Best in North Carolina: Finalist

Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2024.

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.

Great little spot for tent camping. Nice owners. Decent bathhouse and nice game room. Loved the free-range chickens and fresh eggs. Good base camp location to take in all the trout streams around Cherokee and Bryson City. Far enough out to enjoy some peace and quiet along the creek.

Our family loved tent camping! It was a toddler’s dream to chase chickens and the creek was the perfect sound buffer. Anne and family are quick to respond and help, bathroom trailer is simple and clean, and easy drive to GSMNP, downtown Bryson City, or Sylva/Dillsboro.

We had the tent camping area all to ourselves and we had a wonderful time. My kids loved the chickens and having the creek so close. We’d love to go back.

Anne is the sweetest and her place is super cute! She was ever so helpful even when we needed parking printed she was able to help us. The game room was awesome when it rained so hard that it was raining inside our tent! We would definitely come back again.

Somewhat tucked away yet still on the edge of everything the area has to offer. Great location. Very accommodating camping site. Hosts are attentive, helpful, and friendly.

I loved the quietness when there were no other campers. Chickens were great and the hosts were very friendly. Good location. Thanks
