Indigo Eagle Sanctuary is an incredible place to experience the abundance of nature in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Our Sanctuary features two main areas: Mountain Tops, or Creekside sites. Immerse yourself in beauty and adventure, with waterfalls, a rushing creek, fishing, and camping. Our creek properties include the Creekside Cabin, and Waterfall Haven (multiple camping site options, with their own areas by the creek). Guests have room to explore the mossy wonderland along Hornbuckle Creek, take a dip in a swimming hole, take an adventure and follow a rough trail (at your own risk) to another waterfall, accessed across the creek, or just kick back and relax. (Note to guests: Trail has not been maintained since last year. Go at your own risk.) Our mountaintop options include Eagle’s Nest and Songbird Campsites. These two sites provide breathtaking, long-range mountain views and epic sunsets. They are great for quick get-aways, with ease of access to main roads/highways. Indigo Eagle Sanctuary Sites are located within a few miles of the Blue Ridge Parkway, Cherokee Reservation (museum, shops, dining) and Maggie Valley, a quaint mountain town with more shops, food, and entertainment. Nearest grocery stores are Ingles in Waynesville, or Food Lion in Cherokee. The popular Asheville is about a 50minute drive from our Sanctuary. Plenty to explore here, while being able to unplug and unwind.

Waterfall Haven Campsite 12
Frozen waterfall and sledding
This is my third time at IES and my second time at site 12. It was perfect in the winter, I recommend awd and snow chains if you do that lol. I had a blast and am grateful for a safe place to get away to as always

Eagles Nest Top Mountain View #2
This is our absolute favorite campsite! We have gone here the last two years in a row and won’t even look for another place. The views are amazing, there’s a grate for over the fire cooking, and it feels nice and secluded. A great escape from real life.

Great location and beautiful view. We will be back for sure. Definitely ask for directions from the host. The GPS coordinates will not get you there.

Waterfall Haven Camping (2-11)
So secluded, peaceful, and gorgeous. The sites are quite close together, but that wasn't an issue while we were there because only one other group was on site. Be sure to pack all supplies you need on the first trip in. The road in was quite long and very rough and we found we didn't want to make a trip out to reprovision after we'd settled in.
