We have one Vintage Airstream Camper set up for those who want to camp but also just get up and go. Camper has tub/shower, toilet, fridge, sink, microwave, small led tv - very comfy. One look is all it takes to be hooked. Camper has own firepit, picnic table, pond full of yellow trout out your door!
Cold clear water runs down thru grounds from several spring heads. Few extra holes for wading and fish. Owner has planted rows n rows of veggies thru out.
For the primitive campers, hike along the creek or up mountain for beautiful, more private, close to nature itself to choose from. No power or runnning water but access to water hose, firepit at each site. Outhouse is in a general area to be shared.
The Little Tennessee River flows in front of grounds. Fish, swim, canoe or paddle. Just have fun, relax, and be happy. Happy Camping!
