It's all about location!! Our camp is uniquely situated in one of the few remote areas in the Smokies, surrounded by many recreational activities. This is the perfect place to relax and reset or serve as the basecamp for your next adventure! This remote camp is run by Falcon Expeditions, who specialize in remote camping experiences. The property is located bordered by the Pisgah National Forest and is next to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (Big Creek) entrance. The property is off Forest Service Road 288. Within 4 miles, there is an entrance to the Appalachian Trail, rafting along the Pigeon River, the Smoky Mountain 1000 trail, horseback riding trails, 4x4 trails, multiple hiking trails, horseback riding trails, and so much more! Cataloochee Valley, NC and Cosby, TN are both fun drives (all gravel roads) from the camp. We are happy to share more information with you!

Fantastic campsite with all the amenities you need to have a great time while wheeling, hiking and exploring! The lodge was clean and well appointed. The wash house was great, We will definitely be back!

Perfect spot
What an amazing time we had! Elizabeth was super helpful! She even let us stay an extra night when the weather didn’t let us get the Yurt down in time! The extra night was just what we needed to wake up to it snowing on the mountain the next morning. This was the PERFECT spot for our family. We have working dogs and kids so it’s a whole circus! We were able to have the nice amenities of electricity, water and nice HOT showers. Without giving up the private out in the mountains setting we were looking for. This place is the best of both worlds! We likely won’t camp anywhere else when we come back to the Smokies! We were able to hike down the mountain to let the dogs and kids play in the creek. Some tubing at Maggie Valleys Tube world topped off the weekend. We can’t wait to be back!

This spot was perfect! Our group included a first time camper who loved the combo of “roughin it” and amenities. The hosts thought of everything that we forgot to pack! Drive to the site was also a perfect introduction to “off-roading” for our friends. We would definitely love to make this a traditional spot for future camping!

Our family rented site 1 & 2 so we had the big house to ourselves. A wonderful spot, quite and well equipped. We would love to return for another visit.

It was private, quiet, and close to the National park. Nice to have a house nearby in case of bad weather and many other needed supplies . Elizabeth was easy to talk to and very responsive.
