Quirky RV Site

This campsite is mainly for RVs and is located behind the Whistle Stop shopping area. It has a fun unique feel with lots of old trains, cars, and other vehicles permanently set up around the site. The campsites themselves are large enough for a single RV and a separate car to be parked along with space to set up a grill and sitting area. Each site has a concrete pad and a picnic bench and a full hookup is provided. The campground is very well cared for and they have taken the time to plant lots of beautiful flowers to provide a homey feel. The campsite is also located very close to Cullassaja falls and the road to Highlands. This is an amazing place to explore in the summer since the waterfalls and swimming provide a great way to cool off in the heat.
