Maggie Valley recommendation ?

After having my annual service done in Gaffney,SC this coming year I thought we spend a few days around Maggie Valley before heading to Maine for the summer. In the past we had stayed at Stonebridge, but the last time we were there the place was really run down plus now we have a 43 ft MH, so the sites that were tight with our old 36 ft MH will be really bad for the new one. Looking for FHU/50 amp, really don't need a pool or anything else.
  • Really cool motorcycle museum in Maggy Valley. Every piece is started and runs. I plan on making a trip to the area just to go to this place.

    "Wheels Though Time Museum is the home to the worlds premier collection of rare American motorcycles, memorabilia and a distinct array of unique “one off” American automobiles. Located just 5 miles off the Blue Ridge Parkway in Maggie Valley, North Carolina the museum houses a collection of over 350 rare machines."

  • Creekside Farms and Pride resort are right nest to each other on rt. 276 not that far out of Maggie Valley. There are a couple of others , Trails End is one but I am not familiar with them. Pride has nice sites that will fit your rig . Creekside is nice too. Both will fit your needs.

    If you have Scottish Heritage you might enjoy the Scottish Tartans Museum in downtown Franklin.

    Normally we stay in state parks but the offerings are slim in that regard around that area.


    Thanks for the input--- We had stayed at Stonebridge several times due to their location and we dealt with the crowded sites. Last time it was a real disaster in the park. The pool was ripped up, the staff was indifferent/rude and worst of all, during the weeks we were there, the rest rooms were never cleaned. Hopefully the new owners took care of that, but did they change the layout and the site size ? I just looked at several RV park review sites, I still see ( as of a month or 2 ago) that people are still having issues with the size of the sites at Stonebridge,e.g. can't open awnings due to closeness of the other site. I think I'll pass on that place until I actually go there in person before reserving.
    We did stop in Franklin last year ( we were staying in Dillard,GA) and found the town to be pretty nice. We did not check out the GORV resort. I'd rather be closer to Maggie and the National Park than Franklin

  • Creekwood Farms RV. Lots of friendly people, great staff, quiet and close to Maggie Valley without the tight quarters of being on Main Street.
