Nice vibe.
The road is pretty quiet -- way quieter than any campground. The neighborhood hound dogs do sing a lot -- till daddy gets home, so it's not a late night issue.
Comfortable seating. The good firewood is a very nice touch. I took down the motion detector light and put it back up before I left. But that's just a "me thing" -- I prefer to see the stars.
The hosts let us know they were available anytime, then gloriously left us alone. The situation was very private. No one driving by can see you tucked behind your camper, if you unhook and park your truck strategically.
The septic dump is all the way at the back of the site, so park and pack hose accordingly.
Thank you for sharing. We enjoyed being there and love to play in this area.

We love the location. In a few minutes you are downtown Bryson City and then you can retreat to the outskirts of woods and mountain scenery. Flyfishing was close as was NOC. Roy and Sue will always let you know what's going on locally for dinner, a drink or kayaking. We'll be back soon.

We'll be back
Great location close yo Bryson but you can step back away from it here. Good power and water and septic. We brought internet 5g tower from home and worked great. Roy and Sue are super friendly and we can't wait to rebook soon

Very nice spot and very quiet. Great for a couple or a small group. Roy was great when we arrived helping us get backed in and making sure we had everything we needed. Far enough away to be quiet and out of the way but close enough to all there is to do in and around Bryson City.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Happy Holler. It was very easy to back into the camping spot. And the location is beautiful! Located just outside of town, so it’s quiet, but close to the railroad and downtown. There is a covered deck where you can sit with a view of the woods and the creek that runs right through the backyard. Very dog friendly. Our hosts Sue and Roy gave us a few tips on what to do in the area, and their suggestions were spot on. Rafting, riding the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad, bike riding the Tsali Bike Trail. There is so much to do just a short drive from Happy Holler! We will visit Bryson City again , and we will stay at the same camping spot.
