This primitive campsite is located 5 minutes from the Abrams Creek Ranger Station at the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It is private, shaded, and next to a small stream that will lull you to sleep at night. There is a bathhouse with a composting toilet and cold shower available. An old concrete picnic table stands as a testament to the enjoyment and relaxation of several generations and is now glad to be uncovered and open for many generations to come. There are numerous species of wild flora and fauna right there in your campsite! Across the fence is an old barn and field that will remind you of mountain living from days gone by. You will have access to miles of backcountry hiking once you take the 5 minute drive to the GSMNP and you can come back to your campsite and enjoy your privacy! You may also enjoy motorcycling on the dragon which is 5 miles at the end of Happy Valley Road. Or...maybe you just want to hang up the hammock and listen to the frogs and watch the fireflies. Whatever your hobby is, this campsite is the place to call home.

Cute little spot. Nice composting toilet equipped with tp and hand sanitizer. Our host came to check on us and was kind enough to bring some firewood.
Verry nice people and well maintained property. Once the gravel is in it will be even better! We got a little stuck but they helped pull our Vanagon out like we were family.
This is a lovely camping spot with a fancy outhouse, picnic table, etc! It's right next to hiking in the National Park, a mountain pass with a fabulous view and pullouts/lookout spots, and all the roads around are beautiful drives. Sharon was very helpful and communicative as well. Definitely a bargain and way more peaceful than you'll find in the big campgrounds.
Thank you Emma! I''m so glad you enjoyed your stay!
Nice little getaway spot! The hosts were very friendly and the area was very clean. We will probably go back in the future!
My first experience with Hipcamp and I was not disappointed at all. Beautiful piece of property right outside Smokey Mountains National park. The hand built outhouse was a nice touch, outdoor shower by the creek was really nice. Their son , Matt greeted me and gave me the run down, couldn’t have been any nicer. Matt and Sharon made sure I had what I needed. Loved it, nice and private. My mini van did get stuck in the mud and they applied every resource and got me out
We are so glad you enjoyed your stay Brian! We would love to have you back anytime and hopefully we will have the gravel in before then!
This little hideaway is a great spot if you want easy access to the smokies but don’t want to be in a crowded campsite. Its extremely close to the Abrams Creek area which we visited several times. You can also have a beautiful drive through the foothills parkway and access the park through the Townsend side. This campsite is easy to get to and just what you need for a simple camping experience. The hosts were very kind and checked up on us a few times to make sure we had everything we needed. They let us borrow dry firewood and some tarps for the rain. The only thing I would say is know how to identify and watch out for poison ivy because there is some by the site. Overall it was a superb stay.
We would come back again! :)
We're so glad you enjoyed your stay Callie! Come back anytime 😊
Nice little locale with kind, hospitable property owners and enough space for a small group to hang out around the fire.
My partner and I stayed here for just a night and had such a wonderful experience. We wished we had made time for another night there. The family members we met were all so sweet and welcoming to us. We were in the middle of a big crazy road trip and this was a lovely moment of calm in a beautiful place.
We loved hosting you all! Come back soon!
