Cowee is the best campground we’ve ever been to - and we’ve been to a lot all up and down the east coast. Tanya has clearly designed this campground to every last detail with an aesthetic hand. From the campsites themselves and their views, to the public spaces, conveniences of a laundry room to bathrooms which look like bathrooms out of a camp beautiful magazine. And Tanya is absolutely fabulous - responsive and very caring. We are definitely coming back!

An absolute gem. Great for families and couples. The owner and staff were always available for anything you need. The creative decor and lights along the stream was a nice touch. Plenty of outdoor games, loved the animals. Each site had its own firepit and grill. You can buy wood onsite if you run out. There’s a dumpster to throw your trash, washing machine and dryer. Everything we needed! We highly recommend. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property with us.

We had a great couple days at this “magical” site listening to the sounds of the creek and watching the animals. We stayed at an RV site but would love to stay in one of the adorable themed cabins. We will definitely come back!

We had an enjoyable time at the campground. I have a van camper class B and site 6 is plenty large enough. The restrooms and showers are very nice and clean. The deck and area under are very nice place to relax and party or just enjoy the outdoors.

Site is on the side of a mountain, level, clean, and a great fireppit!The trails are great for a walk in the woods, the lower one has a small running stream. As far as privacy goes, it's wooded, but there is a house directly across from the site. My 2nd trip here, will be back!

Ms. Shannon’s Magical Mountain is a true gem of Western NC. My family enjoyed the “Mad Hatter” creekside RV campsite and spent most our time playing in the creek or nearby playground The camp and facilities are very clean and well-kept, and the staff and fellow campers are super friendly and welcoming. We are looking forward to coming back again!

This place is truly magical, and if MarchHare is open.. BOOK IT! Our kids spent all their time running in the grass, playing in the sandbox, petting the animals , playing in the creek, and lounging in the hammocks. We enjoyed having the sound of the creek right beside us, and the swings that are right by the water. All the little details make this place amazing.

We had an amazing time!! We tent camped and it was such a cute place and the people there were so nice. Our first night we weren’t able to get firewood and one of the ladies noticed and brought us some and helped us start a fire and marshmallows!! The owner was very friendly and helpful! We loved the animals and it was a very clean and cutely decorated!! The river was beautiful and we loved the swings by the river. Definitely would come back!!

What a beautiful location for a getaway! Tanya was a perfect host and answered all our questions and was very friendly and accommodating!
The site was clean and there's a nice area for communal bonfires.
I highly recommend this campground if you want quiet and it's walking distance from the Sheffield mine!

This campground has all the bases covered. There was a lot of charming cow mooing from a farm down the hill. I was shocked by the bathrooms. They are almost like little cabins. Made of salvaged materials with beautiful porcelain sinks and even one with a claw foot tub that looks out on a balcony with a view of rolling hills, wild flowers and pure natural beauty.
There are so many thoughtful details that create a hospitable atmosphere. The tent sites are perfectly flat in little hollowed out half circles surround by ferns and beautiful trees. The RV sites have individual water pumps and electricity! There’s a picnic area with a set of big picnic tables and grills adjacent to a set of fire pits with Adirondack chairs. There is yet another communal space that is covered by a giant deck perfect for a yoga retreat. This is the perfect spot to host a large group or bring a crew of kids. Above the camp, they run the cutest gem mine I’ve ever seen. It has a lily pad pond that you can look out into while panning for gems. Tanya is the most gracious host. She was so welcoming and attentive. Thank you Tanya!
