This area offers camping and hiking, with boating access on Fontana Lake. Cable Cove is 4 miles from Fontana Dam and the Appalachian Trail. The 26 campsites are set in a wooded area near a stream.
Located about 15¼ miles from Robbinsville on HWY 28 North, about 3 miles from Fontana Dam.
Very nice secluded campground! No cell service so plan ahead.
I stayed here with a group of friends last summer and it was so much fun! The sites are large and plenty of parking at them. We had two tents and several hammocks with plenty of room. There is a fire pit as well as large picnic tables. We all just had cars, but plenty of room for RVs as well. No showers and vault toilets. They have a drinking water spigot. There is a little trail just off the campground that was great for walking our dogs. A peaceful little creek runs alongside it. We all had kayaks and with the access right down the road, it make it super convenient. Note that this area has zero cell service. This was nice for our group, but if that is an issue, be forewarned. I definitely recommend this campsite!
Great even for RVs! Large flat parking spots. No hookups but really nice for the area. Make sure not to drive RVs on tail of the dragon west of here.
Beautiful campground next to an amazing lake.
We were able to fit our 34ft* motorhome with towing trailer in site 9. A couple others could also fit but we liked his one.
There was a tiny trail that led to the creek from our site which was so nice.
Cherokee forest was overall very magical!

Only thing that made it a little off was a strange camp host. He didn't do anything wrong per say besides have his dog off leash, which is against rules, and the dog took off several times without him so I didn't feel safe to have my kid walking near them. He also was a little standoffish so just was a little uncomfortable. I'm sure they change hosts often but just something to note.
***Edited my post to fix, I initially put 43 ft, then 23 ft on accident but it's actually 34 ft, lol.
