Oh, my!! Another epic weekend at Orchard Cove. Enjoyed the splendor of Gregory Bald in spite of showers. Orchard Cove was as wonderful as ever...cleanest and quietest and prettiest place for horsecamping in the Smokies. I love the Webbs like family and cannot explain what their lovely place and their hospitality means to me.

Orchard Cove is the nicest and most well run of any facility near the Smokies. It is my personal retreat where I go for a weekend of good friends, incredible riding, and peaceful camping. I love nothing better than to introduce other friends to my good friends the Webbs and their beautiful slice of heaven in the Smoky Mtns at Orchard Cove!

I am lucky to live about an hour's drive from Orchard Cove, and it is one fantastic place to ride from. The camiping is wonderful, too, with the nicest stalls of any, a huge covered arena, and wonderful scenic yet challenging trails right from the campground. You can also rent one of their trailers to access other trailheads in the Smokies. When it comes to hospitality Freda, Ed, and Heather are the best. They keep the barns immaculate and wander through the campground throughout the day and evening to make sure everyone if well taken care of. It is my favorite place to horse camp!
