Near Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Within a 30-minute drive from the Oconaluftee Visitor Center.
Full RV hookups
Electrical, water, and sewage hookups are available at all sites.
Off-leash friendly
Pets can be off-leash at some sites.
Please read the entire listing because I have updated this page and renovated the property! Pull down a paved road and get out of your car and sit down at a picnic table in front of a private waterfall! This site has a pull through, full hookup spot with 30amp for campers but tents are always welcome or a combination of the two. I've had a 33' camper, popup camper and 6 tents at this campsite all at the same time so there plenty of room for your family and friends! We're 2.5 miles from the Cherokee Casino and 3.5 miles from down town Cherokee If you're tired of crowded campgrounds then you'll love the privacy this campground offers. This is now a two site campground with each site being around 100' away from the other site with trees and vegetation growing in between, you more or less cant see on site from the other from May until November. There is a orange cone that marks the border of the two sites. One set of campers will not be allowed on the other campers campsite, if this happens you will be evicted with no refund. Check in is at 2pm and check out is at 12pm. There is a house and a church on the same road so please drive slowly. No shooting firearms, (although you may hear people shooting firearms because you will be camping in the mountains) but your more than welcome to bring your firearms. Its better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.   No fireworks. No making trails or collecting firewood (This is not because I want to sell you firewood, its because I want to have the property remain as pristine as possible) Do not cut down trees alive or dead  If you move picnic tables please move them back Dogs are permitted but contact before you book the site to confirm if your dog will be a good fit. If you know your dog barks constantly of other people while camping then it will not be a good fit. I charge for dogs the same as I do for extra guests There is a small Church around 200 yards from the campground. They hold services every Wednesday and Sunday. They generally start around 5pm and it lasts around a hour. If your into that they would love to have you come down. The EBCI opened a dispensary around 3 miles from the campground. It will open to all adults over 21 starting September 7th 2024. Message me with any questions you have ​ ​

We'll be back!!
As advertised, we had a beautiful waterfall and roaring stream all to our private selves. A clean hot shower to boot! There is a road nearby, but it was completely hidden by height and foliage, and any sound must have been drowned out by the stream. I plan to come back and bring some kids to romp in the water!!

Natural beauty plus convenience
Richard was the most gracious and helpful host I’ve had in any travel situation. He offers the gift of his spectacular, ancestral land. The place is beautiful. The amenities make for an easy, comfortable stay requiring minimal prep if you like to travel light or with a family. The site is private, secure, and natural while also just a quick drive to stores, delicious restaurants and wonderful trails along the Blue Ridge Parkway. I would have stayed forever if possible !

We (and our dogs) loved camping at Richard's site. The combination of natural beauty, location, privacy, and amenities was truly amazing. To boot, Richard was a great host--communicative and responsive. I will definitely be back!

Tranquil oasis
Nestled in a secluded corner of pristine wilderness, this private waterfall campground is a true hidden gem. As someone who cherishes solitude and natural beauty, I couldn't have stumbled upon a more perfect retreat. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle, yet conveniently accessible, the campground offers a serene escape. The campsites are well-maintained and Each site offers a fire pit and ample space for tents and an RV full hookup, blending rustic charm with modern convenience. There is a flushing toilet and a shower with hot water. The centerpiece of this campground is undoubtedly the majestic waterfall. Cascading over moss-covered rocks, we were able unwind and reconnect with nature. Whether you're a photographer seeking the perfect shot or simply yearning for a peaceful moment, the waterfall's allure is irresistible. Absolutely amazing! Thank you Richard for sharing your land with us!
