Description
Welcome to Fort Wilderness RV Park and Campground! Located in Cherokee, North Carolina, our family-friendly facilities include 130 sites on ten acres in the Great Smoky Mountains. Convenient to U.S. 441, but far off the beaten path, you'll find quiet and solitude, with plenty of facilities and amenities to make your Cherokee vacation a memorable one! Our sites are nicely shaded and well away from the bustle of Cherokee, yet close enough to enjoy the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, trophy fishing, shopping and dining, Harrah's Cherokee Casino, and many more activities and attractions. Our park is family owned and operated since 1999 and the park was built in 1960 so it has some ole time charm and atmosphers as opposed to the francise parks. Our guests always want to come back to Fortwilderness and they often bring there friends and family. We have generations of campers who keep coming back again and again and we hope you do to.
