Hiking

Twice Is Nice

15 RV Sites

Twice Is Nice in Englewood, Tennessee, offers 15 full-hookup RV sites in McMinn County's southern hill country, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 70 feet. A single 20/30/50-amp full-hookup category means every guest gets the same spec, with themed cabins, walking trails, a pond, and sports courts. Fifteen sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 70 feet, with fire pits. One consistent category covering all three amperages means any rig plugs in without an adapter and there is no guesswork about what you booked. Seventy feet accommodates a long coach with a tow — genuinely generous for a park this size. Accessible sites are available. Themed cabins round out the lodging. Walking trails, a pond, and sports courts fill the grounds, with horseshoes and volleyball besides. A river is nearby. The amenity set is deliberately small-scale, which keeps rates accessible and suits a quiet retreat. Pets are welcome. Englewood sits in the river country between the Hiwassee and the Ocoee, which puts an unusual concentration of whitewater within a short drive. The Ocoee hosted the 1996 Olympic whitewater events and remains one of the most popular rafting rivers in the country, while the Hiwassee offers gentler floats. The Cherohala Skyway begins at Tellico Plains just east — 43 miles of high-elevation mountain road through the Cherokee and Nantahala National Forests — and the Great Smokies are within reach. Summer rafting season and fall foliage drive the heaviest demand. Reserve ahead for June through October.

Foxfire of Murphy RV Park

18 RV Sites

Foxfire of Murphy RV Park in Murphy, North Carolina, offers 18 full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 110 feet — a remarkable length allowance for an 18-site boutique property. Premium creekside back-ins join premium full-hookup and pull-through categories in the far western corner of the state. Eighteen sites run in premium creekside back-in, premium full-hookup, and premium pull-through categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 110 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and site WiFi. The creekside category is worth requesting. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. With 18 sites, reserve rather than counting on availability. Pets are welcome. A creek runs the property with walking trails alongside, and a community fire pit and dog park fill the grounds. Birding and picnicking run from the site. The intimate scale and year-round operation make this a genuine home base rather than an overnight stop. Murphy is the Cherokee County seat and the westernmost city of any size in North Carolina, at the convergence of the Hiwassee and Valley Rivers near the Tennessee and Georgia lines. That tri-state position gives an outdoor variety few small Appalachian cities match: whitewater rafting, Fields of the Wood, fishing, swimming and boating, Harrah's Cherokee Valley River Casino, and extensive hiking, with mountains and a lake nearby. Summer and October foliage drive demand. Reserve well ahead.

Blue Ridge RV Resort

76 RV Sites

Blue Ridge RV Resort in Morganton, GA, offers 76 full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 100 feet. The categories are named for position on the property: creek side back-ins, inner circle back-ins, inner circle buddy back-ins, inner circle pull-thrus, and buddy pull-thrus for two rigs traveling together. All carry water, sewer, and electric. The resort is rated big rig friendly, and at 100 feet it takes the longest coaches — genuinely rare in the Georgia mountains. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, propane fills, a clubhouse, and a recreation center cover the practical side. Pets are welcome, with a dog park and a playground. Creek frontage, corn hole, swimming, fishing, and dark mountain sky for stargazing fill the grounds, with a lake, a river, golf, and the mountains nearby. Morganton sits on Wright Mill Road in the Blue Ridge foothills of Fannin County, four miles from Lake Blue Ridge and within reach of the Toccoa River. Rates by site category are on the booking page. Buddy sites and creek side back-ins book first — mention if you're traveling with another rig.

Mountaineer Campground

42 RV Sites, 3 Cabins

Mountaineer Campground in Townsend, Tennessee, offers 42 RV sites and three cabins along the Little River, with 30 and 50-amp full hookups, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 50 feet. Off-river categories run from 30-amp through deluxe 50-amp, with dedicated van, pop-up, and tent sites, on the quiet western approach to the Smokies. Forty-two sites span off-river 30-amp, off-river 50-amp, off-river deluxe 50-amp, and dedicated van, pop-up, and tent categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, BBQ pits, cable TV, and site WiFi. Having a separate category for vans and pop-ups is genuinely useful — small rigs are not charged for space they do not need. Three cabins round out the accommodations. Restrooms and showers handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a playground, pavilion, and walking trails on the grounds. The Little River runs the property, giving guests fishing, swimming, and the constant sound of clear mountain water over river stones — the sensory backdrop that distinguishes Townsend camping from the commercial experience in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Hiking, biking, and birding run from camp. Townsend bills itself as the Peaceful Side of the Smokies, and the description holds. Little River Outfitters on Highway 321 and The Backcountry on State Highway 73 can help plan fishing in the park. Summer and October foliage drive demand. Reserve well ahead.

One hundred twenty sites span Eagle Crest back-in, back-in buddy, pull-through, and premiere motorcoach pull-in categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 103 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Accessible sites are available. The premiere motorcoach pull-in category is built for large coaches, and 103 feet backs that up. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, showers, firewood, and a pet washing station handle the practical side. The resort has three physical levels, each with its own pricing — check the map before booking. An outdoor pool and hot tub and sauna anchor the property, with a fitness center, bar, pavilion, sports courts, pickleball, walking trails, hiking, mountain biking, golf cart rentals, and a dog park besides. Pets are welcome. The elevated sites command sweeping views of the North Georgia Appalachians above the Cartecay River valley, in Gilmer County's apple-growing highlands. Fall foliage and apple season drive the sharpest demand from Atlanta. Reserve well ahead for October weekends.

Nantahala Ridge Campground

3 RV Sites, 5 Cabins

Nantahala Ridge Campground in Bryson City, NC, offers 3 full-hookup RV sites and 5 cabins, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service. Sites come as back-ins and pull-thrus, each carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. Maximum rig length isn't published, so call with your dimensions before booking — the roads in this canyon are narrow and it's worth the minute. Laundry is on site, and the five cabins give guests without a rig a place to stay. Pets are welcome. Three RV sites in a river canyon is the appeal: hiking from the property, dark-sky stargazing, and no crowd. Bryson City sits in Swain County where the Nantahala runs cold and clear through a corridor of rhododendron and hemlock, minutes from the Nantahala Outdoor Center and the southern entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Rates for sites and cabins are on the booking page. Confirm your rig's fit when you reserve, and book early for rafting season and fall color.

Pigeon Forge RV Resort

182 RV Sites

Two things worth knowing: the creekfront category is partial hookup rather than full, and the Deluxe Micro tier right-sizes for compact rigs. Accessible sites are available. A general store, laundry, dump station, and firewood handle the practical side. The bathhouse has 13 private bathrooms, each with its own shower. Four people are included per site, each additional person is $7 per day, and eight is the maximum. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with mini-golf, volleyball, golf cart rentals, a pond, creek, playground, pavilion, community fire pit, dog park, and snack bar filling the grounds. Fishing, hiking, biking, and live music round it out. Dollywood, the Parkway, and the park's busiest entrance are all at hand. Summer and fall foliage drive demand hard. Reserve well ahead.

A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side.
