20mi from Maggie Valley · 4 sites
When you go to sleep, there's no light except the moon and stars, no refrigerator or central heating or air conditioning noise -- only the sounds of nature -- the stream, crickets or frogs in the nearby pond, dogs or coyotes in the distance. Without the glow of a nearby city, the hot tub on a clear night, the skies are dazzling.
Speaking of which, the wood-fired hot tub is made by a company called Snorkel. It's perfect for 2 and can fit 3, although tight. It's Japanese style hot tub bathing, meaning no chemicals. Also, since we're not grid tied, it relies on a firebox heating fresh spring water, which you fill it with. It takes approx. 35 minutes to fill the tub and between 3 and 3.5 hours to heat (longer when it's really cold!). There's a thermometer in it, so as it gets closer to your liking (don't let it get over 102 degrees), let the existing logs burn down, choke off the air vent sleeve and hop in. With no pump sounds and the stars above, it's incomparable. The $50 fee (per 2 night rentals) covers thorough cleaning between guests and split firewood.
You will be very comfortable in Little Good Egg, even in extreme weather, simply by paying attention and taking more time for simple tasks. It sounds corny, but there is a meditative quality to thinking and doing things like heating water, keeping warm, staying hydrated, eating well and choosing to do what you really want. I'm always amazed how busy I am -- and how different this kind of busy feels -- without electronics and my technological "time savers." Odd as it sounds to say this, it's stunning and wonderful to go "offline," even for just a day, and not get hit by little chirps and incoming messages that seem to arrive now 24/7.
Note: Since we opened in October, 2014, guest reviews consistently tell us us best thing about staying at Good Egg is being off the grid and the treadmill of modern life, unplugging from the dominant culture and experiencing oneself as humans did 100 years ago and more.
Whether it’s the absence of electricity (in the cabin), the quiet of the country, no city glow in the night sky, or the once common experience of the natural world dominating over human-made or human-crafted things, it’s astonishing for many of us to see and feel and experience without constant communications via text and email and the distractions of modern life. Many people write that they’ve learned an enormous amount about themselves, about homesteading or permaculture, and about alternate ways of being.

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.

We had a lovely time at the camping site of Danny and Pam’s. We rode on the Polar Express and the location was perfect, only a few minutes away. Our site backed up to a beautiful creek which was very relaxing to sit by. Danny responded right away to any of my questions and was very hospitable.

Danny was super nice. He helped us settle and gave recommendations for the local area that we were able to use. The location is close to the downtown area of the small town and not too far from things to do. The site itself was very clean and level and well taken care of and right on the water. It's a little difficult to get down to the stream but it's beautiful nonetheless. A great place to stay awhile.

4 nights at Moonshine Ridge Campground
Tim was an excellent host, kept us well stocked with firewood and the airstream had everything in it we needed. Beautiful spot for campfires and starlight. This is the perfect spot to stay for visiting the smokes, pigeon forge, Gatlinburg, etc. We were within an hour drive of everything we wanted to do. We even extended our stay by another day. We will be back.

This place was perfect. 4 of us fit perfect and had plenty of room around our RV for games and our belongings. Tim was great and responsive. He stopped by a few times to make sure we knew what was available for us on the property and to make sure we were all set. He was very accommodating to our check in and check out process. He even allowed us to take our time leaving because no one was staying after us. We ended up leaving on time but it was very kind he gave us this option. RV was in great condition and was perfect for us. Water spigots in multiple spots and plenty of firewood pre cut for us to use all weekend. Would definitely stay again and will be recommending to anyone we know.

**When God Sends Angels: A Glimpse into Serenity with Danny & Pam**
In our chaotic world, where the hustle and bustle often pulls us away from nature, sometimes God sends angels to remind us of the serenity that lies just beyond the noise. For us, those angels are Danny and Pam, the remarkable hosts of two stunning HipCamp sites that have redefined our camping experience.
From the moment we arrived, it was clear that their sites were a slice of paradise. Following Danny's easy-to-follow directions, we effortlessly backed into our spot. The sites are impeccably level and beautifully maintained, boasting full hookups that add just the right touch of comfort to our outdoor adventure.
Nestled alongside a charming creek, the seating and fire pits invite you to unwind and soak in the tranquility. Imagine the soft sound of water bubbling and flowing by, creating a soothing backdrop as you relax in the shade. A well-placed picnic table completes the perfect picture for outdoor dining and gathering.
Despite the closeness to downtown, the campsite offers an oasis of calm. It's a world away, yet just minutes from all the activity. We found ourselves reveling in the peace, savoring every moment spent beside the creek while knowing the vibrancy of downtown life was just a stone's throw away.
Danny and Pam have truly created something special here. Their dedication shines through every day.
