John's spot is great. It was just as described, waking up and having coffee by the water was perfect. He is very reachable for any questions. The only con for us was the area dogs, they are fenced but do bark at cars, etc. We have a large dog and need to walk him and we felt we were disrupting the peace of the campground due to the area dogs barking at us all the time. So if you have no pets, it is absolutely a perfectly located spot just outside of Dillsboro. We will stay again, when visiting without the dog for sure.

Great location, even better host!

Great location that is close to WCU, Sylva and Dillsboro. John, the host, was very helpful, provided updates that made our stay very easy. The site is in an RV Park so there is little to no privacy between sites.

Loved this spot!

Great location! Loved hearing the creek behind the camp spot while star watching! A little noise from the road but gets very quiet after dark. See less check in and out. Will definitely be back!

Amazing lot on the creek!
7 m travel trailer
John was extremely accommodating and his property was beautiful. The lots were very large, paved, and level. Water, electric, and sewer hookups were well maintained and worked great. The creek that runs behind the spots was gorgeous as well, we loved sitting next to the creek sipping our coffee on the chilly fall morning. Overall, excellent spot and we will certainly be booking here again in the future.

Little gem of a camp site. Love it
4 m travel trailer · With pets
I enjoyed my stay so much. The site was right on the creek and it was clean. A gazebo was shared by the site next to us and had a table and chairs. It was quiet and peaceful. I accidentally booked for the wrong day and then had to cancel for another day and John and Sarah were so understanding. They actually came to the park and met with me. Such a wonderful experience all around. I will definitely be staying again on future trips as I visit with family in the area on a regular basis. John and Sarah are wonderful hosts. I really love the camp site with the creek so close. Next time I will try to make sure I visit during fishing season. John said that the fishing in the creek is very good. April
