creek. It’s a little magical nook in the woods. No cell service, get directions to your next stop before you get out into the hills.

nice tucked away spot right outside the park, the outhouse and bath house are nice to have especially after living completely outdoors for several days although we didn’t use the bath house because it was freezing outside 😂 sharon was very kind, we’d definitely come back again!
