Weekend Trip to Appalachian Pond Campground

John and Brandi were so extremely kind and accommodating for our last minute booking! The property was peaceful and private, we will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Harmony Glen

June has a wonderful spot to camp or park a small rv. As an FYI, I have a tall roof long wheelbase Sprinter, and I wouldn't suggest trying to fit anything any bigger down the driveway.

5 nights at LAKESIDE GETAWAY ON DOUGLAS

This place is beautiful and LaShann and Jason are wonderful hosts, checking in daily to see if we needed anything. We were there in late April so the lake level was not fully up in the cove, but still a lovely view from the campsite, and accessible. We launched at nearby Swanns Marina. A quiet retreat with nice bathhouse, picnic shelter, and even a glider to sit in the shade and enjoy the view!

3 nights at Mountaintop Fantasy

Family had a great time on this mountain retreat, very private and we were well provided for. Recommend the area and the site.

3 nights at Harmony hollow

Love Harmony Hollow! We had 5 kids there and they had a blast.

Weekend Trip to Mountaintop Fantasy

Peter’s “Treehouse and SMH” campsite was such a peaceful escape. The mountain views were stunning, and the sound of the waterfall pond added a calming, meditative vibe to the whole stay. It was the perfect backdrop for relaxing and soaking in nature. The space felt quiet, secluded, and well-kept. Peter was a thoughtful host— I appreciate him checking on us. If you’re looking for a serene spot with beautiful scenery and a soothing atmosphere, I’d recommend this place.

1 night at Harmony hollow

Peaceful location in a great area. Thanks much, Patricia, great place. I will see you again.

Weekend Trip to Destination Outdoors! DO IT!

This was an awesome spot for tent camping! It was right on the water and felt very private. Awesome camping trip!

Weekend Trip to Nantahala: Cabins & Campsites

Fun experience! Very invigorating hike up to the platform, but worth it for the seclusion and stories!

Weekend Trip to Appalachian Pond Campground

Although I only stayed one evening, I absolutely loved my spot at site #3 (actually #4). Motorcycle camping, coming from Florida this was just beautiful site on a hillside with a small creek below and hsd a sunset view of the mountains. John was able to go out and pick up some firewood for me, which was amazing. Extremely friendly and wholesome people, I would be happy to visit again. The gravel road up to the tent sites is a bit steep, but I had no issue traversing it on my street bike with saddle bags in the dry environment. Thank you again, guys!

Weekend Trip to Shining Light Ranch & Retreat

We loved staying here! There are many spots for a campsite and we loved hearing the babbling creek and watching the bats fly over the lake at dusk. Plenty of tools needed and very private. Can’t want to come back!

1 night at Gateway to the Smokies

We stayed here on a trip to the Smokey’s. The land is well kept, private, and only a few minutes from the park. The highway is nearby so you’ll get the vehicle noise and lights from businesses. This will likely lessen during full foliage but never be absent. Either way we prefer the feeling of our own camp site rather than large campgrounds which this provided and we all slept fine.

1 night at Harmony hollow

Beautiful amazing secluded place I loved it very much

2 nights at Harmony hollow

I absolutely loved being right across the stream from the horses. The sunsets and sunrises were lovely!

1 night at Gateway to the Smokies

Great location right by a flowing stream. I thought the highway right next door would be too loud but the water drowned out almost all of the noise. The site is great! The lights from the Dollar General across the road were pretty bright but I would imagine in the summer and fall that won’t be a problem.

1 night at Harmony hollow

Road noise is a bit loud, but lovely property with good accomodations. Plenty of space! Nice hammock hanging nearby.

4 nights at Sky High Ridge RV Campground

This was a nicely set-up small campground with a very kind host, Peter, who stays on-site. The location is within a neighborhood, but it is very quiet and feels private. There is a lovely garden on the property and little walking path that the dogs enjoyed. The sites are fairly close together, which we enjoyed because we went travelling with multiple family members. In the winter/early spring, you have a modest view of distant mountains through the leaf-less trees. When we had to leave our trip early due to unforeseen severe weather, Peter was generous enough to give a refund for those days, which was extremely nice of him! We look forward to coming back to this site in the future!

4 nights at Sky High Ridge RV Campground

We really enjoyed our stay, the campground, and the host. We will be back!

4 nights at Sky High Ridge RV Campground

We loved camping on Peter’s land. The sites are more private than most campgrounds and set up nicely. Because the trees were still (mostly) bare this time of the year, we could see the surrounding mountains quite well. There is a nice garden next to the campground and small walking path around it. Peter was very helpful and nice. We look forward to visiting again.

Weekend Trip to Gateway to the Smokies

Did some car camping and my friends were tent camping, overall we enjoyed the property. Plenty of woods to collect dead wood from for fires and a nice cold creek at the bottom of the hill to soak your feet in and relax. Not far from the Smoky Mountains and a quick drive to all the nearby towns.

Harmony Glen

2 sites · RVs, Tents40 acres · Tuckasegee, NC

My property has supported families for several generations. From a small farm with typical livestock and vegetable gardens to a tree seedling nursery to hiking trails to cattle grazing in the fields, it has served its owners well. During the 1940's and early '50's, the Argura Post Office was located on the porch of my house. I have the original cancellation stamp. My husband is deceased, and I am hosting campers to meet people who love to camp as much as we did. My photo is with my dog Mollie. I hike with a group weekly and can make hiking suggestions as well as fishing suggestions. Harmony Glen is a wonderful place!

Nantahala: Cabins & Campsites

13 sites · Lodging, Tents7 acres · NC

We just retired from Active Duty Air Force! My ancestors have owned the land our NC cabins sit on since 1836. In fact, my mother grew up there after my Grandfather returned from WWII when there was no electricity and the outhouse was a bench over the creek. I grew up hiking the mountains with my brothers and our BB guns and my Uncle Frank at our family reunions. In 2005 he deeded us a parcel of land and we built our first cabin - Smawlie. We love to come to the cabin and Hike the trails on our own property, and of course, the world famous ones that join them, namely the Bartram and the Appalachian Trails. As you explore the lake, the trails, the rivers, and the mountain roads you'll see why our ancestors settled here. In 2018 - we bought the remainder of Uncle Frank's land - and in his honor built our second cabin - Frank's Landing. Also in that year I started managing my brother Bill's cabin. When we were stationed in Alaska for 6 heavenly years - we purchased a remote parcel of property and have slowly begun to develop it. We just completed building our cabin there. Thanks for reading this little tid bit about us. We love to explore the mountains and are excited to share our cabins with you.

This new super-cool floating cabin on Fontana Lake NC offers all of the modern day conveniences in a unique off-grid setting. Accessible by boat only, the Fontana Firefly is located on the outskirts of Bryson City North Carolina. The cabin is best suited for a couple or small family. Consisting of approximately 400 square feet of interior space, the cabin has one bedroom and one sleeping loft each outfitted with a queen bed. The cabin has a full-size bath and kitchen equipped with a refrigerator, stove, oven and microwave. There is plenty of dock and deck space for spending time outside relaxing, fishing and sunbathing. Of course If you must stay connected to the outside world, Elon’s internet is also provided. MUST READ IMPORTANT INFORMATION 1. This is an ‘off-grid’ cabin best suitable for those who understand the potential challenges and issues that can occur when camping without city provided electric power, water and sewer! The cabin is powered by a robust 4.5kw solar system. However, in cases of high energy consumption coupled with multiple cloudy days the battery storage system can become depleted. There is a ‘gas tank’ gauge on the back wall that indicates the amount of power/charge remaining in the batteries. If and when this gauge reads 15%, the system is effectively out of power and the sun will need to recharge the batteries. Water for the cabin comes directly from the lake and is filtered through both a carbon sediment as well as a UV filter. Waste water is collected in holding tanks beneath the floor. If too much water is used and the tanks fill completely you will be out of water. The moral of the story is that moderate consumption is the best practice. If you leave the water running or all appliances on for an unreasonable amount of time you will not have a pleasant stay. 2. The cabin is accessed by boat only. If you bring your own boat there are a number of launches that can be used to access the cabin. Depending on the time of year Alarka Marina, Lemmons Boat Ramp and Tsali Rec area are the closest and with a paddle craft can reach the cabin in 15-45 minutes. 3. Because the cabin floats, the wake created from boats and high winds can be felt strongly at times. If you are prone to any motion sickness, the Fontana Firefly is not for you unfortunately. 4. The cabin has an elevated second story deck. Climbing on and/or jumping from this deck into the lake below is strictly forbidden. The lake can have submerged trees that can not be seen with the naked eye making this behavior extremely hazardous. 5. Swimming under the cabin and docks is strictly forbidden and also extremely hazardous. 6. The cabin has two Ring Cameras at each doorway facing outward. The alerts are turned off once a guest successfully checks-in and will not be monitored. Additionally, there may be exterior cameras not directed at any living area but on the cabin structure and systems themselves such as the flotation, solar array, etc.
