- TPUCExplorerWe stay at River Valley in Cherokee. Great location on Big Cove Rd.
- tbolt2000ExplorerNever stayed there but once when camping in Cherokee we rode by to check it out. Personally I did not care for it the sites seemed close. It is off the "beaten path" and on a quite road so that was not to bad for our taste.
We use to stay at Happy Holidays and liked it a lot, until it closed down. It reopened about a year later under new management and some sections of the campground was not opened with the rest of the campground.
When Happy Holidays closed we started staying at Indian Creek. It is 15 min out of Cherokee and really nice sites on the river. Sites 2B thru 12 are in a row and seem close for my likening. We really liked site 1B it is set back and private, although not right on the river and no hookup or water.
We also stayed at site 31. Again not on the river but nice. Sites 1 and 2 are large and would be great for two families, but difficult to get. They seemed booked months in advance. My favorite is 1B.
overall the campground is off the beaten path and very quite, well maintained. There are no houses even close to the campground and approx. 1 mile up the road it turns to a dirt road.
just my 2 cents worth as I like sites not on top of each other, quite, shaded with trees and not close the hustle and bustle.
