The campground is close enough for hiking and sightseeing in the Tellico Plains, rafting the Ocoee River, visiting the must-see Bald River Falls; or visit the Smokey Mountain Cherokee National Forest and surrounding areas of Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, Knoxville, Chattanooga and Nashville for a day trip.

A few more minutes to the Cherohala Skyway and the "Tail of the Dragon" makes an unforgettable loop that you won't want to miss!

Dirt track race fans will want to visit I-75 Raceway (4.3 miles) and/or Mountain View Raceway (24 miles) for exciting weekend entertainment. Smoky Mountain Speedway is a little further way at 34 miles... a 45 minute drive.

During June and July you should find a beautiful firefly and lightning bug 'show' over the field that skirts the 'back' of the campground! Their arrival is usually late June early July.

About a 10-to-45-minute drive into surrounding towns for good food.
