Campground Turkey Creek Cabins & Horse Camp is secluded in a wooded cove in the Pisgah National Forest, high in the Great Smoky Mountains, just minutes from the Cataloochee entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Located 6 miles off I-40 between Asheville, NC, and Knoxville, TN, it is within visiting distance of Knoxville, Asheville, Maggie Valley, Cataloochee Ski Resort, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Dollywood, the Biltmore Estate, the Cherokee Indian Reservation with it's Harrah's Casino Complex, and much more. Although centrally located and easily accessible, Turkey Creek Cabins & Horse Camp is serenely isolated from the noisy world outside.

All cabins sleep four with a queen-size bed in the bedroom and a queen-size sofabed in the living area. Furthermore, they are fully furnished and fully equipped. We do not have hook ups for campers at this time. Horses are accomodated in pastures. Our property is gated so your horses are secure while you are able to visit the many attractions in the area when not riding the many trails available that you can trailer to easily from Turkey Creek Cabins and Horse Camp.
