Yes. we have stayed a couple of times at Fort Tatham. It is an older park with a lot of seasonal residents who come back year after year, so it has an older community feel. That would not be everyone's 'cup of tea' but we enjoyed it.
In those days we always enjoyed having family style lunch at the Jarrod House in Dillsboro. I have heard that the food is not as good as it once was. But I would stop by to see for myself if I were in that area.
In more recent times we have stayed at Holly Cove RV which has a Whittier, NC address. (Near Cherokee but outside the touristy area.)
We have also stayed several times at Creekwood Farms, near Waynesville (as noted above).
On the Sylva side of the hills, I'd choose Holly Cove.
Our connection with this area goes back more than 50 years and we've been back more times than we can count.
