It's all about location!! Mount Sterling Base Camp, ran by Falcon Expeditions, is uniquely situated in one of the few remote areas in the Smokies, surrounded by many recreational activities. This is the perfect place to relax and reset or serve as the base camp for your next adventure! This remote camp is run by Falcon Expeditions, who specialize in remote camping experiences. The property is located bordered by the Pisgah National Forest and is next to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (Big Creek) entrance. The property is off Forest Service Road 288. Within 4 miles, there is an entrance to the Appalachian Trail, rafting along the Pigeon River, the Smoky Mountain 1000 trail, horseback riding trails, 4x4 trails, multiple hiking trails, horseback riding trails, and so much more! Cataloochee Valley, NC and Cosby, TN are both fun drives (all gravel roads) from the camp. We are happy to share more information with you!

It was a pleasure meeting the owners Matthew and Elizabeth, great couple. loved how secluded the property was, but centrally located to everything we wanted to do. Property well maintained and communal building and bathhouse were very clean and convenient for campsite users. Highly recommend

We loved how quiet the campsite was! Not to mention the great bathroom/shower facilities and the big house (we didn’t end up using but it had a lot to offer!).

Site 2 - The Basecamp

Such a cool location and well-outfitted, remote hip camp! Stayed at Site #2 but we were lucky enough to have the whole camp to ourselves. Sites 1 & 2 are maybe 75 yards apart so if you're looking for a private weekend, book em both! Agree with previous reviews that a 4WD vehicle is recommended (especially after rain) due to rutted single track and the creek crossing. All amenities are as described plus a basic perc coffee maker and a small microwave in the cabin. 3 bars of 5G with T-Mobile. Very clean facilities, hot showers, and great communication from the host. We'll definitely be back!
