Franklin, NC was selected as a destination for it's location in the path of totality during the solar eclipse. We had not stayed here previously so did not know what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised to find a relatively small (30 sites), well-maintained and private campground. Since we were here for the eclipse event, the owners charged an additional amount per campsite that included several meals, happy hours, t-shirts and many other assorted extras. It was well worth the premium!
All sites are full-hookup including wifi and cable. Some of the back-in sites require 4-wheel drive but once setup, are great sites.
The campground is close to downtown Franklin and 30 minutes to the Highlands, NC resort area. Additionally, several festivals were in progress during our stay. Lots of options to explore the surrounding area, e.g., hiking and zip-lining or hanging out at the Lazy Hiker Brewing Company.
Owners and hosts were very accommodating and friendly--we will definitely return!

Excellent location with an easy walk or bike to Commercial! Once setup , we didn’t use our truck once during our weeklong stay! Staff are all very friendly and helpful. Hope to return for a longer stay next summer!

Peaceful location with FHU sites backing up to bubbling brook. Clean bathrooms with private showers. Two miles to the Nantahala Outdoor Center.
Some sites are on big rig friendly “no outlet” road with less traffic than most campgrounds—we will return!
