2 nights at The Heart Center

This is a beautiful and serene camping spot. We stayed in one of the yurts, but the camping would have been fun too. The forest was full of spring flowers, and there is a beautiful short hike to a creek on the property. We have kids, and playing in the old school gymnasium was a big hit! We did do some nearby hiking, but our kids just wanted to go back to the Heart Center to play :). I also appreciated access to the dining room area. Being able to use a microwave while camping makes it so much easier! And we appreciated the coffee and tea Liz had ready every morning. What a treat! Liz was a wonderful host, and one of the best parts of our stay was getting to spend time with her. She is a kind and generous person!

Weekend Trip to Roamstead

My family and I absolutely loved Roamstead. The on-site activities were great supplements to the easy access to smoky mountains and Gatlinburg. Having the stream right next to our cabin and rv site provided endless fun and exploration! Will definitely be returning.

Hosts were very accommodating and friendly. Plenty of space between sites and other campers were nice and respectful. Clean facilities and fun to explore the property and neighboring trails!

4 nights at Roamstead

We loved staying at Roamstead. We stayed in a yurt which was fantastic. It was warm and cozy (low in the 20's at night), and perfectly decorated. The bed had an amazingly comfortable mattress. Ample outlets for charging phones, coffee pot, etc. There were easy well lit paths to bathhouse and lodge. The staff was amazing! They're fabulous baristas as well. We truly felt at home away from home. We certainly hope our travels lead us back in the future. We have absolutely no complaints.

Weekend Trip to Destination Outdoors! DO IT!

Beautiful tent camping right on the river. Excellent unplug from the world and very secluded. Matt’s dog Ash is an absolute treat to play with as you unwind on the river. Would definitely recommend 4wd or AWD vehicle for exploring all the property.

Weekend Trip to Roamstead

The area where the yurts are is at the very back of the property, so it’s secluded and beside a stream. You can sleep with the sounds of a babbling brook & it’s heavenly! The property is well maintained, except for the lawn behind the main lodge…that one, you cant step in an area of the lawn without stepping on to animal scat (idk if it’s dog or other animals, but it’s the only area where every inch is covered with it, everywhere else? Clean.). The bathhouses & toilets are very vlean with very warm/hot showers & the hair dryers actually work & are full sized ones. Guests were all respectful of the quiet times & the staff were friendly & helpful. Overall, I highly recommend it & it definitely is kid friendly, with a well maintained playground my kid loved! Gburg & PF are 30-45 min away, so if you get tired of the peace & quiet, you can easily drive there for more touristy stuff. We’ll be back for sure!

2 nights at Roamstead

We loved Roamstead! Such a great spot and can't wait to come back and camp too. Also, the espresso is very very good! Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Roamstead

Fantastic setting! Loved the sound of the water running over the rocks. Close to the lodge but it too close. Small walk over bridge to grab a coffee or watch movie at night.

Best “glampground” ever! Beautiful spot! Beautiful people. I love being outdoors in nature but every once in awhile I like to be pampered like at a hotel. No need to give up nature this place does both. We will be back.

The Heart Center

9 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents30 acres · Robbinsville, NC

The Heart Center sits on 30 acres of beautiful forest land and it is surrounded by the Nantahala National Forest. The place is an old school site that was literally left to be buried by the forest, until I came along and decided to fix it up, and create a holistic sanctuary for people wishing to get away from it all. A place where one can heal, contemplate, re-energize, and relax in a quiet and pristine environment. Feel secluded enough to experience your own inner stillness; and, yet, connected enough to enjoy many beautiful area attractions that are just minutes away such as: Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest, Fontana Dam and the Appalachian Trail, 20 Mile Ranger Station, Cherohala Skyway, and Santeetlah Lake!The Heart Center is about love, unity, harmony, joy and re-connecting with ourselves, others, and Mother Nature. At the Heart Center, we take special interest in providing our guests with a uniquely peaceful, positive, comfortable, and relaxing experience! Whether you are laying on a hammock, walking the labyrinth, or just sitting on the deck taking in the sights and sounds, we want you to enjoy.

Roamstead

77 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents6 acres · Cosby, TN

Roamstead was born on a family RV trip across the country. Our founders noticed their glamorous plans often ended in glorified parking lots or dirty campgrounds without amenities or thought regarding design. Alongside that, many campgrounds seemed unapproachable to those who hadn’t been before. A vision was born to reinvent 'roughing it' in a way that could welcome all adventurers to experience the magic of the great outdoors. We believe the beauty of nature should be experienced by everyone. It's good for your health, and the more we connect with and learn about the outdoors, the more we'll feel compelled to protect it. Whether you've been camping all your life or this would be your first trip, we're here for you. We aim to build a bridge (you know, a metaphorical one) to the great outdoors, where all adventures can truly feel welcome. Roamstead is committed to making our outdoor spaces accessible to everyone. At our Smoky Mountains location, we're partnering with Friends of the Smokies to do just that. Friends assists the National Park Service in its mission to preserve and protect the Great Smoky Mountains National Park by raising funds and public awareness, and providing volunteers for needed projects. They restore trails, build handicap accessible access points, and provide urban youth educational opportunities in the park, to name just a few of their many projects. A dollar of each stay at Roamstead Smoky Mountains is donated back to Friends of the Smokies to help continue their mission.

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!
