Greener Acres minutes from Roan Mountain State Park and the Appalachian Trail. Use Greener Acres campsite as your jumping-off point for fun nearby activities or relax on our 40 acre mountainside property and watch for meteor showers in the clear night sky! Within 5 minutes, you can be at Roan Mountain State Park or drive 5-10 minutes to hike the Appalachian Trail. Head up to Carvers Gap just below Roan Mountain High Knob where you can hop out and enjoy a short walk to a scenic view of both the TN and NC mountains or visit the famous Rhododendron Gardens in season. Campsite also boasts energizing, private hike up to Heaton Ridge. Want to spend the day kayaking or canoeing? Head to Wilbur Lake, about a 30 minute drive away from our campsite. Exploring Laura Falls is only a 20 minute drive away. Blue Ridge Parkway, Blowing Rock, and Grandfather Mountain in N.C. are about 30-45 minutes away. The Smokey Mountains, Gatlinburg, and Dollywood are about a 2 hour drive through amazing mountain views. The annual Rhododendron Festival takes place minutes away. Supplies can be found at the state park camp store or in town at Redi-Mart or Dollar General. Water and showers are down by barn. A Gator is available for the duration of your stay. Please arrive before sundown so we can meet you the first time you stay to show you the way and make sure you are comfortable driving Gator. We will have you follow us up to the campsite and from there you can come and go and just leave the Gator by your car near the barn when you are out and about and when checking out. A small Bluetti power charging station will be available in the tent (for light charging of cell phones, other) which can be recharged by the barn if used heavily. A Coleman stove with a small propane tank, pots, a frying pan and utensils is also included in the site. Another small propane tank is provided for the radiator in the tent.

Creekside tent site near apiary

(39)
Tent site · Sleeps 4
This site is situated next to the creek. We have a rock fire ring, picnic table and charcoal grill. Firewood is provided but please bring your own charcoal and grill tools if you plan to use the grill. A short walk to the bathroom and parking. There is an Apiary (bee hives) nearby. The bees don't usually bother people. This host have never been stung and they don't bother the campsite, it's 40 feet away. If you are allergic or afraid of bees then maybe this isn't the right site for you. Feel free to take pictures and watch them do their work but don't leave an open jar of honey out or they may rob you. Honey for sale at our neighbors apiary.

    Really great stay! Super friendly hosts, the best camping bathroom situation I have come across. The bees were not an issue at all, and having firewood pre-chopped nearby was lovely.
