TravelerBeautiful spot in the smoky mountains. State park style amenities, no showers. No hookups. Very busy very open campground. Nice that some trails are walking distance from campground. I would not camp here again as I prefer more separation and privacy. No cell service. STARLINK is usable but obstructed with tree canopy
ScoutI camped here with a friend last weekend and absolutely loved this place! It's a cute little site with a great host, clean bathrooms, free firewood, and super friendly dogs, goats, and people. I would for sure stay here again and recommend.
ScoutWhatever person or group of persons designed the campground were clueless as to how to develop a campground. Sites are packed in the most preposterous configuration to have tents, trailers motorhomes all jammed together nearly touching each other with zero privacy. Come for the hikes and views of the gorge but come with the lowest expectations for the campground and you’ll be fine
ScoutWalk to trail sites, clean bathrooms, sites close together…water and electric at site. Sites are sloped gravel.
GuideThis is our first time coming here. We booked online, which was simple The campground is very well kept. The sites aren’t any closer together than your average campground. It seems to me that the owners are conscientious about keeping everyone spaced out so you don’t have anyone right on top of you. (The campground was not full during our visit) The only con to this place is you don’t get to pick your site. It’s assigned to you. I will said that I asked specifically for a shady spot & they obliged me. (Very nice owners) Not all of the sites are level but hey, that’s was risers are for 🤷🏻♀️ We didn’t have any issues after a couple of well placed risers. Even though the highway is close you don’t notice the traffic noise. It’s very quiet at night. When you arrive & get checked in, someone escorts you to your site & helps get you backed in. They will pick up, fill & return your propane tanks. You just have to leave your tank @ the edge of your camp site. If you leave your trash at the edge of your site they pick it up for you. They will also deliver firewood as well as a fire pit if you don’t have one.
TravelerWe camped next to the fishing pier, the site was a bit uneven and I had to do some creative engineering to get my 26' rig level. It has been very quiet during the week. By the way, we have great T-Mobile service.
GuideGreat campsites, little closer together than what I like but still nice and shaded all paved. Have three dump stations that are very nice. Will definitely come back. Better have reservations, cause it does stay full.
GuideWe stayed at Site 18, which has a reputation for being one of the hardest sites to back into. There’s definitely a trick to it! Pull your truck forward along the site, then pull out toward the site across from you, making an S-turn. From there, line it up and back in. It's tricky, but doable!
We loved this area and packed a lot into our stay. We visited BJ’s Apple Orchard, stopped at Burt’s Pumpkin Farm (where I somehow ended up with a 150-pound pumpkin 😂), had dinner at Cascades Restaurant, and took the easy way to see the falls.
The fenced-in sites were a huge plus, especially with our pups. It gave them more room to roam. The bathrooms and showers are individual rooms, which was nice, and the welcome center is one of the nicest we’ve come across.
And then there’s THE HILL. I was born and raised in the Smokies, so I’m no stranger to mountain roads, but the incline is no joke! The reviews are absolutely not exaggerating when they say it’s steep. Come prepared!
I have T-mobile and husband has Xfinity and we both have great service. Wifi in the campground gets the job done for Netflix at night.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful area, plenty to explore, dog-friendly sites, and a campground we’d visit again. 🏕️🥾
RangerWe stayed on site #25 in early August but due to the elevation the weather was mild.
There were plenty of activities to keep us busy at the park and the staff was friendly and helpful.
One thing that surprised us and worth mentioning is that even though the park is massive, the campground appears to have been an afterthought as it, and the sites are generally very small. It would be nice to see them expand it and make the changes to increase the size of sites.
Also, as we have seen at other parks kids on e-bikes is becoming a real problem and safety concern. Young children, many not wearing helmets, continually racing around the campground with no regard for speed limits or traffic signs. It is a recipe for an injury or an unfortunate fatality.
Hopefully parks will begin addressing this issue.
Cabin camping near Hayesville, North Carolina offers access to the Appalachian foothills at elevations of 1,600-5,000 feet. The area experiences mild springs, warm summers with temperatures rarely exceeding 85°F, and colorful fall foliage from mid-October through early November. Most cabins in this region are within 30 minutes of recreational lakes and hiking trails.
Water recreation at Lake Chatuge: Just minutes from Hayesville cabins, visitors can enjoy fishing, boating, and swimming. "The lake is clean and refreshing. We stayed on hilltop section of the campground. There was a nice covered pavilion by us. Full hookup and wifi," notes a visitor from Trackrock Campground & Cabins.
Historic exploration: The area features several preserved pioneer settlements and Native American archaeological sites. At Tallulah Gorge State Park Campground, a camper suggests: "Stop in the visitor center to see the video which explains the Gorge in more detail, you will find some really interesting facts and feats which will blow your mind."
Mountain biking trails: The Jackrabbit Mountain Trail System offers over 14 miles of purpose-built biking trails less than 10 minutes from most cabins. As one visitor to Vogel State Park Campground observed, "My husband loved that there were many mountain bike trails nearby as well as hiking trails. Downtown Blairsville is also very convenient to this location."
Creek-side relaxation: Many cabins in the area feature small streams on property. "We tent camped here for two nights. The park is very well maintained and there is lots to do. A gazebo sits on the edge of the lake and a covered footbridge allows you to walk across the lake and maybe see some fish," reports a visitor to Bald Mountain Camping Resort.
Mountain views: The surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains provide scenic backdrops for morning coffee. One camper at Murphy/Peace Valley KOA shared, "The campground was very quiet with no road noises and such. For a state park visitor center, it has a unique balance of food items, camping comfort foods, park specific knick-knacks, souvenirs, and practical clothing items."
Communal areas: Many cabin rental properties include shared facilities like game rooms, pavilions, and fire pits. "They have a game room with a tv, pool table, puzzles, games and books. Right behind the game room and office is a porch with rocking chairs. We got ice cream bars for $1 each and ate those in the rocking chairs overlooking the pond," notes a reviewer at Trackrock Campground.
Cabin styles vary significantly: From rustic to luxury, expect different amenities. At Black Rock Mountain State Park Campground, "Some of the sites are small-ish, and since this is literally on the top of a beautiful mountain, the sites are close in proximity to each other."
Seasonal operation schedules: While some properties remain open year-round, others close during winter. "This is a KOA and even though I normally am not a fan of KOAs this place is very different. It is small and heavily treed so the campground does NOT look like a parking lot," explains a visitor about Murphy/Peace Valley KOA, which remains open all year.
Bedding requirements: Most cabins do not provide linens. "The bathhouse was clean and the hot water was hot. A short walk from site 34 are playgrounds, a beach/pond, swings, horseshoes," reports a Trackrock Campground visitor.
Kid-friendly amenities: Choose cabins with playgrounds and open spaces. "We camped at the pioneer camp site by the creek. It has a pavilion and a creek very close by. It was a hike in but it was simply amazing! Highly recommend!!" notes a visitor to Vogel State Park Campground.
Animal encounters: Several properties feature small petting zoos or farm animals. "This place has absolutely breathtaking views, nice lake, well stocked little office store, nice game room, did not do the equestrian part, but I'm sure it's well worth it," shares a reviewer from Trackrock Campground.
Activity planning: Research operating hours for nearby attractions. "My kids and I went camping at Unicoi Park in the summer and there is plenty to keep them busy. They played in the creek, on the swing set and walked the trail to the swimming section of the lake," reports a visitor from another nearby state park.
Site selection for larger rigs: Many cabin rental properties also accommodate RVs but have size limitations. "Big level sites. First time staying here but already one of my favorites," says a reviewer about Bald Mountain Camping Resort.
Hookup variations: Electric amperage and water pressure vary between properties. "Very nice campground. Everything is clean and well maintained. Campsites are gravel with full hook ups and a campfire ring. Wifi most anywhere in the park is great," notes a visitor to Bald Mountain Camping Resort.
Road access considerations: Some properties require navigating steep mountain roads. "Very steep and unlevel roads; especially when leaving. Our camper came in contact with the side of our bed and tailgate multiple times," warns a visitor to Trackrock Campground, suggesting caution for fifth wheel owners.
