Voted 2nd in NC!! We are a Mangalitsa farm in The Smoky Mountains of western NC. The entire property is oriented toward private farmland views, a half mile of river and surrounding mountains. It's really quite remarkable to be so accessible yet feel so remote! Come swim, fish, cook and play! Check out www.smokymtnriverranch.com for more information. PLEASE NOTE, our rate is based on the number of vehicles in your group. The first vehicle is included in the nightly rate and admits 4 campers. WE CHARGE FOR ADDITIONAL CARS. The charge will be added to your booking once you select the number of vehicles at checkout. Please note that each additional car admits four campers. For EXAMPLE, 2 cars = 8 campers total. If you only have two cars but more than eight people, YOU MUST select the "Extra Person" Extra for each night they are camping. Please select these extras at checkout. If you have questions about this PLEASE message me prior to booking. Our 95-acre farm was once owned by the Davis family who predominantly raised dairy cattle. We now raise the wooly Mangalitsa pig and sell to the best chefs and restaurants. We sell our pork at the farm too! All of our campsites are next to running water except the two hilltop sites. Two porta-potties are on the farm and private porta-potties are available for rent. Groups of eight or more are required to rent a porta potty should you not bring your own toilet system with you. We do not allow the use of our small wooded areas as toilets. Please review the Extras options as we offer river lifts, firewood and dog stays; thank you! Quiet hours are from 10pm to 9am. Checking in before 5 pm is requested. Later times may be available with prior arrangements. Our farm is very dark and navigating at night is difficult. Please contact Catherine directly so you can be checked in safely and accommodate your schedule. NO CHECK-INS AFTER DARK. We are 1 mile off of I 40, 17 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, 15 min. to Maggie Valley, 10 min to the Elk at Cataloochee, 25 min to Cataloochee ski area, 10 min to Lake Junaluska and 15 min to downtown Waynesville. Asheville is 20 miles to our East.

Site 7 Meadow

Catherine and Rick are so kind and responsive! We had a great time sleeping next to the bubbling stream, and the campsite was spacious and clean! We had a firepit, there was a water source nearbyand we felt very safe on Catherine and Ricks land! The dog stetson was very sweet as well 🩵 Oh and dont forget to ask for some farm fresh eggs 🥚 ☺️

17*North Cabin

Great Cabin!

The cabin itself is very nice. Well thought out and amenities are great. It was very clean and had fantastic views! The farm is beautiful and well maintained. From the minute you pull onto the property you can see that Catherine and Rick have put a lot of thought and work into making this a destination that is worth coming back to. We had family camping on the property as well and enjoyed walking the property, fishing and floating the beautiful Pigeon River, and seeing the different farm animals grazing in the fields. If you are looking for a quiet place that is close to Waynesville, Brevard and Asheville this is a must stay locale.

Fantastic property! The farm, river, views & vistas were all gorgeous and Catherine took us on an incredibly informative tour that my animal obsessed daughter absolutely loved. We will be back!

Site 8 Hilltop 4WD

The property was stunning! Our family had an amazing stay at the very top of the mountain, we felt secluded and had the best view of the night sky and the firefly’s were on display! We had so much fun spending the day swimming the creek and fishing! Catherine was very quick to respond and helpful. We will definitely be back!
