Silverbell Wood

Covered in Carolina Silverbells, (hence the name Silverbell Wood), Flame Azaleas and Dogwoods, this property is a part of the Southern Appalachians which is one of the most diverse and unique ecosystems in the world due to it's topography and natural history. We have 5 distinct micro-ecosystems on our land! We cherish and monitor the health of the land which has proven to be fruitful with the increase of the salamander population (an indicator of ecosystem health), in the past few years! Our 6 acres is a labor of love, maintained and improved entirely by the owners, Stephan Hart and Nicole Harris.

The shower/bathing shelter sits just off the road from the site, a short walk away. Hang a shower bag, or have a bucket bath in privacy.

The lounging deck has a few chairs, a moveable picnic table and eyelet hooks for one hammock.

The composting pit toilet is open-air, but enclosed for privacy and has hooks galore to hang your important things.

The kitchen shelter contains a broad counter top for prepping, cooking, storing gear etc.

Old, salvaged National Park campfire ring with flip-top grate for grilling!

Hear the Birds not the road!!

Family owned and operated by Cindy and Andre Roestenberg with the help of Grandy Elizabeth and daughter Annie 21 who just graduated nursing school. Andre is from Holland the Netherlands and Cindy is from New York City they met in Ft. Lauderdale got married and bought the campground in 1999. Annie was 3 years old. The campground was previously owned by Archie Watkins a famous singer from the gospel group called the Inspirations. Archie still comes thru the campground every now and again. The campground is the most beautiful one in the Smoky Mountains everyone that stays here always winds up coming back again and again. We hope you stay with us and become part of the Wilderness Family. Thank you.

Destination Outdoors! DO IT!

Four years ago I purchased my dream retirement.... 108 acres in the beautiful college town of Cullowhee, NC.  Nestled up to the Great Smoky Mountains National park, this property is unique in everything it offers. Riverside on the renowned fly fishing river, the Tuckasegee River, or ridge top on Cullowhee Mountain, elevation 3850'.  There are improved camp sites, a yurt, or free range camping and hiking. The fall views are spectacular, wherever you decide to locate.  We implement " Leave no trace" rules and welcome respectful 4wd access to our ridge top.  We are currently endeavoring agroforestry techniques to respectfully harvest the bounties of the woodlands in our Living Mountain Farms online store. Our hope is to one day make this magical mountain sustain those who reside upon the reserve, and provide a most memorable stay for our guests!Destination Outdoors! DO IT!
