Description

Andy and Mary are the hosts of this tranquil spot along the Cullasaja River just outside of Franklin, NC. This property has been in the McGavic family since 1978 when Andy’s mom and dad found this place and fell in love with it. They used it as a refuge from their busy lives in Florida and “home base” when traveling all over the country on their motorcycle. A few years ago, Andy and Mary took over the lovely property and decided it was too nice not to share. They enjoy exploring the many mountain roads in their Jeep, cooking with friends around the campfire and tubing down the river.

Great little campground!

We just finished up a week stay here, and it was excellent. Andy is a wonderful host and very knowledgeable of the area. If you get a chance, try Cafe Rel (French restaurant). It was suggested by Andy, and it WILL NOT disappoint! Also, make a trip over into highlands to the "Highlands Biological Station, Nature Center, and Botanical Gardens". It worth the drive!

Amazing riverfront camping

Very quiet, well maintained, awesome spot on the river! Andy and Mary were great! From us initially getting there Andy helped get us into our spot and made sure we were all set up for our stay! Having the river steps away to fish and let the dogs swim was absolutely perfect! We are very appreciative of both of them for welcoming us and our fur kids to their little slice of heaven. If you're in the Franklin, NC area, we highly recommend Andy & Mary's spot!

Cute RV campground

This is a small RV and tent campground alongside a creek in the mountains of NC. This site is super close to all the amazing Cullasaja river swimming sites. Although the campground is not very large overall it is well cared for and in an incredible location. You can access the creek right from each of the sites and they are paved with gravel making it easy for those with RVs. The sites are not far apart but since there are not many sites available it doesn’t get too loud or crowded. I would highly recommend checking this site out as a jumping-off point to explore the area.
