Weavers Bend

We absolutely love this paradise! We camp, swim and let the dogs play. If u stay in the large camp near the field u might as well expect visitors at anytime because you cannot see camp site from road. Does anyone know how the flood affected this area? We haven't been down there since😥

This is a beautiful free spot. But be warned, unless you have a large group of people with you to occupy the entire space, you will have to chase at least 10 cars and truck loads of people off your spot per day. For some reason, people don't seem to understand that if a spot is occupied, that means they can't camp there. They instead drive past you and proceed to set up camp on your site.

It's a great place to get away for the day and relax by the river. There is also nice camping areas they keep clean and safe.

There are several dispersed, primitive sites along the French Broad River in Cherokee National Forest, TN near Hot Springs NC and Paint Rock and Houston Valley. This is a fairly accessible, free camp area.

What a beautiful fall ride.... We drove for hours and didn't see anyone so, we were able to drive slow and soak up all fall time has to offer.

Not was it use to be. We locals use to come here as a weekend vacation or just to go fishing. Can't go here anymore with all the tourist and their glamping gear taking up what little space these spots have to offer. No wonder people come down to "your" camping spot and set up near by. This "campground" is for small backpacking campers and their pickup trucks that aren't afraid of the coyotes and bears walking through. Big RVs don't belong down this narrow dirt road with mud holes the size of their egos. If you truly want a Tennessee vacation go to paint Creek. The tourism helps out over there. And you can take any size RV you want. Or go to Gatlinburg. There's cell service there!
