The campground has two old-fashioned covered wagons where visitors can spend the night. Don't let appearances fool you, this covered wagon is not rustic -- it offers a cool, glamping experience for guests.

In fact, inside you will find a king sized bed, a bunk bed (great for the kids), and even a breakfast table. So it's perfect for a family of four. But be sure to bring your own linens though! Outside of this luxurious camping experience, you will also have a picnic table and grill at your site. These wagons are also close to the bathroom so you will have everything you need close by.

The campground is located in Macon County, which is home to the amazing Appalachian Trail. So when you're not enjoying all the activities at the campsite itself, take in the stunning views of the Smoky Mountains. The surrounding mountains are just an incredible and awe-inspiring site to behold and the best part is you can easily explore them. Many hiking trails throughout Pisgah National Forest can make for a great day excursion. You can also get to the Blue Ridge Highway easily enough and which is filled with all kinds of adventure.
