Please read the entire description because I have updated the site! I am doing renovations to the campground and there is a big chance that this will no longer be a 1 site campground. I am adding another campsite around 100 yards away from the "Waterfall" site. I will call this site "Creekside". The people that book the "Creekside" site will not be allowed to go to the waterfall or enter the "Waterfall" site and it will be clearly marked where one site ends and the other begins. There is a chance the the renovations to the new "Creekside" site will not be finished this year but if you book the "Waterfall" site just know that there will be a chance that there will be another site on the property. When I finish with the renovations I will contact all the people that booked the "Waterfall" site and ask them if they want to reserve the other site (Creekside) on the days they have booked. If I don't contact you then you will know that the "Creekside" site is not finished. There has been some confusion so I thought I would clear things up. The listing is for 2 guests. Anyone or any pets after the initial 2 guests there is an extra charge for. So if you book the site that's for you and one other person and if you want to bring a pet then you will add them as an extra guest. The "Waterfall" site has a full hookup pull-through with a 30 amp electric connection. There is also a full size flushing toilet and hot shower in the bath house. I'm going to say for now that the max size of camper will be 25 foot with a max height of 12 foot because you will be pulling under a power line. The "Creekside" site will be full hookup pull-through with 30 amp power. This site is still under construction. More details to come! We're 2.5 miles from the Cherokee Casino and 3.5 miles from down town Cherokee We now offer full hookup camping but tents are also still welcome! There is very limited cell service with no wifi. This campground is not really suitable for children but children are welcome. If you want to camp and bring children message me first before you book the site. Large groups are welcome. I've had a group of 17 and there was room for more! We are located in the Great Smokey Mountains on the Eastern Band Cherokee Reservation in Cherokee North Carolina. This may no longer be a 1 site campground so please read everything on this page because the rules and details have changed. Please do not just show up at the campground without a reservation. Most likely the campground will be reserved and guests will be camping. There is no on-site staff and there's a gate that either the guests or myself will keep locked. You will not be able to just drive up and view the waterfall. We are a no frills campground, but I just renovated and I'm pretty proud of that because I did everything myself! I now have a pull-through site with electric, water and sewer hookups. What this campground lacks in amenities it more than makes up for in beauty and privacy. I feel this is one of the most unique campsites in the world! Check in is at 2pm and check out is at 12pm. There is a house and a church on the same road so please drive slowly. No shooting firearms, (although you may hear people shooting firearms because you will be camping in the mountains) but your more than welcome to bring your firearms. Its better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. No fireworks. Since this may no longer be a "1 site" campground if you want to bring your dog it will need to be with you and leashed. If you know your dog is a "barker" meaning you know your dog will constantly bark at other campers then do not book the site. If that happens you will be asked to quiet your dog then if it doesn't stop you will be made to leave with no refund. There will now be "quiet hours" since you maybe sharing the property with other campers. It will be after 11pm. One campsites guests will not be allowed to enter the other site. The sites will be clearly marked. If this happens you will be made to leave with no refund. The gate will need to be closed at all times No making trails or collecting firewood (This is not because I want to sell you firewood, its because I want to have the property remain as pristine as possible) Do not cut down trees alive or dead If you move picnic tables please move them back, there's only one of me and I cant move them back alone The water and toilet maybe frozen in freezing weather and the hot water shower will be uninstalled during freezing weather Dogs are permitted but contact before you book the site to confirm if your dog will be allowed. I charge for dogs the same as I do for extra guests. BY BOOKING THE SITE YOU AGREE TO ALL THESE TERMS There is a small Church around 200 yards from the campground. They hold services every Wednesday and Sunday. They generally start around 5pm and it lasts around a hour. If your into that they would love to have you come down. Please don't hesitate to call me or text with any questions you might have Please read the entire listing because I have updated this page and renovated the property! My 1 site campground has been renovated and I now have a full hookup pull-through site! There is a 30 amp electric connection at the site. There is also a full size flushing toilet and hot shower in the bath house. I'm going to say for now that the max size of camper will be 33 foot. Message mem with any questions. We're 2.5 miles from the Cherokee Casino and 3.5 miles from down town Cherokee If you're tired of crowded campgrounds then you'll love the privacy this campground offers. This is now a two site campground with each site being around 100' away from the other site with trees and vegetation growing in between, you more or less cant see on site from the other from May until November. We now offer full hookup camping but tents are also still welcome! There is very limited cell service with no wifi.

Private Waterfall Campground

We (and our dogs) loved camping at Richard's site. The combination of natural beauty, location, privacy, and amenities was truly amazing. To boot, Richard was a great host--communicative and responsive. I will definitely be back!

Tranquil oasis

Nestled in a secluded corner of pristine wilderness, this private waterfall campground is a true hidden gem. As someone who cherishes solitude and natural beauty, I couldn't have stumbled upon a more perfect retreat. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle, yet conveniently accessible, the campground offers a serene escape. The campsites are well-maintained and Each site offers a fire pit and ample space for tents and an RV full hookup, blending rustic charm with modern convenience. There is a flushing toilet and a shower with hot water. The centerpiece of this campground is undoubtedly the majestic waterfall. Cascading over moss-covered rocks, we were able unwind and reconnect with nature. Whether you're a photographer seeking the perfect shot or simply yearning for a peaceful moment, the waterfall's allure is irresistible. Absolutely amazing! Thank you Richard for sharing your land with us!

The waterfall site was SPECTACULAR! Private, amazing scenery with the waterfall and creek, fantastic amenities including the flushing toilet and hot shower, and perfect proximity to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Richard clearly takes great care of the property, and was a welcoming and wonderful host. Highly recommend!

Private Waterfall Campground

Richard’s waterfall site was private, well maintained, and beautiful. The location was perfect for us - a quick drive to the National Park, an hour to Asheville, and plenty of local history and towns to explore. We wouldn’t hesitate to come back!

Breathtaking

This place is truly incredible. The waterfall is larger than the pictures show & the creek is beautiful all the way down through the property. It’s so green right now with a ton of wildflowers. Richard has made some wonderful improvements to the property including the bathhouse which has a running toilet and hot shower! I can’t wait to come back.
