Best RV Parks & Resorts near Topton, NC

The Nantahala region provides multiple RV accommodations including Nantahala RV Resort & Campground with 34 sites offering full hookups, both 30 and 50-amp service. Deer Springs RV Park in Franklin maintains 12 big-rig friendly sites with level gravel parking areas and concrete slabs for outdoor setup. "The sites are fairly close together but they do have some options that are more spaced out," noted one visitor about Riverbend RV Park. Peachtree Cove RV Park features 26 sites with sewer, water, and electric connections, situated along a creek with drive-in and walk-in access options for RVs up to moderate size.

Most RV parks in the area require reservations, particularly during fall foliage season when availability becomes limited. Road access varies significantly - some parks like The Great Outdoors RV Resort accommodate large motorhomes, while Hidden Waters and Nantahala Tiny Homes have tighter turning radiuses that may challenge longer rigs. Dump stations are available at several locations including Peachtree Cove and Hidden Waters, though not at all facilities. Pet policies differ across properties; Riverbend prohibits pets while most others welcome them. Cell service can be inconsistent in mountain valleys, though one camper mentioned, "AT&T works just fine" near Lake Santeetlah. Many RV parks in the region remain open year-round, providing full hookup service during winter months.

    Little River Campground & RV Resort

    Such a gem!

    Husband and I wanted to get away and found this campground- it is such a gem! You can't see it well from the road, but there is a huge sign out by the road. Trust it! You're in the right place. You drive across a small bridge across the Little River when you get to the campground, but it can handle big rigs. We saw many massive Class A campers while we were here for 6 nights. We pull a 30 ft travel trailer and used a pull through site- very large spot as far as rv sites go. They have back in spots for campers and tents literally on the bank of the river and you're allowed to swim, play, tube, etc in the river at your own risk. Camp store has firewood and a few essentials, but they don't sell propane. We got ours filled at the Tractor Supply in Alcoa, TN nearby. They had crafts and hayrides while we were here. Wifi is free but not great. Verizon cell service was good enough at 3 bars the whole time. No on-site laundry services, so we had to go into town to use laundromat (nearby town of Townsend is adorable but no laundromat). The grounds offer tent, cabin, and rv sites with various levels of electric, water, cable and sewer access. Our site had 30amp, water, sewer and cable. Nice and level site, large fire pit, sturdy plastic and metal picnic table and large beautiful mature trees. The bathhouse is seriously impressive and is, by far, the nicest campground bathhouse I've ever used! One of my favorite features was random and I never knew I was missing it in my life until now.. the bathrooms have strong AC pumping right into each bathroom, making everything nice and cool when you come in from the hot campsite.. wonderful! Good view of the mountains in the distance and minutes away from Great Smoky Mountain National Park entrance. This is a wonderful find!

    Cades Cove Campground

    Quite, beautiful, weekend traffic

    This is one of the quietest campgrounds I’ve stayed at. Sites are nestled in the woods in a cove in the Smokies. No cell service. No internet. No cable tv. Just peace and quiet! This is a national park campgrounds, so no water, electric or hookups. There is a dump station and modern bathrooms. Cold water showers. There is a camp store with basics. There is a lot of traffic especially on weekends with visitors driving the scenic Cades Cove Loop Road.

    Townsend-Great Smokies KOA

    Right outside of Great Smoky Mountain National Park

    Amazingly clean campgrounds 10 minutes from the entrance of the National Park and 20 minutes from the Visitor's Center.

    You have a choice of "rustic" tent sites, tent sites with water/electric/cable hook-ups, RV, or Cabins. All sites are pet-friendly including cabins. All camp sites include fire pit and picnic table.

    Lots of amenities are included in your stay. 2 bathroom areas, 1 shower area, pool, wi-fi, etc.

    There's a general store in front of the campgrounds with gas station and small cafe attached. The general store will even deliver your purchased firewood to your site.

    A nice vacation spot.

    Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg KOA Campground

    Glamping in Pigeon Forge

    This is not exactly the camping in the woods without hookups atmosphere. This is more of a every want/need met glamping RV Resort. And it’s awesome!

    The RV sites are large and level, full hookup. There are gorgeous cabins that look more like tiny homes, and the atmosphere at this park is a great way to retreat. 100 ft max for RVs.

    Very kid friendly, pet friendly (Kamp K9), lots in the area to go do and see. Pools, hot tub, kitchen, firewood for sale, fishing access, snack bar, cable tv, and WiFi.

    The staff here is awesome, very helpful and knowledgeable. The park is very clean and well kept.

    Cellular service for TMobile was not very strong but AT&T provided plenty for streaming and working.

    Indian Creek Campground

    Excellent Campground

    Indian Creek Campground in Cherokee, NC is a hidden gem. Nice hosts, clean facilities in the woods. We have a 25 ft pull behind camper and sites are big enough for slide-outs. Picknick table and campfire ring was on site. We had a 30 amp full hook-up site. Campground has tent sites, RV sites, cabins, clean bathhouse and is dog friendly.

    Persimmon Creek RV Park

    Convenient access with comfortable amenities!

    Let me start out by saying this was our first campground for our travel trailer.  I don't have a huge point of reference, but I can give you details on everything that was smooth

    • Location - Just off a 4 lane highway.  Convenient with easy access to your site.  Plenty of room to back in to your spot.  There were limited "pull-through" sites.  During the day you can hear highway traffic, but at night that road gets little traffic so it is quiet.
    • The owners are great!  This is a mom & pop operation but you can tell they put their heart into this place.  Both are friendly and accomodating
    • Sites are very spacious.  Our spot was freshly mowed, had a picnic table, fire pit, electric & water hookups.  We had a small stream behind and a pond in front of us.   The site we occupied had trees between our neighbors.  Just enough privacy to not worry if someone was looking in your windows.
    • While I didn't use their public restrooms, my wife said they were VERY VERY clean.  She worked in a hospital for a long time, so if she says they are clean, they are clean.  There were showers available but we did not use them.
    • They have firewood for $5 a bundle.  They encourage you to not bring firewood from other places in order to help prevent bug/disease spread (very common nowadays)
    • Two ponds for fishing.  One was closed till the weather is cooler.  I'm guessing they stock it with trout.
    • LOTS of hiking trails within a short drive.  We visited the Ocoee River and Copper Basin TN.  Easy day trip for hiking, biking, rafting, breweries, restaurants, etc.

    We will definitely visit this spot again.  It's about an hour and 15 minutes from our house but feels like we are further.  Very convenient and worth it for $30 per night. $30 was the RV rate, check their website for the most up to date pricing.


Guide to Topton

The Nantahala National Forest surrounds the small community of Topton, North Carolina, situated at approximately 2,000 feet elevation in the southwestern mountains. RV camping options in this region range from riverside sites to mountain-view accommodations, with many parks remaining open year-round despite seasonal temperature variations. Several campgrounds can accommodate both short-term weekend stays and extended monthly visits.

What to do

River recreation access: Located just 2 miles from Nantahala Tiny Homes & RV Park, the Nantahala Outdoor Center offers rafting, kayaking and hiking. "The location is fantastic. Less than 2 miles from the NOC, rafting, kayaking, and hiking," notes one visitor who appreciated the proximity to water activities.

Golf courses nearby: Within half a mile of Sundowner RV Village, guests can access a beautiful golf course. According to a camper who spent four months at the facility, "One half mile to beautiful golf course. One mile to clay county park. 3 fishing piers within 4 miles."

Day trips to waterfalls: Many campgrounds serve as convenient baseposts for waterfall exploration throughout the region. "Good base for day trips to water falls, Cherokee, or Maggie Valley," mentioned one visitor about the local camping opportunities near Franklin.

What campers like

Riverside camping spots: Several parks feature creek and riverside sites that campers consistently rate highly. At Peachtree Cove RV Park, visitors enjoy the waterfront setting: "Stayed for several months and loved the spacious sites, the creek and the river. Shopping is close yet still tucked away nicely in the NC mountains."

Quiet, natural settings: The peaceful environment draws repeat visitors. One camper at Pines RV Park and Cabins shared: "The site was beautiful... the bathhouse was sparkling clean." Another noted, "Tent sites are near the small stream running behind the grounds."

Family-run hospitality: Small, family-operated rv sites near Topton, North Carolina receive praise for their personal attention. "Lou meets you at the office and guides you to your campsite and politely offers to guide you in. We used his help and he guided us in to an inch of the cement pad for our front porch," wrote one satisfied RVer about their experience.

What you should know

Cash/check policies: Some smaller parks have specific payment requirements. As one visitor to Pines RV Park noted, "They do only accept cash or checks, but I'd absolutely recommend Pines for your travel break."

Age restrictions: Certain rv accommodations near Topton operate as adult communities. The Great Outdoors RV Resort is described as "a well maintained 55+ campground that has a nice ratio of RV campsites and Park Model living."

Highway noise considerations: Road noise affects some campgrounds more than others. One camper observed, "The only issue I have with this park is that if you are not there by 5pm, they will not park you so don't plan to arrive after work on a Friday and hope to spend the long weekend."

Weather preparedness: Mountain weather can change quickly. A visitor at Hidden Waters mentioned camping during a snow storm: "This place is just fantastic! Family owned and operated this little gem is a great place to kick back and relax. Got us in last minute and right before a snow storm!"

Tips for camping with families

Recreation facilities: Look for parks with on-site activities for kids. "They have a rec room with ping pong, pool, and puzzles. Horse shoes are also available," mentioned a camper about amenities at one local park.

Tent camping surfaces: Hidden Waters RV Park & Campground offers tent sites with specific ground conditions to consider: "If tent camping I would recommend a free standing tent and a good quality sleeping pad. The pads are nice & level but the ground was difficult to get steaks anchored into & the rocks feel like rocks without a good pad in your tent."

Stream sound benefits: Creekside sites provide natural white noise for better sleep. "The sounds of the running water from the creek was extremely relaxing and I slept great. The campground is very quiet and serene," reported one tent camper.

Swimming access: During summer months, pool availability varies by location. A visitor noted, "The pool was closed for off season and there is a Rec Bldg which we didn't try out but has laundry facilities inside of it."

Tips from RVers

Site selection for noise: Choose sites farther from highways when possible. An RVer at The Great Outdoors noted, "We stayed in site 6 - supposedly a premium site with shade, but there was plenty of major road noise from our site."

Big rig considerations: Not all parks accommodate larger rigs despite advertising. One camper with a 43' fifth wheel at Peachtree Cove shared their experience: "I am 13'6" in height and there is a cable/power line over this site and site 16 that hangs a bit too low and my AC unit got acquainted with it."

Arrival timing: Check park policies for late arrivals before booking. "If you are not there by 5pm, they will not park you so don't plan to arrive after work on a Friday and hope to spend the long weekend," cautioned an RVer about their camping experience.
