Near Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Within a 60-minute drive from the Oconaluftee Visitor Center.

Easy to reach campsite in the woods! Fall asleep in your own tent to the soothing sound of clear mountain water rushing in nearby creek. Wake up to glorious songbirds and relax al fresco on your private patio. Campfire allowed--just be mindful that it is completely out before going to sleep or leaving the site. Camper's toilet & sink available. Will need to provide your own potable water. You will be near a small private cemetery owned by the host. Neighbors have hens close by; we ask you to keep your dog leashed. Please keep food and trash in vehicle overnight to keep wildlife away. Kindly pack out your trash (and recyclables) at the end of your stay. Only 10 minutes away from the Blue Ridge Parkway with its stunning views and scenic hiking. For that small-town fun and funky experience, head 10 minutes in the other direction to Sylva--home of microbreweries, organic farmer's market, cool shops, award-winning restaurants, and various homespun curiosities. Half hour from Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the Cherokee Indian Reservation, and Cherokee Casino. All-new tubing on the river only 1 mile away! Asheville is 45 minutes away. Looking forward to you relaxing & enjoying our beautiful forest!Campsite is surrounded by lovely tall trees. Your site has a fire ring, camp toilet located inside privacy tent, koi pond. Guests will enjoy 2 acres to themselves. Note that the road is on a 1 lane dead end; there is a house across the road as well as neighbors driving to get home; still the campsite is secluded. 12'x7' red mulch area to pitch your tent. The rest of the ground is covered in moss and other moisture-loving groundcover. Mechanical sink for washing hands but campers will need to bring their own drinking water. A few hundred yards away enjoy the cool mountain air on your private patio, furnished with café table and 2 chairs. Watch the creek crash and splash from fern-covered bank. When you're ready for more sunlight, spread a blanket in our small orchard, 5 minutes' walk from your camp site. Like any healthy forest, expect and be prepared for insects.

This was a great spot to spend the night! It was peaceful and well, protected from the elements.

When my camping plans got rained out, this little art shack was a great alternative that allowed me to still enjoy being in gorgeous surroundings but with the pleasure of shelter. I loved ending my night and starting my day on the sweet porch.
