Welcome to our little slice of creekside heaven!
Four years ago, we took a run-down manufactured home park and started turning it into something special — a peaceful, down-to-earth spot for campers to relax, explore, and feel right at home. It's been a total labor of love, and now we’re excited to share it with folks who appreciate the beauty of nature, good company, and a few chickens wandering by. At night, things slow down — our campground is quiet, peaceful, and perfect for stargazing.
We’ve got:
3 creekside RV sites with water + electric hookups
1 creekside RV site with full hookups (water, electric, and septic)
4 first-come, first-served creekside tent spots
A 38' luxury RV available to rent for a comfy glamping stay
All sites are right along Conleys Creek, which is stocked with trout and perfect for fishing or cooling off in the summer. Every spot includes a picnic table and fire pit — and tent sites come with a fire pit that includes a cooking grate for easy campfire meals.
Our land is totally pesticide-free and full of life — from colorful flower gardens to veggies, herbs, fruit trees, and our famous 14 free-range chickens (a.k.a. The Dixie Chicks). Guests love feeding them, petting them, and collecting fresh eggs.
You’ll also find:
A clean, private bathhouse
A game room with ping pong + darts
Outdoor yard games
Fast, reliable Wi-Fi
Firewood, eggs, and ice for sale
A dump station for RVs
We’re in a super convenient spot — nestled between Bryson City and Cherokee, just a short drive from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Dillsboro, Sylva, and tons of hiking, biking, kayaking, tubing, and whitewater adventures.
We’re open year-round, but if you come during leaf peeping season, you’re in for a real treat — the colors are absolutely magical.
Well-behaved, leashed dogs are welcome too — we get it, they’re family!
This is our home, our lifestyle, and our dream. We’d love to have you come enjoy it with us.

Camp Tuck is a private secluded campsite for one. We love this special spot so much that we wanted to share it with others. An individual 3/4 acre campsite directly on the beautiful Tuckaseegee River in the Great Smoky Mountains.
No other campers, just you, the incredible view and soothing sound of the river and the beauty of nature. If you long for peace and tranquility, then this beautiful place is for you.
This site is for Class A, B and C RV's up to a maximum of 30ft in length, and Camper Vans and Camper Trucks with onboard bathroom facilities. Please note that Travel Trailers and 5th wheels are not allowed due to the site configuration and access. No tent campers unless with an RV that meets the above guidelines, due to no bathroom or shower facilities onsite.
Beautiful view on the Tuckaseegee river. The river is about 100-150 feet wide and flowing constantly. Located in Whittier, NC which is in between Bryson City and Cherokee. Near Great Smoky Mountains National Park (the most visited National park in the US) with every imaginable outdoor activity within minutes.
This campsite is for people who love peace, solitude and beauty but want to be within minutes of attractions and restaurants. Harrah's casino in Cherokee is only 15 minutes away.

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.

Had a great stay at Turkey Creek Campground in October 2025 to see the leaves change in the mountains. It was the cleanest Campground we've ever stayed at, the bathrooms were impeccable. There's not much of a creek, but it is pretty close to some fantastic Rivers. Rick is an outstanding host, we had forgot our water hose, and he longest one no questions asked. Will definitely be staying there again five stars

Ww had a lovely visit during our stay at Conley's Creek Campground. If you like the sounds of a babbling brook, you'll be right at home, as there's a creek that iss on site. Anne has pasture raised chickens and does sell the. eggs to her guests. Nice location to visit the Great Smokey Mountains. Great hosts, that are easily reached if you need to co tact them for any reason.

The spot is just as pictured, beautiful. I found the camptuck.com website to also be very informative of the site and the area. Be sure to look at their notes regarding the driveway, especially regarding tow behinds as it is very helpful and will keep you from getting into a tough spot. experience was 10/10 for what I was needing.

**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.
