We can't adequately describe how peaceful it is to listen to the birds & watch the sunset over the Smoky Mountains at our "Backside" campground with 6 acres of complete solidarity. Evenings around the firepit w/ the stars are simply magical! Local activities include a secret swimming hole, hiking the Appalachian trail, & whitewater rafting the Nantahala River. There are 6 large tent campsites with 2 shared fire pits, a porta-potty, a fresh water creek, & picnic tables. This is for site "F". The space NOTE: This is NOT an easy drive up car camp site. Guests must have 4x4 to access the campground and MUST arrive during the day so as to not get lost. Our "Backside" campground features 7 "hike in" tent/hammock camping sites, with two communal fire pits, 2 communal picnic tables, and a communal Porta-Potty. A fresh water creek runs through the campsite for easy access to drinking water (though it's probably best to still either filter or boil it). The parking area is 50 ft from the access trail for easy load in and load out. This listing is for just ONE of the 7 sites, so there's a potential other campers will be at one or more of the other sites in the campground. NOTE: All but the last mile to the campsite is paved and easy access. BUT - the last mile of the access road is an unmaintained dirt/mud/gravel road that can be tricky to navigate - especially when we've had heavy rain, and when it's dark, therefore 4x4 is required as is DAYTIME arrival. No one is close by to offer assistance if you ignore this warning and you won't be able to call for help as there's no cell reception in the mountains. DO NOT book this site if you don't have 4x4! If you do have the proper vehicle and mindset - then it's one of the best, secluded, private, primitive campgrounds in the state! Guest access You're welcome to explore all of the trails around our property and gather any firewood you find. I'll also message you the directions to all of the local activities we enjoy in the area just a short drive from the campground. Other things to note This is a primitive campsite for the adventurous group. If you'd like to invite your friends and/or family they can book one of the other 6 sites at the campground. No utilities are provided or even available. There is a freshwater creek running through the campsite but you must filter/boil the water to be safe. There is plenty of firewood to burn but you should bring your own hand saw and/or ax. There is no cell reception at the property. The sites are extremely peaceful! The sites are at the end of a one mile dirt road (mud- when it's raining). Therefore, we require a four-wheel drive vehicle to access the campground.
