About
We can't adequately describe how peaceful it is to listen to the birds & watch the sky turn purple over the Smoky Mountains at our "Backside" campground with 6 acres of complete solidarity. Evenings around the firepit w/ the stars are simply magical! Local activities include cliff jumping a secret swimming hole, hiking the Appalachian trail, & whitewater rafting the Nantahala River. There are 7 large tent campsites with 2 shared fire pits, a porta-potty, a fresh water creek, & picnic tables.
