About this campground

Our resort is located in Franklin (Macon County) in the Smoky Mountains of Western NC. We are happy to be here, and you will be, too. The park is surrounded by the Great Smokies and the Blue Ridge Parkway. We are located about two-hours north of Atlanta, an hour south of Asheville, and close to Cherokee. We have EZ access, big rig sites within a wooded setting with beautiful mountain range views and spectacular sunsets. We are well-equipped for gatherings, and many groups have visited us numerous times. Our clubhouse features two full kitchens, restroom facilities, wide-screen TV, WII entertainment system, porch, and fabulous mountain views. You will love our amenities we have added and updated! Every campsite and cabin can easily connect to WIFI and Cable. Your Fur Babies will enjoy our “Bark Park”, an enclosed off leash area. You may also want to take advantage of our Doggy Wash Station. These Extra amenities are included in our Resort prices.

What campers say

The Great Outdoors RV Resort is consistently described as a clean, well‑maintained, scenic campground with friendly, attentive staff who often escort and help guests into sites. Many visitors appreciate level, full‑hookup sites, wooded views and on‑site amenities — pool, game room, laundry and tidy restrooms — plus easy access to nearby trails and waterfalls. Note the tradeoffs: site sizes vary and are typically assigned by management, some sites may be tight; several guests report intrusive highway noise, limited or slow Wi‑Fi, and occasional amenity closures. A few reviewers also mention strict check‑in and refund policies.
