Private Cave Creek RV Site
Great Camper Site in Franklin
This site is right off the road, but the road is way back in the valley with barely any traffic. And it's hard to overstate how great it is to have a campsite this private but still with a full hookup. No having to rush showers and then figure out where to dump the tanks on the way home! Plus our dogs love the open free area. Hosts are great too! We have camped here twice and plan to return in the future.

Absolute GEM in the Mountains!
A true gem in the mountains. A creek to play in, a field to run, hummingbirds in the morning and fireflies in the evening. How can I say enough about this place?! Huge site w FULL HOOK UPS. A large fire ring, two picnic tables and the hosts are a wonderful couple who understand that those booking here love nature and are seeking privacy. You have use of the whole
site, a big field below it and a creek. It’s huge! There’s also an enchanting pottery gallery filled with work that Doug created. As an artist myself, I LOVED this added feature. Our daughter is 2 and our puppy is 7 months old and they both enjoyed being here SO MUCH. They were able to run free and play in the field and the creek to their hearts content.
It is such a game changer from being in a campground. Private and secluded but yet only about 20 mins to town. It’s a great launching point for waterfall chasing or anything else you may want to do. We even made the drive up to Grandfather Mountain one day!
Our last night here, the sky was so clear that we tossed a quilt on the ground and star gazed. It was so beautiful.
As another reviewer mentioned -there is zero cell signal up here so definitely download the map for offline use.
We truly had such a special time here. We cannot thank Patti & Doug enough for opening their beautiful place to us and for their warm hospitality.

We Enjoyed our stay here with our family very much. patti greeted us on arrival and getting set up was easy. Our kids and dogs enjoyed exploring the creek and climbing trees. Our dogs were also free to run around which we loved as well. Just the openness but yet sucluded place felt so cozy and peaceful. Def plan on coming back for a longer stay.

Private & Huge, Full Hookups!
We absolutely loved our stay!
Firstly, Patti was an amazing host. We had a couple of delays on our trip, and Patti went above and beyond to make sure that we got to the campsite safely our first night.
The campsite is private, huge, and has an upper and lower section, a fire pit, a stream, a small natural pool, and a pottery shop (check it out - Doug is SUPER talented).
There are water and sewage hookups, as well as both 50amp and 20amp electric hookups. There are a couple of picnic tables, and Patti also made additional chairs available to us.
The location was perfect for us. There is so much natural beauty around the area, and the campsite was the perfect basecamp for our weekend adventures at the Nantahala Outdoor Center, and the Little Tennessee River.
We will be back for sure!!!

We’ll be back!
If you enjoy a private camping spot nestled in a beautiful mountain community with caring hosts, then you’ll be quite happy with this spot. The camping area is situated on the land that Patti and Doug live on, but you’re separated by a grassy area and a tree line at the small creek on the property as seen in the pictures. Patti and Doug communicated beautifully with us on the ins and outs of the camping spot. They have an hose at the ready for you a the water spigot and a converter if you don’t have a 50amp. Once we met them, they were happy to share with us things to do in the area. I had already done some research before hand, but a drive to a local river that Patti suggested was one of the most beautiful we’ve seen in these mountains. Patti also communicated the best way to enter the campsite. As for our rig and set up, we had a Dodge dually and 33ft 5th wheel and had to back into the site. This meant we needed to drive past the short gravel road to the campsite and turn around at a small bus turn around about 1/4 mile down the road. You’re pulling into a road and backing into another to accomplish this turn around. If you have a larger rig, confidence in your backing skills are a plus with this site. There is the possibility of turning around within the campsite, but we had arrived after a rain and we wanted to be cautious with getting stuck. I’ve included pictures of the bus turn around and the road/driveway of the campsite to hopefully help with a visual.
