With our location at the edge of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, we enforce the Park’s rules and guidelines regarding firewood.

Do not bring firewood unless it is heat-treated, bundled and certified by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) or a state agency. Certified heat-treated firewood is packaged and clearly marked with a state or federal seal. Heat-treated wood is available at Deep Creek Tube Center & Campground.

We cannot guarantee the specific campsite or cabin you reserved if you change the arrival or departure date after the reservation has been confirmed.

Please understand that we are a small private campground, and last minute cancellations have a significant impact on us and other prospective guests we have had to turn away.
