Private sites

96% of recent Hipcampers say the sites felt private.

Please read the entire listing because I have updated this page. The booking is for 2 people, any guest after the initial 2 or pet will be $10 per night. Add them as extra guests Pull down a paved road and get out of your car and sit down at a picnic table in front of a private waterfall! This site has a pull through, full hookup spot with 30amp for campers but tents are always welcome or a combination of the two. I've had a 33' camper, popup camper and 6 tents at this campsite all at the same time so there plenty of room for your family and friends! We're 2.5 miles from the Cherokee Casino and 3.5 miles from down town Cherokee If you're tired of crowded campgrounds then you'll love the privacy this campground offers. This is now a two site campground with each site being around 100' away from the other site with trees and vegetation growing in between, you more or less cant see on site from the other from May until November. There is a orange cone that marks the border of the two sites. One set of campers will not be allowed on the other campers campsite, if this happens you will be evicted with no refund. Check in is at 2pm and check out is at 12pm. No shooting firearms, (although you may hear people shooting firearms because you will be camping in the mountains) but your more than welcome to bring your firearms. Its better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. No fireworks. No making trails or collecting firewood (This is not because I want to sell you firewood, its because I want to have the property remain as pristine as possible) Do not cut down trees alive or dead If you move picnic tables please move them back Dogs are permitted but message me first to see if your do will be a good fit. There is a small Church around 200 yards from the campground. They hold services every Wednesday and Sunday. They generally start around 5pm and it lasts around a hour. If your into that they would love to have you come down. The EBCI opened a dispensary around 3 miles from the campground. It will open to all adults over 21 starting September 7th 2024. Message me with any questions you have

Wonderful campsite! Must visit

Cherokee Creekside Campsite

Richard was a wonderful host! I would definitely recommend staying at his camp sites. You can tell he worked hard to make it as private as possible. He even met up with us at the campsite and gave us a tour and showed us how the shower worked. He communicated with us before check in and even after leaving from the brief tour. He reached out to tell us if we need anything or recommendations and to adjust the water temperature just let him know, he’s not far. The grill was clean, the creek was wonderful. He recommended fishing spots nearby and activities! Even gave us spots to see elks! The church was not a bother I hardly noticed it not loud at all. The driveway is only used between you and the other campers or you if rent out both campsites to have an even more private stay for you and your family.

You haven't lived until you've slept next to a river/waterfall. This is the best places I've ever camped in my life. Do yourself a favor and book it.
