Quiet, laid back, a creek right behind our campsite (!), easy access to Fontana Lake, the AT, and Bryson City. We really enjoyed our stay!

Tumbling Waters Campground & Trout

Established some 80 years ago, the buildings give a great Summer Camp vibe to us Gen Xers and Boomers. This small, 20 site campground has what appears to be several long term campers, a couple pull through sites, 4-5 back-in sites by the stream, and a couple cabins as well. The bath house is clean, there are laundry machines and a pavilion type area with grills, sinks, fish cleaning station, toys and games, foosball, drinks for sale...many nice and unexpected amenities. Firewood also for sale. A dirt basketball court, and even a tiny little chapel that seats maybe 8 people. Sarah is very nice and responsive. She is easily found around the campground many time a day. Great host! The sites quite close to each other, so on full days the back-in sites especially might feel a little cramped, but we were the only ones and had no complaints. There is paid fishing available most days (not Sunday-Tuesday) in a stocked trout pond, a large stream Panther Creek running through, an old forest road cum hiking trail adjacent (consider pants and long sleeves during tick season), and more hiking one left turn and a 10-minute drive away (locals say there are abundant ramps here, and the forestry roads are open for digging during ramp season). Very quiet while we were there, very little traffic. It's in a little valley so while it is quite dark, the sky view is limited with trees all around.

Wonderful, peaceful, little campground with full hookup. Our store was right on the creek. The host Sarah was awesome. So enjoyable we will be going back again soon!
