In terms of shade and privacy, while there were plenty of trees throughout the CG, the creekside sites were pretty tightly packed in, with very little (if any) privacy in between. Whether it was gently babbling or angrily rushing, the creek provided a beautiful backdrop to our site, and we really enjoyed seeing, hearing, and playing in it. However, according to the staff on-site, you’re at a higher elevation and upstream enough where flash flooding isn’t an issue (which proved to be true for us). The stream is normally perfect for wading and fishing (stocked by the Cherokee tribe once per week), although it did become a little high and fast-moving after a few days of non-stop torrential rain. The site was pretty large, level, and had unparalleled views and access to Bunches Creek. Site Details: We stayed in site #6, which is a premium creekside W/E site. Wonderful place to stay, will stay again! There is no cellphone coverage and the campground WiFi signal is very weak but usable for a quick text.
INDIAN CREEK FULL
The full hookup sites have no view of the water either but everyone in the campground can certainly hear the stream. Also, pick you site carefully as some are right off the road with no view of the water. There is a small playground for children, but I think they will have far more fun in the water. Bunches Creek is the main attraction, hiking trails are a short drive away, stream fishing is a bit of a challenge but a trio of fishermen were successful. Rather than leaving our site, I decided to walk south on Bunches Creek Road which follows the creek and got some beautiful views (see pics).Īs for negatives, it just depends on what you want. Hiking requires a short drive to Oconaluftee River Trailhead and Mingo Falls. A couple of people did fish from our site for a few minutes, but we didn't mind because of the difficultly of wading the stream. I attempted to wade up the stream just for the adventure (no fishing gear), but the rocks are very loose and the banks of the creek are steep. Site 2, where we stayed, shares a common driveway with site 1, but it was not a problem. Be sure to head towards Cherokee on US 441, then get on Big Cove Road (1410), then then turn right on Bunches Creek Road and head for about 1 1/2 miles in.Īll of the sites are gravel.
We followed the advice on the Indian Creek Campground website.
I was worried about black bears, but the staff assured me there are no problems whatsoever at the campsite.Īccess was easy for our class B RV. The staff is very helpful and friendly, willing to explain the fishing rules and provided advice regarding Cherokee laws and regulations. There is a fish cleaning station that has two large sinks, cleaning surfaces and waste barrels. It was so wonderful to sleep to the sound of the rushing waters and awake to its view. We positioned our RV within 15 feet of Bunches Creek, which provided a beautiful view from the comfort of our sleeping quarters. Our site was electric and water only with easy access to the dump station. We arrived at about 6:00 PM which is office closing time, but the staff decided to remain for an additional hour so they could accommodate the late arrivals.very friendly!
