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.

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.

Indigo Eagle Sanctuary is an incredible place to experience the abundance of nature in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Our Sanctuary features two main areas: Mountain Tops, or Creekside sites. Immerse yourself in beauty and adventure, with waterfalls, a rushing creek, fishing, and camping. Our creek properties include the Creekside Cabin, and Waterfall Haven (multiple camping site options, with their own areas by the creek). Guests have room to explore the mossy wonderland along Hornbuckle Creek, take a dip in a swimming hole, take an adventure and follow a rough trail (at your own risk) to another waterfall, accessed across the creek, or just kick back and relax. (Note to guests: Trail has not been maintained since last year. Go at your own risk.) Our mountaintop options include Eagle’s Nest and Songbird Campsites. These two sites provide breathtaking, long-range mountain views and epic sunsets. They are great for quick get-aways, with ease of access to main roads/highways. Indigo Eagle Sanctuary Sites are located within a few miles of the Blue Ridge Parkway, Cherokee Reservation (museum, shops, dining) and Maggie Valley, a quaint mountain town with more shops, food, and entertainment. Nearest grocery stores are Ingles in Waynesville, or Food Lion in Cherokee. The popular Asheville is about a 50minute drive from our Sanctuary. Plenty to explore here, while being able to unplug and unwind. *Disclaimer The creekside camping involves a road that will require vehicle clearance in order to access campsites. 4wd is not required but adequate vehicle clearance will be necessary as we have received damages from storms.

Camp Tuck is awesome. We have visited twice this year and both times were amazing! The first visit we saw bald eagles and 2 huge elk! The second we saw an otter. John is easy to deal with. Will definitely be back.

The campsite was great. Well maintained and very peaceful. A vehicle with decent ground clearance is needed to make it up the drive but our Jeep had no problem. The entrance had a gate with lock so we felt very secure.

We have 4 creek side RV spots available for guests. In addition, we also rent out our 38' luxury RV for guests to enjoy onsite. Best to contact us directly at Hidden Creek Retreat, in Whittier NC for more details about our RV.

Weekend Trip to Indigo Eagle Sanctuary

We had no issues booking this campsite last minute, and while there was no communication from the owner during our stay, everything went smoothly and we had an amazing weekend. The location can be a bit tricky to find, so be sure to follow the directions provided in your booking. The site itself is large, private, and offers a breathtaking view of the smoky mountains. Since it faces west, the sunsets are absolutely phenomenal! The campsite includes a fire pit, a wooden swing, a large teepee structure, and a small toilet shed — all decently maintained. We didn’t see any bears during our stay, but we did hang our food in a nearby tree just to be safe. Overall, it was a peaceful and scenic getaway — we’d definitely stay here again and have already been recommending it to friends!

Weekend Trip to Mount Sterling Base Camp

We had a family camping trip here and booked both sites. It was amazingly private and our dogs loved the space. The main lodge was large and had anything you could think to need for your stay. Hot shower and good water pressure. Overall, one of the best Hipcamps we’ve ever stayed at. 12/10 recommend! You will need 4 wheel drive if pulling a camper and our only clearance issue was at the creek crossing; we used boards under the wheels to get across.

The best sleep I've ever had-- No city noises, dogs barking, etc. just nature. Damages to i40 and waterville Rd made traveling around a bit of a pain but there are so many other routes and trails that are stunning drives, especially with the fall scenery. Location is pretty much in the smokies, so there is much to see and do. Property felt secluded and private. No cars passing by. Amenities were as described.

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.

Very comfortable, great facilities (bath house, power, water ...). Great location for exploring the Smokies. Anne was super helpful. The sites are pretty close together and you're by a road, so it's not very private, but very comfortable. Thanks Anne!

Decided to leave Myrtle Beach and head for the mountains. Searched Google for a campsite and found this site on Hipcamp. Beautiful area. We were greeted upon arrival by the owner who gave us a quick rundown of his property. Very helpful and friendly. I asked about the water quality. He said it was the best--it is! We loved it here and will be back if we're in the area again.

Weekend Trip to Conleys Creek Campground

Anne and Chris were incredibly welcoming hosts, and their campground is a true hidden gem. The creek provides a cool refuge during the hottest part of the day. It was so refreshing, peaceful, and our dog loved it too!!! We loved the thoughtful touches, like the little herb bed next to each RV spot. The peppermint leaves were a lovely addition to our water, and there was even a ripe tomato, Chris said was just for us, which made our campfire breakfast of potatoes and eggs even more special. The free-range hens were fun and beautiful! They forage around the campsite all day. Anne offers any extra eggs for sale, and we couldn't resist picking up some fresh ones! I am usually the first to get bitten by mosquitoes, but thanks to the chickens and the moving water of the creek, I didn’t get a single bite during our entire stay! This place was exactly the peaceful, nature-filled escape we were looking for. Anne and Chris have created such a welcoming environment, and we can’t wait to return. Thank you for a truly memorable stay. We will be back!
