Ela Cabins

Cabins themselves are relatively nice - very rustic so don’t expect anything fancy. Mattresses in bunk beds are very thin plastic pads. No sheets/towels provided so bring your own everything. The location of the campground is quite nice - 5-10 mins drive to Bryson City. 5-10 min drive to tubing. However, the campsite itself looks like a trailer park. Everything is VERY close together - expect to be 15 ft from your neighbors sitting on their porch. Only view from the cabin is the pool and other cabins, trailers, houses all bunched together. Also - the “theme” of the campground is Jesus. Bathrooms were clean.
