Cartoogechaye Creek Campground Welcomes You!

Find Your Summer Home or Weekend Escape in the Smokies

Seasonal, Monthly, & Nightly Camping • Open April 1st – October 31st

Whether you are looking for a peaceful mountain retreat to park your RV for the entire seven-month season, or just a quiet place to unwind for the weekend, welcome to Cartoogechaye Creek Campground.

Nestled down in a scenic mountain valley in Franklin, NC, our campground is a hidden gem designed for campers who love simple, old-fashioned relaxation.

We specialize in a laid-back, hands-off atmosphere where you can enjoy the mountains on your own terms. Up here, our guests love to focus on the simpler things: watching the neighboring horses graze, reading a good book in the shade, catching fireflies, or sitting around a crackling campfire under the cool valley night air.

Stress-Free Highway Access

No Mountain Switchbacks

One of our campers’ favorite perks is just how easy we are to get to. We are located right off the main highway, meaning you can completely skip the stress of driving narrow, winding mountain switchbacks or tight, curving roads to get here.

You get the ultimate convenience of easy, flat access right off the highway, tucked down into a quiet valley and relaxation takes over. It’s the perfect, hassle-free setup whether you are pulling in for two nights or staying for the whole summer.
