Camping in the North Carolina Smokies near Bryson City

A cascading whitewater stream flowing out of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Rippling trout runs, sparkling waterfalls, natural swimming holes, mountain trails lined with wildflowers and a mile of the best whitewater tubing in the Smokies. That's Deep Creek, a family vacation paradise in the Great Smoky Mountains of Western North Carolina.

For more than 25 years, outdoor vacation enthusiasts have been returning to Deep Creek Tube Center & Campground, a Smoky Mountain campground, cabin and RV vacation destination on the banks of Deep Creek, north of Bryson City and near Cherokee, North Carolina.
